The real estate market in Spain begins 2026 with strong increases in second-hand housing, consolidating a sustained growth trend. High demand and limited supply are pushing prices to record levels, especially in coastal areas, reinforcing the value of the real estate sector.

Why second-hand housing prices are rising

One of the most common questions is why prices keep increasing. The answer is simple: there are more buyers than available properties.

Demand remains high and steady, both from national and international buyers, reflecting real interest in property investment. At the same time, supply is more limited, which drives the appreciation of property values.

For homeowners, this means a clear situation: their properties are worth more than a few years ago.

What is really happening in the market

Beyond the increase, the key point is that the market shows stability and continuity. This is not a temporary spike, but a sustained trend.

Second-hand housing remains the main purchase option, especially in areas where new developments are limited. This keeps the market active and creates real opportunities for both buying and selling.

How it affects Costa Blanca and Mar Menor

In areas such as Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa, Pilar de la Horadada, or the Mar Menor, this trend results in a particularly dynamic market.

International interest continues to grow, with buyers seeking a second home, investment, or lifestyle change. This keeps demand active throughout the year and strengthens property values in the area.
