The Costa Blanca is solidifying its position as a real estate hotspot in Spain, experiencing significant activity and record-high prices in 2025, largely fueled by international demand.

According to the Eurojavea Report on the Real Estate Market in Costa Blanca 2026, presented by Eurojavea, Alicante province recorded 53,385 home sales in 2025, a 2.9% increase from the previous year. This places it as the third province with the highest real estate activity in Spain. The market is predominantly second-hand, accounting for 81.5% of transactions (43,525), while new builds represent 18.5% (9,860).
Despite a slight moderation in pace during the last quarter, with 9,261 operations and a 6.6% year-on-year decrease, the market remains 35.1% above levels from five years ago, indicating historical robustness.
Most activity is concentrated in key municipalities, particularly in the south of the province. Torrevieja reasserts itself as the main driver, with 1,780 sales in the fourth quarter, also standing out nationally. It is closely followed by Alicante city, with 1,601 operations, and Orihuela, with 1,244, forming an axis that structures much of the provincial residential market. Other localities with significant volumes include Elche (813), Dénia (480), Santa Pola (471), Guardamar del Segura (349), Pilar de la Horadada (305), Jávea (289), Villajoyosa (287), and Calp (253).
Regarding prices, Xàbia (Jávea) leads the Valencian Community with 3,436 euros per square meter, after a 13.3% year-on-year increase. This upward trend is widespread across the Costa Blanca, with Calp (3,042 €/m², +18.3%), Dénia (2,676 €/m², +14.2%), Santa Pola (2,323 €/m², +19.7%), Alicante (2,205 €/m², +17.1%), and Torrevieja (2,132 €/m², +17.6%) all recording double-digit increases. The provincial average price stands at 2,074 euros per square meter, with an 11.7% increase, confirming a sustained upward trend since 2014.
Foreign demand is a crucial factor, with Alicante leading Spain with 43.3% of purchases made by non-residents. This demand is primarily concentrated in the south, with Torrevieja (1,529 sales), Orihuela (1,106), and Alicante (683) at the forefront. International buyers, with higher purchasing power (an average of 218,574 euros per transaction), mainly come from the Netherlands (1,004 operations), the United Kingdom (831), Belgium (740), Poland (643), and Germany (548).
Data from December 2025 already anticipates further price increases, with Jávea reaching 3,879 euros per square meter, followed by Calp (3,481 €/m²) and Dénia (3,275 €/m²). This dual dynamic, with Marina Alta leading the most exclusive prices and Vega Baja concentrating the highest sales volume, defines a market under constant tension due to high demand and limited supply.
