The Marbella Property Market: A Unique Investment Landscape
Marbella remains one of Europe’s most attractive destinations for real estate investment. While 2022 saw a 4,523 total transactions – a decline compared to the previous year – the adjustment is viewed by industry professionals not as a market downturn but as a stabilization phase following years of record-breaking activity.
Signs of Market Resilience
Despite fewer total transactions, Q4 2022 recorded a 5.53% increase in home sales, with 1,201 properties sold, 63 more than in Q4 2021. This uptick in the final quarter suggests that investor confidence in Marbella remains strong.
Urban planning specialist Alejandro Criado noted that the adjustment is linked more to evolving mortgage conditions and buyer financing structures than a lack of interest in Marbella properties. The fundamentals of the market remain solid: high international demand, limited land for development, and a luxury lifestyle unmatched on the Costa del Sol.
