October 2026: Spain’s Housing Figures in Perspective

What the latest releases cover

The figures published in October describe August 2026 activity across Spain. They come from two separate provisional statistical series, covering home sales and mortgages. They do not describe completed October transactions or changes in Marbella property prices.

National figures provide context. They are not Marbella price data, a valuation or a forecast.

Bring the comparison down to the neighbourhood

Start by comparing homes in the same neighbourhood, with similar size, condition and intended use. If you are considering both Nueva Andalucía and La Quinta, Benahavís, look closely at the actual addresses. Test the journeys you would make and compare access, terrace privacy and maintenance responsibilities.

Compare shortlisted homes consistently

Use the same checklist for each property: internal and terrace areas, condition, parking, orientation and ongoing costs. Ask what supports the asking price and whether any sale-price comparisons can be documented. Record which details are confirmed and which need further investigation.

Make financing part of your preparation

If you plan to borrow, ask a lender or independent mortgage adviser to assess your circumstances and explain the costs and approval process. Include purchase taxes, fees and any planned works in the budget you discuss. Ask what could change between an initial assessment and formal approval.

Turn your plans into a focused search

Share your total purchase budget, preferred areas, intended use and target purchase date with us. We can use that brief to shortlist suitable homes, arrange viewings and help gather information for your independent advisers. After each viewing, you will have a clearer basis for deciding what to revisit and what still needs checking.
