Price growth 2025

77%
New build transactions
Nearly 8 out of every 10 properties sold in Estepona are new build — the highest ratio in the Golden Triangle. A clear signal of a market driven by premium new construction demand.
-20%
vs Marbella
Estepona offers comparable quality and finishes to Marbella at prices still 20% lower. A window of opportunity that is closing fast as the market matures.
The growth of Estepona — from quiet coastal town to top market
What ten years ago was still a quiet fishing town is today the most dynamic new build market on the Costa del Sol
URBAN TRANSFORMATION
Estepona has undergone a remarkable urban transformation over the past decade. The historic centre was completely renovated — pedestrian streets, whitewashed facades with flowers, squares and a harbour promenade that give the town an authentic and attractive character that Marbella lost long ago.
RECORD PUBLIC INVESTMENT
Estepona’s local government approved its highest ever budget in 2025 — €132 million — with €35 million dedicated to urban maintenance and beautification. A well-managed municipality that actively invests in the environment of your assets is an appreciation factor few markets can offer.
INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION
Major international developers — including names from the UK, Netherlands, Scandinavia and the Gulf states — have invested heavily in Estepona over recent years. More than 170 active new build projects are the result. International demand is accelerating and prices are following.
RENTAL YIELD FROM TOURISM
Tourist rental demand in Estepona grows year on year. Well-located apartments in complexes with pools generate between 5% and 7% gross yield annually — sustained by long-season European tourism and growing demand from digital nomads and remote workers.
Why Estepona — and not Marbella or another town?
Estepona sits between Marbella and Gibraltar — 30 minutes from Málaga Airport, 20 minutes from Puerto Banús
PRICE — QUALITY RATIO
Comparable quality and finishes to Marbella — but still 20% lower in price. For the buyer who missed Marbella, Estepona is the second opportunity.
MORE SUPPLY — MORE CHOICE
With 170+ active new build projects, Estepona has the largest supply on the Costa del Sol. In Marbella, new build is scarce — the best projects there sold out long ago.
AUTHENTICITY WITHOUT OVERCROWDING
Estepona combines the charm of an authentic Andalusian town with modern infrastructure and blue flag beaches — without the overcrowding that characterises other coastal towns.
