Market Context: Price Recovery and Growth

After the 2008-2012 crisis, Costa Blanca South prices bottomed in 2013. Since then, the region has experienced consistent appreciation: 2013-2019 (+45%), 2019-2024 (+68%), with sustained momentum driven by post-pandemic migration, EU residency demand, and limited new land availability. Prices now exceed pre-crisis peaks, but remain 25-40% below equivalent Costa Blanca North properties.
