Housing on the Costa Blanca: price analysis and investment opportunities 2026
The 2026 view: house prices will continue to rise, what you need to know if you are looking for a house on the Costa Blanca
Recently, the economist Andrés González stated forcefully that "house prices will not, and a hundred times not, will fall in the coming years", arguing that demand is still much higher than supply, a structural situation that prevents widespread falls. (elconfidencial.com)
For those of us who operate on the Costa Blanca, both buyers and investors or owners, these statements are not just another piece of information, but a real warning about the dynamics of the market. Below, we analyse what it means for towns such as Moraira, Jávea, Calpe, Benissa, Altea or Benitachell, and how you can take advantage of it or prepare for this scenario.
📈 Why won't prices go down? What the national analysis says
- According to González, the imbalance between the high demand for housing and the scarce supply available means that prices are "shielded" against falls. (elconfidencial.com)
- In 2025, macroeconomic data confirm that house prices in Spain continue to rise sharply. (El País)
- This context of prolonged increase in prices makes housing an investment asset with high resistance to decline, especially in areas with attractiveness, tourism, foreign demand or connectivity: typical characteristics of the Costa Blanca.
🌊 What this means for the Costa Blanca (Moraira, Jávea, Calpe, Benissa, Altea, Benitachell)
- Villas and single-family houses will continue to be the most in demand, many families and investors are looking for large spaces, with coastal surroundings, views or tranquillity; the supply-demand imbalance underpins their value.
- Less room for discounts and aggressive negotiations: those looking for bargains could find themselves with little supply, stable prices or even rising.
- High demand for second homes or investment by international buyers , price stability and potential appreciation can attract buyers from northern Europe or other regions, which increases pressure on the market.
- Revaluation of existing homes properties in good condition, privileged locations or possibilities of renovation can increase in value, since the new supply does not meet demand.
✅ Strategic advice for investors, buyers and owners on the Costa Blanca
- If you are looking to buy, act as soon as possible: the expectation is that prices will continue to rise.
- Consider the purchase of homes with potential for renovation or modernisation, as the revaluation can exceed new construction.
- If you sell, this moment is favorable: there is real demand, and the supply-demand ratio gives you an advantage.
- If you invest in rent, expect continued demand, pressure on housing can keep rental prices on the rise.
- Plan with a medium-term vision: although no one rules out occasional corrections, the structural trend indicates stability or sustained rise.
🧭 Conclusion
Andrés González's statements reinforce what we have already been seeing in the market: housing in Spain and in particular in listed areas such as the Costa Blanca maintains a high resistance to falls, due to sustained demand and insufficient supply. For those who know Moraira, Jávea, Calpe, Benitachell, Benissa or Altea well, this is not a surprise, but a confirmation of the value of their investment.
