New-build price index — Costa del Sol 2026

What 632 new developments actually cost

This page is built from our own portfolio: every new-build development we currently list on the Costa del Sol, with the lowest advertised price for each one. It is not a market average from a portal, and it is not an estimate. It is what developers are asking, development by development, as of October 2026.

Read the median as the middle starting price — half the developments in a town start below that figure and half above. It says nothing about the price of an individual home, only about where each town begins.

Apartments are the entry level across most of the coast — 31 of the 632 developments start below €300,000.

What this does not tell you

A starting price is the cheapest unit in a development, and the cheapest unit is often the one with the worst view, the smallest terrace or the least privacy. Two towns can share a median and still feel nothing alike to live in. Use these figures to work out which towns are worth your time, then look at the individual developments — that is where the real decision is made.

Prices and availability change without notice. Every figure here is the developer’s advertised starting price at the time of writing, not a valuation and not an offer. Confirm anything that matters to your decision before you commit.
