Home prices on the Costa Blanca in 2026: analysis, trends, and investment opportunities

The outlook for 2026: housing prices will keep going up

If you’re thinking about buying a house on the Costa Blanca, investing, or selling, there’s one reality worth keeping very much in mind: everything points to prices continuing to rise in 2026.

Recently, the economist Andrés González stated emphatically that:

“Housing prices won’t drop—not now, and not for years to come—certainly not in the next few years”

His analysis is based on a structural reality: demand continues to be far higher than the available supply, making any broad-based fall in prices unlikely.

For those of us who work in the Costa Blanca—buyers, investors, and owners—these statements aren’t just background noise; they’re a clear signal of how the market is heading.

Next, we look at what this scenario means for areas such as Moraira, Jávea, Calpe, Benissa, Altea, and Benitachell—and how you can take advantage of market opportunities.

📈 Why won’t prices fall?

According to experts, the main reason is the imbalance between supply and demand:

• High domestic and international demand.

• A shortage of available housing, especially in premium areas.

• Growing investor interest in properties with income potential.

• Tourism demand and second-home demand in coastal areas.

In addition, the macroeconomic data from 2025 confirms that housing prices in Spain are still rising strongly.

This environment turns housing into an investment asset with high downside resistance, especially in areas with:

✔ Established tourism
✔ Foreign demand
✔ Good connectivity
✔ Exclusive surroundings

And the Costa Blanca meets all of these conditions.

🌊 What this means for the Costa Blanca

1. Villas and detached houses will remain the most in demand

Many families and investors are looking for:

• Spacious living areas

• A swimming pool and garden

• Sea views

• Privacy and peace and quiet

A shortage of this kind of property reinforces their value.

2. Less room for negotiation

Those looking for “bargains” will find:

• Less choice

• More firm pricing

• Greater competition among buyers

3. Higher international demand

Buyers from Northern Europe continue to bet on towns such as Moraira or Jávea as a second home or as an investment.

This increases pressure on the market.

4. Appreciation of existing homes

Properties in good locations, that have been renovated, or have the potential for modernization may see a strong appreciation, especially given the limited supply of new-build housing.

✅ Strategic advice for buyers, investors, and owners

If you want to buy

Act as soon as possible.
The forecast is that prices will keep rising.

If you want to invest

Consider properties with potential for:

• Renovation

• Holiday rentals

• Long-term rentals

Your return on investment can be higher than with new-build properties.

If you want to sell

This is a favorable time:

• Strong real demand

• Lower supply

• Better positioning for negotiation

If you invest in rentals

Pressure on housing may help keep rents rising.

Plan for the medium and long term

Even if there are occasional corrections, the general trend remains one of stability or sustained growth.

🧭 Conclusion

Andrés González’s statements reinforce what we already see every day in the market:

Housing in Spain, and especially on the Costa Blanca, maintains a high resistance to falling thanks to sustained demand and insufficient supply.

For those who know areas like Moraira, Benissa, Calpe, Benitachell, or Altea well, this isn’t a surprise—it’s a confirmation of the value of investing in the area.
