Thinking of buying a home in Spain?

With rising demand, flexible rental options, and strong economic recovery, investing in Spanish real estate continues to make sense — especially in regions like the Costa Blanca.

Here’s why smart buyers are still investing in Spain in 2025:

1. High Demand, Limited Supply

Spain still faces a housing shortage, especially in popular coastal areas. Combined with strong international interest — particularly from buyers in Northern Europe — this keeps property values on an upward trend.

Good to know: The Costa Blanca region continues to attract retirees, digital nomads, and investors seeking holiday homes, meaning long-term value is expected to grow.

2. Rental Potential — Even Without a Tourist Licence

Did you know you can rent out your Spanish property without a tourist licence, as long as the stay exceeds a certain period?

In many areas — like the Costa Blanca — mid-term or seasonal rentals (11+ or 30+ days, depending on the municipality) are allowed without a licence.

That means:

• You can’t advertise on Airbnb or Booking without registration
• But you can use alternative channels like:
• Local rental agents (like us at Select Estates)
• Private Facebook groups
• Your own network and word-of-mouth

Bonus: In areas like Costa Blanca South, tourist licences are still being granted, making it one of the more flexible zones for short-stay rentals.

Important: all rental income must be declared to the Spanish tax authorities.

3. Favourable Market Conditions & Growth

While prices have risen since 2020, Spain remains affordable compared to many other EU countries. Add to that:

• Strong tourism recovery
• EU recovery funds fueling infrastructure projects
• A rising interest in sustainable second homes

This means the Spanish economy — and by extension the property market — is still growing.

4. An International Market

Spain attracts buyers from all over the world. In regions like the Costa Blanca, it's easy to find:

• English-speaking estate agents
• Legal and notary services in your language
• Expats who can share their buying experiences

This makes the process much less daunting — even if you’re buying from abroad.

5. A Buyer’s Story – Sophie & Tom from the Netherlands

“We wanted a safe investment that we could enjoy part-time and rent out the rest of the year. Roel from Select Estates guided us through every step — from viewings to legal advice. Now, we own a beautiful apartment in Moraira that we rent out seasonally — without the need for a tourist licence!”
