Why the Costa del Sol Remains Europe's Most Resilient Property Market

DOM Properties Team·3 August 2026

While other European markets have softened, Marbella and Estepona continue to attract record investment from UK, Scandinavian and Middle Eastern buyers.

A Market That Keeps Attracting Buyers

While property markets across much of Europe have cooled over the past year, the Costa del Sol has continued to see strong, steady demand — particularly in Marbella and Estepona.

Who's Buying

The strongest demand continues to come from UK buyers, alongside growing interest from Scandinavian and Middle Eastern investors drawn by the region's climate, infrastructure, and quality of life.

What This Means For You

For buyers, this resilience means well-chosen properties in prime locations tend to hold their value well. For sellers, it means genuine, motivated demand remains strong for exceptional homes.

If you'd like to understand how current market conditions apply to your specific situation, our team is happy to talk through it — no pressure, just an honest conversation.
