Key insights into the Marbella property market based on current data:
House Prices at Record Levels: The average asking price in Marbella reached €5,162/m² in May 2025, a new all-time high representing a 9.8% year-on-year increase. Verified sale prices from Tinsa confirm an average of €3,421/m² across all transactions, with Marbella sitting 29% above the Málaga average. Property prices in the Nagüeles and Milla de Oro area command around €6,422/m², while Marbella East neighbourhoods such as El Rosario and Las Chapas recorded 14.1% growth in twelve months, demonstrating the breadth and momentum of the market across all areas.
What It Costs to Buy Property in Marbella: When buying property in Marbella, buyers should budget approximately 10 to 15% above the purchase price to cover all associated taxes and fees. For resale properties in Andalusia, the Property Transfer Tax (ITP) is fixed at 7% of the purchase price. For new build properties purchased directly from a developer, buyers pay 10% VAT plus 1.2% stamp duty. Additional costs include legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price, notary and land registry fees averaging €1,000 to €3,000, and bank transfer charges. Wealth Tax in Andalusia is currently 100% subsidised, representing a significant advantage for buyers compared to other Spanish regions.
A Market Driven by International Demand: Foreign buyers account for over 60% of Marbella property purchases, with British buyers leading at 13% of the foreign market share, followed by Scandinavian, Dutch, German, and increasingly American buyers. The end of Spain’s Golden Visa programme in April 2025 has had minimal impact on the Marbella luxury real estate market, with buyers continuing to be motivated primarily by lifestyle, capital preservation, and long-term investment value rather than residency incentives.
New Build vs Resale: Resale properties represent 86.4% of all purchases in the greater Marbella area, offering buyers a wider selection and more immediate availability. New build properties command a premium of 25 to 35% over comparable resale homes but offer contemporary design, energy efficiency, and resort-style amenities as standard. With over 170 active new development projects in the Marbella area, buyers have strong options across both segments across Golf Valley, Las Brisas, La Cerquilla, RÃo Real, and Reserva de Marbella.
Crinoa specialises in luxury real estate across the Costa del Sol and wider AndalucÃa. Whether you're searching for a villa with panoramic sea views, a contemporary apartment steps from the beach, or a secluded estate in the hills, explore our curated property selections across these sought-after locations.

Marbella’s most sought-after areas each offer a distinct character and lifestyle. For Marbella’s prestigious Golden Mile and Milla de Oro prestige, Marbella Club, Jardines de AndalucÃa, and Palacetes Los Belvederes offer contemporary luxury within walking distance of the beach and town centre. For golf resort living with world-class golf courses, Golf Valley, La Cerquilla, Las Brisas, and the heart of Nueva AndalucÃa are unrivalled. For beachfront living with direct access to beautiful beaches, Los Monteros, Marbella East, El Rosario, and Mijas Costa offer exceptional options. For privacy and mountain views in exclusive gated communities, La Zagaleta, La Reserva, Vilas12, and Reserva de Marbella provide rare opportunities in some of the most sought-after areas on the Costa del Sol.
Understanding the full cost of buying property in Marbella is essential before beginning your property search. For resale properties, the Property Transfer Tax (ITP) in Andalusia is fixed at 7% of the purchase price. For new build properties, buyers pay 10% VAT plus 1.2% stamp duty. Additional costs include legal fees of approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, notary fees of around €1,750, and land registry fees averaging €1,000. Buyers should budget a total of 10 to 15% above the purchase price to cover all taxes and associated costs. Wealth Tax in Andalusia is currently 100% subsidised, which is a significant advantage over other Spanish regions. Non-resident owners also pay an annual Non-Resident Income Tax based on the cadastral value of the property, even if it is not rented out.
While using a lawyer is not legally mandatory in Spain, it is strongly recommended for all property purchases in Marbella. An independent solicitor ensures full due diligence is carried out on the property, verifies there are no outstanding debts or legal issues, reviews all contracts, and represents your interests throughout the buying process. Legal fees typically amount to approximately 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Given the complexity of buying property in a foreign country and the significant sums involved in Marbella’s luxury real estate market, professional legal representation provides essential peace of mind and protection.

Crinoa offers virtual tour options for selected properties across our portfolio, allowing international buyers to explore living areas, square meters, and property features in detail before travelling to Marbella. This is particularly useful for buyers based outside Spain who wish to shortlist properties before committing to a viewing trip.
