Methodology
How the MOVR Market Insights dataset is built.
Compiled by the MOVR transaction desk
Every figure published on this page is drawn from MOVR's own verified accepted-offer transactions across Costa Blanca South. The dataset currently covers 300+ tracked sales since June 2023and is refreshed each reporting period.
Not every completed MOVR sale carries a fully verified transaction dataset. To protect data quality, the published insights focus on the 300+ sales with structured price, area and property-type fields rather than the broader 350+ completed transactions.
Averages and medians reflect the MOVR transaction mix and the segments we are most active in — primarily resale apartments, townhouses, villas and bungalows in the €120k–€650k range. They are directional, not a substitute for a like-for-like valuation of a specific property, and should not be read as a market-wide index.
Smaller sub-markets (Cabo Roig, Campoamor, Los Dolses, Dream Hills, El Raso, Guardamar) are tracked but currently have insufficient transaction volume for reliable standalone reporting and are rolled up into the Orihuela Costa report where applicable.
Data currently includes verified MOVR transaction records through 20 May 2026. Reviewed September 2026 · next scheduled data refresh August 2026.

For sellers
What this means if you're thinking of selling.
Costa Blanca South pricing varies meaningfully by sub-market, property type and even by orientation within the same urbanisation. The averages on this page are useful as directional context — they are not a valuation of your specific property, and a one-bedroom apartment in Punta Prima and a south-facing villa in Villamartin live in very different micro-markets.
Buyer demand also differs noticeably across nationalities and segments. Scandinavian and Dutch buyers tend to concentrate in certain corridors, British and Belgian demand sits elsewhere, and pricing strategy needs to reflect who is actually transacting in your area at the moment of listing.
In practice, the two factors that most affect outcome on Costa Blanca South resale are presentation (photography, staging, listing copy) and an honest opening price set against verified comparable sales — not against aspirational portal asking prices. A proper valuation triangulates those inputs against the figures on this page.
