Selling in Orihuela Costa, honestly
From the apartments around Playa Flamenca and the premium urbanisations near La Zenia Boulevard, to the sea-view chalets of Punta Prima and the front-line homes along Cabo Roig — Orihuela Costa is where we work every day. It's also where most of our buyers, by nationality, are actively looking.
The honest version: well-priced apartments in this area sell in 4–10 weeks. Sea-view homes in Punta Prima and Cabo Roig often sell faster. Overpriced listings sit for six months — and then the seller accepts the reduction we would have advised on day one. Our job is to spare you that round trip.

The local edge
Orihuela Costa is not one market — it's a dozen micro-markets stacked next to each other. The behaviour of buyers shifts by 200 metres. Pricing the same apartment the same way across all of them is how listings die quietly. Here's what actually moves homes here.
Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and Finnish buyers cluster from late January through mid-April, and again in September. They research thoroughly before they fly — €/m², orientation, distance to beach, community fees. List in mid-January and you ride the wave; list in July to Scandinavians and you wait six weeks for the next one.
Dutch buyers tend to arrive November–March, often with a longer-stay or near-retirement angle. They favour detached homes around Campoamor and Cabo Roig, and ground-floor apartments with terraces. Belgians follow the same pattern but are more willing on inland golf locations like Las Colinas.
A genuine, unobstructed sea view from the main living area adds 15–25% over an inland-facing equivalent. A 'sea glimpse' from the terrace corner adds 4–7%. We measure the view from the sofa, not from the marketing copy — buyers do the same on the second viewing.
South and south-west facing terraces sell faster, full stop. North-facing apartments need either a price adjustment or a strong compensating feature (sea view, larger m², ground-floor garden). Buyers from Northern Europe have specifically come for the sun — they won't compromise on orientation.
Apartments within an 8–10 minute walk of La Zenia Boulevard quietly carry a 10–15% premium per m². The Boulevard is the single biggest lifestyle anchor in southern Costa Blanca — buyers will pay for it without naming it. If your home is within walking distance, that has to be in the headline, not the small print.
Investor buyers — UK, Belgian, Northern Spanish — look for two-bed apartments under €200k with a tourist licence already in place or easily obtainable. They run yield maths, not lifestyle maths. If your apartment fits that band, we market it differently: floorplans first, beach distance in the headline, photography styled minimal.
Las Colinas, Lomas de Cabo Roig and the Las Filipinas pipeline mean buyers always have a fresh-build comparable in mind. Resale homes within 5 minutes of these need to compete on either honest pricing, a renovated finish, or a location advantage the new-build can't match (sea view, walkability, plot size).
Furnished and turnkey wins second-home Northern European buyers (~65% of our pipeline). Unfurnished appeals to investors and Spanish buyers planning a renovation. We position the same home both ways depending on who's viewing — same listing, different language in the description and viewing prep.
A renovated 2-bed in Playa Flamenca or La Zenia can sell at 15–20% higher €/m² than an unrenovated equivalent, and disappear in 4–6 weeks vs 4–6 months. Northern European buyers won't take on Spanish renovation projects remotely. If you've upgraded kitchen and bathroom, that goes in the title of the listing.
Villamartin, Las Ramblas, Campoamor and Las Colinas operate on a different cycle — driven by retirees, golfing groups and the calendar of European amateur tours. We price these homes with golf-course proximity, not metro proximity, as the primary axis. Course-view homes especially have a thin, very specific buyer pool — you price for that, not for the wider area.
Buyers measure distance to beach in walking minutes, not kilometres. Under 10 minutes is its own price tier. 10–20 minutes is a different tier. 20+ minutes is a different market entirely (and a different photography style). We put the walking time in the headline because buyers will Google Maps it before they message you.
A buyer choosing between your resale and a new-build is comparing two different products, not two prices. Resale wins on price/m², mature urbanisation, established community and immediate move-in. New-build wins on warranty, energy efficiency and modern layout. We position your home against the right competitor, not the wrong one.

Seller psychology
These are the seven concerns we hear most often, in the order we hear them. Here's how MOVR handles each one — and the proof to back it.
We give you a real comparables sheet at the valuation and tell you the price the market will move at. If we can't price your home honestly, we say no to the listing.
Before you sign, you receive a full written cost sheet: 3% retención, plusvalía, capital gains, notary share, community fee proration. No surprises on completion day.
Written weekly update plus same-day feedback after every viewing — even when nothing is happening. You also see live portal stats in your seller dashboard.
Editorial-grade photography, film walkthrough, drone, floorplan and 360° tour — shot by our in-house team, not outsourced. Same standard whether you're at €175k or €750k.
30-day soft exclusivity, then you choose whether to continue. No multi-month lock-in. If we're not delivering, you leave with no penalty.
We sell, negotiate and close in English, Spanish, Swedish, Norwegian, Dutch, German and Flemish. Your buyer's offer paperwork is drafted in their language — and the conversation at the notary happens in the same one.

Questions sellers ask us
Realistically, well-priced apartments in Orihuela Costa, Playa Flamenca and La Zenia sell within 4–10 weeks. Sea-view chalets in Punta Prima and Cabo Roig often go faster — we've closed a sea-view villa in 3 days when the pricing matched the market. Overpriced listings can sit for 6+ months before the seller accepts a reduction; that's the conversation we have on day one so it doesn't happen.
Yes, when the home is priced honestly. Swedish, Norwegian and Danish buyers research thoroughly — they compare €/m², orientation, distance to beach and community fees before they fly in. If your asking price matches what the data supports, offers usually come within 3–5% of asking. If you're 15% above market, they simply skip the viewing.
Three main items: the 3% retención (withheld at notary, partially refundable), plusvalía municipal (paid to the town hall, based on land value increase), and capital gains tax on the actual profit. Plus your portion of the notary fees and any outstanding community fees up to completion day. We send every seller a full cost sheet before signing anything — see our guide for the exact breakdown.
On Orihuela Costa, furnished sells faster to second-home buyers from Northern Europe — they want to fly in and move in. Empty apartments appeal more to investors and Spanish buyers who plan to renovate. Our rule: if the furniture is modern and neutral, leave it; if it's tired 90s wicker, strip it back. We advise on this in person during the valuation.
Significantly. A renovated 2-bed in Playa Flamenca or La Zenia can sell 30–60% faster than an unrenovated equivalent — and at 15–20% higher €/m². Northern European buyers especially are no longer willing to take on Spanish renovation projects remotely. If you've upgraded the bathroom and kitchen, that's worth headline space in the listing.
We work on a 30-day soft exclusivity that you can choose to extend. We're confident that within 30 days you'll see a clear difference in the quality of viewings — and most sellers continue with us by choice, not because they're locked in. If you'd rather not commit, we'll still show you what we'd do; we just won't shoot the home until you're ready.
End to end. From the in-person valuation, through photography, film, drone, floorplans, listing on five portals, vetting buyers, organising viewings (in your buyer's language), to negotiating the offer, drafting the reservation contract, and accompanying you to the notary on completion day. You get one point of contact throughout — no handovers.
A written weekly update with portal stats, viewing feedback and any market changes — even when there's nothing to report. Plus a same-day message after every viewing. You can also see live activity in your seller dashboard. The 'estate agent who goes silent for three weeks' problem is the single biggest complaint we hear from sellers who switched to us — we built our process specifically around fixing it.
Yes. We negotiate and close in Swedish, Norwegian, Dutch, German and Flemish — natively. About 70% of our buyers on Orihuela Costa are Northern European. If your buyer prefers Swedish, your offer paperwork and notary explanation will be in Swedish; same for Dutch or Norwegian.
Success fee only — you pay nothing until completion at the notary. No upfront photography fees, no listing fees, no marketing fees. We tell you the exact percentage in person at the valuation; it's competitive with the better local agencies and substantially below the franchise model.
