Gecko Towers:
Is now the right time to buy a property in the Marbella region of the Costa del Sol?
The Marbella region of the Costa del Sol is a fantastic place to invest in property, and 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for the real estate market. Sustained Growth is expected, with property prices forecast to rise by 5-8% in established areas of Marbella including San Pedro de Alcantara – recently described as a “hidden gem” by a UK TV property specialist – while Benahavis and Estepona are tipped for rises.

Several factors contribute to this growth:
Limited Inventory: Properties are selling quickly, especially in sought-after locations, which means you’ll need to act decisively to secure your dream home.
A number of older properties are being refurbished to very high standards. There is a clear division between the glass and steel, more modernist, villas and the more traditional Andalucia style properties.
International Demand: Buyers from the UK, Germany, Scandinavia, and the US are increasingly drawn to the Costa del Sol’s appeal, making it a great time to invest.
Luxury Developments: Exclusive and branded residences are attracting high-end buyers and investors.
Sustainability and Wellness: Eco-friendly homes with wellness-focused amenities are in high demand, making properties with these features a great investment opportunity.
