\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEver since Marbella became a holiday hotspot amongst the rich and famous in the 1950s, and package holidays arrived in the 1970s, the Costa del Sol has been a favourite amongst all types of international visitors and buyers.\r\n\r\nOver the years, as new builds on the Costa del Sol have appeared, towns have developed and infrastructure put in place, the number of foreign buyers has grown. Today, in 2025, the coast is seeing more international buyers than ever before, from the UK, Scandinavian, Middle East, Morocco and more recently from the USA. Whether their dream homes are traditional villas in Marbella<\/a> or new apartments in Estepona<\/a>, the market continues to be red hot.\r\n\r\n \r\n

12% of foreign sale in M\u00e1laga <\/strong><\/h3>\r\nThe phenomenon isn\u2019t unique to the Costa del Sol, quarterly figures provided by the Colegio de Registradores show that over 93,000 property transactions throughout Spain, were made by foreign buyers, a 6.4% increase on the previous year (2023).\u00a0 International buyers account for 32.4% of property sales on the Costa del Sol and 12% of all property purchases in Spain.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Which nationalities are investing in real estate on the Costa del Sol?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nStatistics for Q4 2024 from the same source, shows that UK buyers represent the largest percentage of purchases (8.5%), Germans (6.67%), Dutch (5.91%), followed by Moroccans, French, Romanians and Italian. Even though the British are still the predominant market, there has been a substantial drop from 24% since Brexit in 2016.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, there has been an uptick in the number of US buyers (1,550 sales) who for one reason or another have decided to look for property for sale on the Costa del Sol, with a view to relocating from the USA. Middle Eastern investors\u2019 interest in the premium end of the property market continues to be strong, particularly in areas such as La\u00a0 Zagaleta, Benahav\u00eds and the Golden Triangle, that offer the requisite features: the right location, level of luxury, privacy and security.\u00a0 Conversely, on the flipside, the number of French buyers has dropped off slightly (These figures are based on the data in the Land Registrars quarterly reports, as reported by Idealista.com).\r\n\r\n \r\n

Non-resident foreign buyers<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nAs compared to both foreign and Spanish resident buyers, non-resident international buyers are more interested in high-value properties. British, German, French, Belgian and Dutch account for 48% of the purchases of premium property on the Costa del Sol and throughout the rest of Spain. Property Portal Idealista.com confirms that the appetite for luxury property is robust, with 77% of demand focused on luxury detached homes priced at \u20ac1.5 million and above, with premium apartments and penthouses accounting for the remaining 23%.\r\n
