Alicante closed 2025 with 53,385 registered home sales, up 2.9% on the previous year. That figure consolidates the province as Spain’s third-largest property market, behind only Madrid and Barcelona — ahead of Valencia, Málaga and the island capitals. It is not a one-off statistic: it confirms a trend we have been seeing on the ground for years.
Prices are following suit. The province’s average price reached €2,764/m² in April 2026, 12.2% higher than a year earlier and a new all-time high. Three engines keep pushing: international demand (nearly half of all purchases in the province are signed by a foreign buyer), domestic demand arriving from Madrid and northern Spain, and a genuine shortage of buildable land along the coast, which limits new construction exactly where demand is strongest.
Industry reports place Benidorm, Altea, Calpe and Benissa among the most dynamic and safest markets to invest in Spain, and forecasts for the rest of 2026 point to further increases at a more moderate pace. For homeowners the reading is simple: this is an exceptional market window, but making the most of it means listing at the right price from day one.
