With good property prices, fantastic weather, and endless golf courses, it's no wonder many home buyers flock to the Costa del Sol.
Property prices in Spain have always been much lower compared to other European countries. The market suffered during this last financial crisis, but we are finally seeing improvement with the abundance of property developments popping up on the Costa del Sol.
Whether construction was halted during the recession and is now being finished, or new projects are breaking ground, this new boom in property development on the Costa del Sol is the ultimate sign the market is finally picking up again.
Estepona is rapidly growing amongst international home owners. In the past, it's been seen as Marbella's poorer cousin. However, it's quickly becoming known as one of the Costa's hot-spots due to the new ambitious mayor, who has given the town a makeover and is still making further improvements. There are talks of designating 50 million square metres (over 12,300 acres) of land at the back of the town for luxury villas and golf courses. With the boom in development, Estepona is being put on the map as a high-end coastal resort.
Most of the growth on the Costa del Sol is due to international buyers, many of which are from Scandinavia and the United Kingdom.
With this rise in new property development, we take a look at some of the new homes we have in our property portfolio…
