Are property prices in Torrevieja rising?
Yes. Prices have risen 14,4% over the past year. The real sale price (our index) is 2.036 €/m² on average, from 1.728 €/m² in the Centro to 2.390 €/m² in the most expensive areas; in the listings the asking price is 26% higher. That said, the outlook for 2026 is that the increase will ease towards a pace of 2% to 6% per year.
Prices rise for two reasons that reinforce each other: very strong international demand and a supply that is not growing at the same pace. As long as there are more people looking for a home than homes for sale, prices hold.
The 14,4% rise is for the past year, not a promise about the future. Everything points to the market entering a more stable phase, with more moderate growth, of the order of 2% to 6% per year depending on the area and the type of property, rather than another big jump. It is a trend, not a guarantee: no one can assure you how much your home will appreciate, and if someone promises you a figure, be wary.
Always look at the €/m² for your area, not just the municipal average: each neighbourhood moves at its own pace within that 2.036 €/m² average.
