Costa Blanca offers key factors that drive foreign demand:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1383\" data-end=\"1586\">\n<li data-section-id=\"fptelq\" data-start=\"1383\" data-end=\"1423\">Mediterranean climate all year round<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"14wvozo\" data-start=\"1424\" data-end=\"1448\">High quality of life<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1ndigwc\" data-start=\"1449\" data-end=\"1500\">Wide range

data-start=\"1541\" data-end=\"1586\">Established and liquid real estate market<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1588\" data-end=\"1675\">These factors make the area a top choice for both second homes and property investment.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"w4mfi2\" data-start=\"1682\" data-end=\"1726\">Foreign demand continues to grow in Spain<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1728\" data-end=\"1829\">In 2025, international buyers completed around 97,500 transactions, reaching a new historical record.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1831\" data-end=\"1962\">This represents 13.8% of all property transactions, reinforcing the importance of foreign buyers in the Spanish real estate market.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1964\" data-end=\"2115\">Although the percentage share has slightly decreased compared to previous years, the total volume continues to grow, confirming the strength of demand.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1pxdzi8\" data-start=\"2122\" data-end=\"2176\">Nationalities <a

international market is still led by European buyers, although it is becoming increasingly diversified.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2287\" data-end=\"2306\">Main nationalities:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2308\" data-end=\"2424\">\n<li data-section-id=\"d4yrc4\" data-start=\"2308\" data-end=\"2327\">British (7.97%)<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"inlpoh\" data-start=\"2328\" data-end=\"2346\">German

(5.11%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2426\" data-end=\"2573\">There is also a clear geographical preference, with British buyers particularly active in the Valencian Community, reinforcing Alicante\u2019s position.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"toed9i\" data-start=\"2580\" data-end=\"2628\">What type of property foreign buyers purchase<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2630\" data-end=\"2671\">International buyers show clear patterns:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2673\" data-end=\"2837\">\n<li data-section-id=\"15yhrbq\" data-start=\"2673\" data-end=\"2716\">Strong preference

data-section-id=\"11m9wg3\" data-start=\"2790\" data-end=\"2837\">Smaller properties (typically second homes)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2839\" data-end=\"2914\">This reflects a buyer profile focused on both investment and lifestyle use.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"14g30w4\" data-start=\"2921\" data-end=\"2963\">Growth in high-value property purchases<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2965\" data-end=\"3042\">The increase in property prices is also reflected in foreign buyer behaviour.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3044\" data-end=\"3052\">In 2025:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"3054\" data-end=\"3123\">\n<li data-section-id=\"11fnmu8\" data-start=\"3054\" data-end=\"3082\">Average price: \u20ac2,284\/m\u00b2<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"p0lrp3\" data-start=\"3083\"
