How Much Is My Property Worth on the Costa Blanca? A Zone-by-Zone Valuation Guide 2026

One question comes up more than almost any other when property owners start thinking about selling: what is my place actually worth? It sounds simple. The answer is anything but. Property values on the Costa Blanca depend on a mix of factors that go well beyond square metres and build year, and if you have run your address through an online estimator on Idealista or Rightmove, there is something you should know before you decide anything.

Why online estimates miss the mark here

Automated valuation tools pull from aggregated data across a province or region. In the resale market around Orihuela Costa and Torrevieja, where two urbanisations sitting 500 metres apart can have completely different price per square metre figures, those estimates routinely land between 10% and 20% below or above the real market price. We have seen cases where an automated tool valued a La Zenia apartment at €185,000 and the owner sold it for €215,000 within six weeks of listing at the right price.

A reliable valuation comes from comparing your property against sales that have actually closed recently, in the same urbanisation or in directly comparable ones within the same zone.

The factors that move the price most

After decades of selling property along this stretch of coast, the variables that have the biggest impact on final sale price are consistent, even if their weight shifts depending on the zone and buyer profile:

• Floor level and views. A penthouse with sea views in La Zenia can command 25% to 40% more than the identical ground-floor apartment without views. In urbanisations like Zeniamar or Bellavista in Cabo Roig, this gap is among the widest on the Costa Blanca.
• Condition and finish. A fully renovated property with a modern kitchen and bathrooms can justify a difference of €15,000 to €30,000 over a comparable unrenovated one. International buyers pay that premium when the property is move-in ready.
• Communal pool and gardens. In urbanisations with well-maintained gardens and a clean pool, average prices per square metre run 8% to 12% higher than in similar complexes with neglected communal areas.
• Garage space. In Torrevieja city and in compact urbanisations like Los Dolses, a parking space adds between €8,000 and €15,000 to the sale price.
• Community fees. High monthly fees (above €150/month) put off buyers with tighter budgets. It is a factor we always account for when setting the asking price.

Current price ranges by zone: what we are seeing in 2026

These are the price-per-square-metre ranges we are working with right now, based on completed transactions over the past twelve months:

• La Zenia and Playa Flamenca: €1,800–€2,400/m². La Zenia Boulevard continues to attract Scandinavian and Belgian buyers, and demand holds steady even outside peak season.
• Cabo Roig and Las Colinas Golf: €2,500–€4,000/m². The premium end of Orihuela Costa. Las Colinas consistently outperforms the rest of the area thanks to its gated resort format and award-winning golf course.
• Villamartín and Los Dolses: €1,600–€2,200/m². High liquidity zone. Properties priced correctly here sell fast.
• Torrevieja city: €1,200–€1,800/m². There is a meaningful gap between the old town area and the northern coastal urbanisations like Los Balcones.
• Torre de la Horadada and Mil Palmeras: €1,500–€2,200/m². Both sit within Pilar de la Horadada municipality and are seeing growing demand from northern European buyers seeking quiet beach living.
• Campoamor and Dehesa de Campoamor: €1,900–€2,800/m². The southern end of Orihuela Costa holds its appeal through the combination of nature, a marina, and golf.

What a professional valuation actually involves

A serious valuation is not a five-minute exercise. The process we follow at Bennecke has three steps.

First, we analyse completed sales from the past six months in the same urbanisation or in directly comparable ones. We look at the price recorded in the deeds, not the asking price on a portal.

Second, we visit the property in person to assess its condition, orientation, real views and any characteristic that online tools cannot capture: noise levels, access, the actual state of the communal pool, the quality of the complex.

Third, we cross that data with live demand from our buyer database. We know which buyer profiles are actively looking in each zone and what they are prepared to pay right now. That is what separates a price that generates viewings from one that generates a sale.

Why getting the price right from day one matters

A property listed 10% above its real market value takes twice or three times as long to sell. Every month it sits on the market without an offer makes buyers suspicious: why has it been there so long? When the price eventually drops, that history works against the seller in negotiations.

Starting with the correct price is the most profitable decision a seller can make. At Bennecke we have been guiding vendors through this market for nearly four decades, and the results are consistent: over 85% of our listings sell within the first three months when the asking price is properly calibrated from the start.
