Costa Tropical Property Market Report – July 2025

Are prices falling—or is this the start of something else?
 
 There’s been a shift in the Granada property market, and sellers are asking the same question:
 “Is now the right time to sell?”
 
 We’ve just seen a 2% drop in resale prices in the Granada province—a small but clear change after a few years of consistent growth. It’s not dramatic. But it is a signal.
 
 Markets move in cycles. And while no one can predict the future, we do know this:
 If you’re thinking of selling, waiting for the “perfect” moment rarely ends well.
 
 Let’s unpack what’s happening and what it means for owners on the Costa Tropical and beyond.
 
 What’s driving the change?
 Price dips don’t happen in isolation. Here’s what we’re seeing behind the scenes:
 
 – Seller hesitation. Global uncertainty and economic headlines are making owners nervous. Many are delaying decisions, hoping things will look “better” in six months.
 – Reduced listings. Across Granada, the number of new listings has dropped to around 60–70 per week. That’s down from a typical 100–120.
 – Strong buyer demand. Despite fewer properties coming to market, buyer enquiries remain high—especially for homes that are priced and presented properly.
 
 👉 In short: fewer homes, plenty of buyers, and a pricing pause.
 
 Serious buyers are still out there—just ask our inbox
 
 We’ve had four properties this past month receive multiple offers. Two of them?
 Sold before they even hit the portals.
 
 Why? Pre-launch marketing to our private client base. We’re not just relying on listing websites—we’re targeting the right buyers before the public ever sees the property.
 
 See how our pre-launch strategy works: https://holaproperties.com/articles/
 
 And these weren’t just any homes. They were:
 – New to market 
 – Professionally marketed 
 – Priced correctly from day one 
 
 These are the three ingredients that still drive fast results—even in a shifting market.
 
 Presentation matters more than ever
 
 We say it a lot, but it keeps proving true: buyers fall in love with feelings, not facts.
 That means:
 
 – Crisp photography 
 – Quality video walkthroughs 
 – No clutter or confusion in the visuals 
 
 We’ve said it in our recent blog on why your listing photos aren’t getting views: https://holaproperties.com/articles/
 
 Homes that look polished get viewed. And homes that get viewed get sold.
 
 The Costa Tropical still has energy—and surprises
 
 Down on the coast, demand hasn’t slowed. But we’re seeing two very specific trends:
 
 1. The eco-mortgage mini boom 
 There’s an ongoing buzz around eco mortgages in Andalusia—especially for:
 – Buyers under 35 
 – Families currently renting 
 – Buyers with low deposits (as little as €1,000) 
 
 The problem? Most people still don’t know they exist.
 Even fewer realise that they could already be paying more in rent than they would on a mortgage.

 2. The hidden paperwork trap 
 Just because your property is on the coast—or you used a lawyer when buying—doesn’t mean your paperwork is in order.
 
 We’re seeing increasing numbers of transactions delayed (or blocked entirely) because of:
 
 – Incorrect or missing registrations 
 – Outdated property descriptions 
 – Legal inconsistencies from years past 
 
 And here’s the kicker: lawyers today wouldn’t accept what some approved just a few years ago.
 The bar has been raised.
 
 So if you’re unsure whether your paperwork is airtight, talk to us before listing. It could save you months of wasted time later.
 
 What this all means for sellers
 
 Yes, the market is shifting. But that’s not bad news.
 
 It’s an opportunity—for those who move with the market, not against it.
 
 So what can you do?
 – Don’t assume waiting will help. Prices may plateau. Or they may not. 
 – Get a professional valuation—not based on listing prices, but on what’s actually selling. 
 – Check your paperwork now, not when you have a buyer. 
 – Use marketing that works: video, photography, pre-launch campaigns. 
 
 There are still serious buyers out there. The question is—will your property catch their eye?
