\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMarbella remains one of Southern Europe’s most international luxury property markets. But buyers looking at Marbella often extend their search into neighbouring Benahav\u00eds and Estepona, creating a wider prime residential market with very different locations, property types and lifestyles.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The latest official transaction data shows both high property values and strong international demand.<\/p>

In Marbella<\/strong>, 4,037 residential transactions were recorded during the latest 12-month period available, with an average transaction value of \u20ac788,970<\/strong> and an average price of \u20ac4,665\/m\u00b2<\/strong>. By May 2026, the monthly average had reached \u20ac5,212\/m\u00b2<\/strong>.<\/p>

Benahav\u00eds<\/strong> sits at an even higher price point, with an average transaction value of \u20ac993,891<\/strong> and an average property size of 219 m\u00b2. The average price reached \u20ac5,261\/m\u00b2 in May 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>

In Estepona<\/strong>, the average transaction value was \u20ac434,200<\/strong>, while the average price reached \u20ac4,235\/m\u00b2 in May 2026<\/strong>, compared with \u20ac3,042\/m\u00b2 in June 2025.<\/p>

These are municipality-wide transaction figures; prices within individual luxury developments can vary substantially.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
