A recent study by a well established international real estate agency confirmed our own findings that there is a surge in the demand for luxury properties in and around the Marbella area by Spanish buyers.

The whole world has had to adapt to new ways of working, socialising and travel as a result of the ongoing health crisis. It has also meant that many people have altered their thinking and attitude to work and their overall lifestyle, something they will continue long after the virus is under control.

The constant threat of increased lockdowns, often at relatively short notice, has resulted in more Spanish buyers from the cities looking for luxury homes in the south of Spain, in particular Marbella and the surrounding areas.

The criteria for properties seems to be changing slightly with more people looking for homes close to the beach or in the countryside / around golf courses, avoiding the more built up towns. It is not just the Spanish looking for these luxury homes. Buyers from northern Europe are also looking for second homes, or even to relocate to the Costa del Sol.

The solid infrastructure, flight connections and weather are all elements that are a big plus for these buyers meaning that they can continue to work from home in a warmer and more relaxed environment.

Here at Orchid Estates we have also seen an increased demand for the higher end properties via enquiries from the central and northern parts of Spain, with clients looking for villas that have large plots and luxury apartments right on the beachfront.
