As we approach the final months of 2025, Marbella continues to show why it remains one of Europe’s most desirable destinations for property and lifestyle.
The property market in Marbella has matured into a stable, sophisticated environment. Demand is selective, and buyers focus on genuine lifestyle goals and strategic investments rather than speculation. The combination of top-tier golf facilities, proximity to Puerto Banús, and breathtaking sea and mountain views makes this region unique, appealing to those who value comfort, privacy, and an active lifestyle.
Scandinavian Buyers Exploring New Options
Buyers from Sweden and Norway are increasingly looking beyond the familiar coastline. Homes near golf courses and modern villas in gated communities are growing in popularity, offering security, privacy, and year-round access to Marbella’s climate and lifestyle.
Dutch and Belgian Buyers Seeking Practical Value
Dutch and Belgian buyers are showing increasing sophistication, focusing on properties with rental potential or development opportunities. Excellent infrastructure, renowned golf courses, and international schools make areas like Nueva Andalucía and Puerto Banús particularly attractive for families considering relocation.
Polish Buyers on the Rise
Polish entrepreneurs are emerging as a notable market segment. Contemporary villas and penthouses that provide privacy, modern amenities, and a comfortable lifestyle are increasingly in demand.
German, Swiss, and Austrian Buyers Remain Strong
Buyers from Germany, Switzerland, and Austria continue to be drawn by Marbella’s combination of climate, cosmopolitan environment, and high-quality infrastructure. Properties over three million euros in The Golf Valley often sell within just a few weeks, reflecting steady and reliable demand.
Investment opportunitets
Property prices have stabilized following strong growth from 2021 to 2023, creating opportunities for thoughtful acquisitions. Frontline villas and exclusive penthouses continue to perform well, with solid returns for those looking at medium- to long-term prospects.
Average Price Points
Golf course frontline villas, 3.5 to 10 million euros
Penthouses in Nueva Andalucía, 1.8 to 4.5 million euros
Contemporary villas in La Quinta Golf, 2.2 to 7 million euros
Market Dynamics
Average time to sale, 3 to 4 months for premium properties. International buyers, 78 percent of transactions. Scandinavian, German, Austrian, Swiss, Polish, and Dutch buyers account for 52 percent of purchases above two million euros.
Looking Ahead
Autumn and winter is an ideal time to explore the Marbella property market. International buyers return from summer holidays with clear objectives, and the September to November period allows for relaxed property viewings without the intensity of peak summer. Marbella’s stability, lifestyle appeal, and improving economic fundamentals continue to support property values over time.
Success in Marbella’s property market requires more than knowledge. It demands trust, cultural understanding, and long-term relationships. At Marbella Golf Estates, we provide exclusive access to the region’s finest properties and guide our clients every step of the way.
