Fewer people are buying property on the Costa del Sol right now, but the prices keep going up.

So what’s happening, is the market slowing down or worse, are we seeing a crash?

It is the question we are being asked more than anything else at the moment, so in our quarter three 2026 market update, Sandra and Warner answer it properly.

Inside, Sandra and Warner share what they are seeing on the ground every day: who is coming through the door, which properties are still selling in days and which are sitting, and what Spain’s new rental rules mean if you are planning to buy in 2027.

You’ll hear:

✔ Why prices are holding even though there are fewer buyers in the market

✔ The family home we listed on a Friday, and what happened before the week was out

✔ What Warner says to anyone who is waiting for a crash

✔ Who actually came through our doors this quarter, and the nationality everyone is talking about

✔ Why our American clients are looking at the Costa del Sol instead of Florida and California

✔ Where stock is easy to find and where it is getting really hard, from entry level to €1.5 million

✔ The two areas Sandra would point a €500,000 buyer to right now, and why she won’t name them on air

✔ Spain’s new rental rules in plain English: holiday lets, seasonal lets and buying with a tenant in place

✔ The one piece of advice on tenanted properties that Sandra and Warner completely agree on

A note on the rental rules: they were announced in October 2026 and face a vote in Parliament on 12 November, with a general election on 29 November, so some of the detail could still change. We will keep you posted.
