South Costa Brava H1 2025 report now out

The Costa Brava market is proving surprisingly resilient in H1 2025, but the latest data reveals a few twists you might not expect.

If you follow the Costa Brava market, you’ll want to take a look at the new H1 2025 update now published on SPI. The headline is simple enough: resilience. But the details reveal a market behaving with more nuance than you might expect.

Sales up, but not where you think

Overall sales in Girona province continued their steady climb, but the real eyebrow-raiser is how tightly the coast is holding its ground. The Costa Brava’s most coveted municipalities posted almost 50% more sales than a decade ago, with this year still nudging upwards despite everything the world throws at buyers. Foreign demand? Still a full quarter of the market—remarkably stable considering the turbulence of recent years.

Prices rising faster than sentiment

Another standout detail: price growth is showing more conviction than the headlines suggest. Average prices rose notably in H1, and new builds—supposedly the fragile segment—managed an even stronger jump. And in Begur, long a bellwether for the southern Costa Brava, asking prices continue their slow-burn climb. Not dramatic, but relentlessly upwards over five and ten years.

A few surprises you might not expect

Mortgage approvals surged by almost 30% as borrowing costs eased, hinting at a quietly strengthening demand pipeline. Meanwhile, new home sales fell sharply—though still well ahead of their long-term average.

The complete South Costa Brava H1 2025 report is now available, packed with charts, long-term comparisons, and a deeper look at how this market is really evolving.
