Here’s a summary based on Spanish real estate market data and analysis.
1. Global and Spanish crisis
- Global: The real estate crash triggered the Great Recession (2008). It started with the U.S. subprime collapse in 2007 and peaked with Lehman Brothers’ bankruptcy in Sept 2008.
- Spain: Known as “La Crisis Inmobiliaria” or “La Burbuja Inmobiliaria”. Lasted from 2008 to 2014-2015, hitting Spain harder due to its reliance on construction.
2. Price bottom
Lowest prices were in 2014-2015, after years of decline.
3. Price evolution
- 2000-2007: Rapid growth.
- 2008-2014: Drop of 30-50%.
- 2015-2019: Gradual recovery.
- 2020-now: Strong growth driven by foreign buyers, digital nomads, and lack of new builds.
By region:
- Costa del Sol: Strong correction, luxury segment resisted better. Since 2015, robust recovery, Málaga now a tech hub.
- Costa Blanca North: Stable demand, steady growth since 2015.
- Costa Blanca South: Hardest hit, slower recovery, still affordable.
- Costa Cálida: Severely affected, abandoned projects. From 2017 onwards, competitive prices and potential.

5. Best investments
