Benahavís Market Overview – September 2025
Benahavís continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience as we move through September 2025, with rising values, constrained supply and sustained buyer demand underpinning the market. While transaction volumes have softened due to limited stock, pricing trends across the municipality — particularly in prime and ultra-prime locations — remain notably strong.
Residential Sale Prices Continue Upward
As of July 2025, average asking prices in Benahavís reached approximately €5,646 per m², representing a substantial 14.8% year-on-year increase from July 2024. Importantly, this marks the highest pricing level recorded over the past two years.
Price Variations by Area
Premium areas continue to command significant premiums:
- La Zagaleta – El Madroñal: €7,681/m²
- La Quinta: €6,365/m²
- Montemayor – Marbella Club: €5,392/m²
- El Paraíso: €5,266/m²
- Zona Benahavís: €5,098/m²
- Los Arqueros – Puerto del Almendro: €5,056/m²
- Los Flamingos: €5,029/m²
La Zagaleta and El Madroñal continue to sit firmly at the ultra-prime end of the market, while even the lower-priced districts remain well-supported.
Apartments vs Houses
- Apartments: €4,647/m² — up 7.86% year-on-year
- Houses: €4,198/m² — up 4.26% year-on-year
Apartments continue to lead price growth, reflecting demand for turnkey homes, lock-up-and-leave residences and newer developments.
Sales Volume and Supply
Transaction volumes show a reported 20.52% decline, though this appears primarily stock-driven rather than a sign of weakening demand. Available inventory remains tight, particularly in the quality segment.
In practice, this has created continued upward pressure on pricing in sought-after locations.
Costa del Sol and National Context
- Luxury homes above €3M rose 3.17% in 2024
- Costa del Sol prices forecast to rise 5–8% in 2025
- BBVA projects ~4.7% national nominal growth
- Top-tier Benahavís assets now reaching €26.7M

Outlook for Autumn 2025

For sellers, conditions remain favourable. For buyers, well-priced opportunities still exist, but often require decisive action.
Final Thoughts
September 2025 reinforces Benahavís’ position as one of the Costa del Sol’s most resilient property markets. Rising values, tight inventory and enduring international demand continue to support a positive medium-term outlook.
