Methodology & Sources

How we compile and interpret local market intelligence for Benahavís.

Data cadence

  • Monthly Commentary: focuses on the last quarter & 12-month picture with a 60–90 day outlook.
  • Quarterly Roll-ups: incorporate broker research and local completions intel.
  • Ad-hoc Spotlights: for micro-markets when notable movements occur (new releases, policy shifts, major sales).

Sources

  • Portals: Idealista, Indomio, Fotocasa — asking-price trends and listing mix.
  • Broker research: DM Properties/KNight Frank, Engel & Völkers — quarterly area context and segment notes.
  • Official: Registradores, INE — province/regional reference where relevant.
  • Local intel: notary timing, valuation feedback, and on-the-ground absorption patterns from recent deals.

What’s included / excluded

  • Included: Active and recently transacted homes within Benahavís municipality and immediate golf areas (Atalaya, La Alquería, La Quinta, Los Arqueros, Los Flamingos, etc.).
  • Excluded: Outliers (distressed, incomplete documentation) and non-arm’s-length trades where identifiable.
  • Asking vs Achieved: Unless stated, prices are asking context; achieved values need completions data.

How to read our indicators

  • €/m²: direction and relative position across micro-markets matter more than a single headline number.
  • Time-to-sell (DOM): varies widely by condition; renovated/turnkey usually < projects.
  • Absorption (MOS): months of supply = active listings ÷ sales pace; best used trend-over-time.
  • Seasonality: listing flow typically lighter Dec–Jan; strongest viewing periods Mar–Jun & Sep–Oct.
