Benahavís Property Market — December 2025 Commentary

A concise read on what changed over the last quarter and year in Benahavís — and what it likely means for the coming 1–3 months.

At a glance

  • Prices: Idealista ~€5,432/m² (Oct 2025 benchmark); Indomio asking-price peak ~€5,743/m² (Aug 2025, 2-year high).
  • Y/Y: approx +16% vs October 2024 — Benahavís consolidating near new highs, with only mild seasonal easing since the summer peak.

Last Quarter (roll-up)

The market is consolidating at high price levels. Q4 is quieter in headline activity, but serious buyers remain active, especially for renovated homes in established golf and school-adjacent areas.

  • Price context: Idealista’s index has moved from just over €5,000/m² in early summer to ~€5,432/m² by October, with double-digit annual growth and small month-on-month moves rather than any clear correction.
  • Activity: Viewings ease into late November and December, but good listings still attract offers. Benahavís continues to track slightly more steadily than some neighbouring coastal zones.
  • Segments: €1–2M family villas and high-spec apartments remain the most liquid. Above ~€2M, buyers focus on view quality, privacy, energy efficiency and “turnkey” finish.

12-Month View

Across public sources, Benahavís sits at or near the top of Málaga province for both sale and rental values. Depending on methodology and micro-area, average asking/sale levels broadly sit in the ~€4,700–€5,700/m² band, with strong year-on-year growth from late 2024 and particularly firm numbers in core districts such as La Quinta, El Paraíso and La Alquería.

Outlook (Next 60–90 Days)

  • Pricing: Sideways to modestly firm for renovated and turnkey homes in good positions; more flexibility on projects, older stock and properties needing heavy refurbishment.
  • Seasonality: December and early January are typically slower for new listings and decisions. Activity and fresh stock usually pick up from mid-January into February as overseas buyers plan spring viewings.
  • Buyer tactics: Clear budget, proof of funds and flexible completion dates are often more persuasive than aggressive discount requests on best-in-class homes.
  • Seller tips: Realistic pricing, strong photography, tidy presentation and documented upgrades help shorten time-to-sell going into the spring market.
