Coastal demand continues<br />
THE prices of homes that<br />
were sold in Spain´s coastal<br />
regions grew by an average of<br />
5.7 per cent over the last year,<br />
up to 1,727 euros per metre<br />
squared, which is 160 euros<br />
per square foot, according to<br />
a study published by internet<br />
property portal idealista.<br />
Properties on the Costa del<br />
Sol were those that have risen<br />
the most in the last year, with an<br />
increase of 9.9 per cent. These<br />
are followed by the coastal areas<br />
of the Balearic Islands, with<br />
a price change of 9.3 per cent.<br />
The Costa Blanca saw a more<br />
modest rise of 3.7 per cent,<br />
whilst Murcia’s Costa Calida<br />
was slightly higher at 4.1<br />
per cent, alongside the Costa<br />
de Valencia.<br />

The Cantabrian coasts in the<br />
north of Spain, on the other<br />
hand, kept showing year-onyear<br />
drops in their prices. The<br />
greatest decrease in house<br />
prices occurred in the Mariña<br />
Lucense (-6.5 per cent), followed<br />
by the Costa da Morte<br />
in A Coruña (-1.1 per cent), the<br />
Costa of Biscay (-0.7 per cent)<br />
and the Costa Verde in Asturias<br />
(-0.6 per cent).<br />
In all other Spanish coastal<br />
areas, property prices<br />
increased.<br />
The Balearic coast remains<br />
the area with the highest prices:<br />
3,144 euros/m 2 , or 289 euros/<br />
sq ft. It is followed by the Costa<br />
Guipuzcoana (2,972 euros/m 2<br />
or 276 euros/sq ft), Maresme<br />
(2,368 euros/m 2 or 220 euros/sq<br />
ft) and the Costa Brava (2,250<br />
euros/m 2 or 209 euros/sq ft).<br />
Also above two thousand<br />
euros are the Coast of Biscay<br />
(2,204 euros/m 2 or 205 euros/sq<br />
ft) and the Costa del Sol (2,030<br />
euros/m 2 or 189 euros/sq ft).<br />
The Mariña Lucense is the<br />
coastal area with the lowest<br />
prices, with sellers only asking<br />
for 949 euros/m 2 , or 88 euros/<br />
sq ft. Close behind it comes the<br />
Costa da Morte with 957 euros/<br />
m 2 , or 89 euros/sq ft, then the<br />
Costa del Azahar in Castellón<br />
(1,044 euros/m 2 or 97 euros/sq<br />
ft), the Costa de Valencia (1,118<br />
euros/m 2 or 104 euros/sq ft) and<br />
the Costa Cálida (1,144 euros/<br />
m 2 or 106 euros/sq ft).<br />
