We’re pleased to share that idealista/news has published an in-depth overview of the Costa Brava residential market, highlighting Begur and S’Agaró among the most expensive locations. The piece includes insights from our Managing Partner in the area, Jordi Mercader, and it mirrors what we witness weekly across viewings and closings: true seafront consistently preserves and compounds value thanks to scarce supply and steady international demand.
The numbers… and the on-the-ground reality
According to the College of Registrars, the average home price in Girona province stands at €2,287/m² in 2025, the 11th highest in Spain. In prime locations — beachfront, open views, easy access to coves — the usual band ranges from €4,000 to €10,000/m², with higher peaks when exceptional plots, privacy and singular architecture align.
Helpful micro-area benchmarks:
Where the market pays the most
Begur excels thanks to its cliffline topography, giving a high share of villas sea views. S’Agaró blends heritage planning with a consolidated seafront: structural scarcity and top desirability. Other strong micro-zones: Cala Canyelles (Lloret de Mar) and Cala Sant Francesc (Blanes), mixing high-end residential with premium holiday appeal.
Inner Empordà: farmhouses and village houses with upside
The Empordà golden triangle shows solid momentum for masías and village houses:
Here the driver isn’t the waterfront, but rehab quality, landscape setting, privacy and connectivity (Barcelona–Girona, high-speed rail, airports).
Who’s buying: profiles and motives
We see a majority international bias on seafront/view assets: a European base (France, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Nordics) plus a rising wave from the U.S. and Canada. Buyers look for quality of life, safety, climate and a healthy lifestyle that’s hard to replicate back home. In parallel, more people relocate permanently, turning the property into a personal project (boutique hotel, retreat, creative residence).
The domestic buyer remains active: middle-aged couples and families starting with a second home (weekends, summers) and increasingly moving full-time to the Empordà and Costa Brava, prioritising outdoor space, privacy and remote work.
If you’re weighing a sea-view villa in Begur or S’Agaró, or a masía in inland Empordà, we can bring you on- and off-market stock, micro-area comps and an acquisition strategy tailored to your use and time horizon.
