The debate about the future of Spain’s prime property market has gained momentum after idealista/news published an interview with Jordi Mercader, Managing Partner of BARNES Costa Brava. Mercader analyses the strength of the luxury real estate sector and warns about the reputational risks of new tax measures targeting foreign buyers.
Spain remains a top global destination thanks to its lifestyle, climate, gastronomy, culture and, above all, legal security. On the Costa Brava, buyers value privacy, authenticity and low density compared to other Mediterranean coasts. The market is divided between iconic sea-view villas, renovated farmhouses, and energy-efficient second homes.
The prime buyer today is patient, selective and sustainability-driven. Despite fiscal uncertainty, activity remains high — 2025 is proving more dynamic than 2024, with an average sale price of €1.4 million.
BARNES continues to expand in Costa Brava, the Balearics, Costa del Sol and Madrid, offering global clients expert advice, premium locations and lasting value..
