Poles are making an increasingly strong mark on the Spanish property market. In the first half of 2026, they bought 2,269 houses and flats on the Iberian Peninsula – 9 per cent more than a year earlier and the highest figure on record. At the same time, property prices on the secondary market rose by 17.2 per cent year-on-year in the second quarter.
As Agnieszka Marciniak-Kostrzewa, founder of Agnes Inversiones, points out, the rise in prices on the Costa del Sol is primarily due to high demand coupled with limited supply. The number of attractive properties on offer is not keeping pace with the growing interest from overseas buyers. Properties in the €0.5–2.5 million price range are the most popular amongst Polish investors, but the premium segment, comprising properties priced at €2.5–6 million, is also growing rapidly.
At the same time, Poles are now buying more consciously and selectively. When choosing a property, they consider not only the location and standard, but also the view, access to the beach, year-round facilities and – in the case of an investment purchase – the possibility of legally letting the property.
In the latest article in Puls Biznesu, Agnieszka Marciniak-Kostrzewa discusses, amongst other things:
- the reasons behind the record levels of interest among Poles in property in Spain,
- rising prices and limited supply on the Costa del Sol,
- budgets and the types of property most commonly chosen by Polish customers,
- changes in the way buyers make decisions,
- the implications of the new regulations on short-term lettings,
- the reasons why investors interested in letting are increasingly turning to the secondary market.
