idealista, the leading real estate marketplace in Spain, is sponsoring the Eurovision Song Contest for the third consecutive year.

Two relevant reports were missing, and both reached the City Council last January, favorable to the development proposal of the Benidorm Ensanche Levante Plan, which covers an area of 575,371 m2. This is the most important area that remains to be developed in the Levante area of Benidorm and where it is intended to build more than 2,000 homes and 20 hotels. From now on, another path begins, which may be long, in which the promoters must draft the urbanization and reparcelling project for the sector.

The developer sold more than 600 homes to international clients last year, 13% more than the year before. Although the Costa del Sol and Levante are the most in-demand areas with the most transactions, Aedas assures that Tenerife South has made its way as a new on-trend residential destination for foreign buyers, after capturing 6.4% of its operations. It is the fifth most prominent location, behind Malaga, Alicante, Valencia and Madrid.

Nestled in the prestigious enclave of Nova Santa Ponsa in the southwest of Mallorca, this newly constructed designer villa epitomises contemporary luxury living.

The movements of some banks to improve the conditions of their fixed-rate mortgage loans have given a twist to the mortgage war. And the trend will increase in the coming months. The luxury real estate company Engel & Völkers assures that the improvement in mortgage offers will give speed to the market, while the economist and consultant Gonzalo Bernardos believes that fixed rates will return to 2% at the end of the year.

Pure Living Properties, an agency specialising in the premium market, has designed a guide analysing all the steps and current costs of the process. According to this study, the price of designing, building and providing technical facilities and furniture for a luxury villa with gardens and pool is currently around €5.1 million.

The Room2030 project, designed by architect Sergio Baragaño in collaboration with ArcelorMittal's R&D centres, consists of modular units and prefab houses made in Asturias and ready in one day.

Four years have passed since Covid fully hit our lives and began a long period of lockdowns and limited mobility, which awakened a desire in many Spaniards to leave the city behind and move to live in the countryside. This phenomenon reached its peak in the spring of 2021, when 5.8% of all contact with advertisers on idealista was for properties in towns with less than 5,000 inhabitants.

If you want to buy a place in the sun but the price is putting you off, Spanish repossessions direct from banks can be a great way to get a bargain.

According to the latest idealista report with data from February, the largest year-on-year increases have occurred in Jerez de la Frontera (14.6%), San Cristóbal de la Laguna (12.9%) and Telde (10.3%), while Marbella (€4,526/m2) and the university city of Tenerife (€1,637/m2) are the only places in this study to reach maximum prices.
