Does a sea view cost more here?
42% of these listings record a view, which is enough to ask the question.
| View | Homes | Median | Median size | Per m² |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sea view recorded | 36 | €766,850 | 187 m² | €4,558 |
| No view recorded | 33 | €750,000 | 204 m² | €3,851 |
"No view recorded" is missing information, not a confirmed absence. Compare the per-m² column rather than the headline price — sea-view homes are usually larger too.

Per square metre, not headline price — the places with the largest homes would otherwise look dearest simply for selling more house.
What it costs to buy
Modelled on a 3-bedroom villa at €573,500 — the median asking price here.
| Asking price | €573,500 |
|---|---|
| IVA (10% on new build) | €57,350 |
| AJD (stamp duty, 1.4%) | €8,029 |
| Lawyer | €6,939 |
| Notary | €1,200 |
| Land registry | €871 |
| Total to complete | €647,889 |
- Taxes and fees
- €74,389
- As a share of price
- 13%
- Cash needed at 70% LTV
- €246,439
- Monthly mortgage
- €2,010
Choosing new build over an equivalent resale costs €8,029 more in tax here: €74,389 against €66,360. Banks lend against the price, never the taxes, so the taxes are cash.
What it costs to hold
| IBI (council tax) | €900 |
|---|---|
| Community fees | €360 |
| Insurance | €400 |
| Utilities | €2,520 |
| Maintenance | €1,000 |
| Per year | €5,180 |
| Per month | €432 |
A private pool instead of a communal one takes the yearly figure to €6,380.
What it might earn
| Letting pattern | Gross | Gross yield | After costs | True yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| High + shoulder (~120 days) | €30,600 | 5.3% | €9,324 | 1.4% |
| Full year (~200 days) | €47,200 | 8.2% | €17,476 | 2.7% |
"True yield" is income after letting expenses and running costs, measured against everything you actually spent to complete (€647,889) — not against the asking price. It is the number that decides whether the home pays for itself.
How this was worked out
What we assumed
- Costs modelled on a 3-bedroom villa at €573,500, the median asking price here.
- New build: IVA 10% plus AJD 1.4% in Valencia (Costa Blanca).
- Mortgage at 70% loan-to-value, 3.5% over 25 years — typical non-resident terms. Banks lend against the price, never the taxes.
- Rental modelled on nightly rates by property type and season, treating this as popular (coastal, near amenities). A specific home will beat or miss it.
- Running costs are conservative mid-range estimates; community fees vary widely between developments.
What this does not tell you
- Asking prices, not recorded sale prices. Completed sales typically land below.
- New build only. Says nothing about the resale market, which is larger and taxed differently.
- "New this month" counts listings entering our feed, which is not days on market.
- Rental income is modelled from nightly rates by property type and season. It does not vary by town, so it reflects what a home of this size and kind earns on this coast, not local demand here specifically.
Figures come from our own listings, read on 2026-08-20, and the money is calculated by the same module behind the site's calculators — so a report and a calculator cannot disagree. Regenerated monthly.
