Almuñécar property prices: how much have they really risen?
By Nadia Atif Meersschaut1 min read
Property prices on Spain’s Costa Tropical have climbed quickly in recent years. But how quickly? Based on RealAdvisor data from October 2026, here is what the numbers show.
The key figures
- Average price in Paseo de Cotobro: €3,847 per m² (range: €2,756 – €4,604)
- Last 12 months: houses +8.8%, apartments +11.2%
- Last 5 years: houses +54.7%, apartments +73.7%
| Indicator | Value |
|---|---|
| Average price per m² | €3,847 |
| Range per m² | €2,756 – €4,604 |
| Houses, last 12 months | +8.8% |
| Apartments, last 12 months | +11.2% |
| Houses, last 5 years | +54.7% |
| Apartments, last 5 years | +73.7% |
- 3 months+2.6%
- 6 months+5.4%
- 1 year+11.2%
- 2 years+26.7%
- 3 years+45.8%
- 4 years+58.6%
- 5 years (max)+73.7%
What does this mean per year?
Over five years, that is roughly 9% a year for houses and 12% a year for apartments. Almuñécar has also grown slightly faster than the Granada province as a whole.
Be careful with averages
- A regional average says little about one specific property. Condition, view, plot, and exact location can move the value a lot.
- Price per m² depends on how the area is measured: living area, terraces, garages and plot are often mixed together. Always ask for the official built area (catastro).
- Growth figures from sellers or agents without a source are marketing, not data. Ask where they come from.
- Past growth does not guarantee future growth. Growth is also slowing: apartments rose +2.6% in the last 3 months.
