Budget guide

What do you get for your budget?

An honest picture up front saves disappointment. Choose a budget and see how much living space you get on average in each area.

Averages across all property types. Sea views, a beachfront location and new builds cost more; a home inland costs less. Source: idealista, average asking price per m², September 2026 (Casares: August 2026). Driving times to Málaga airport without traffic.

New build or resale?

Not sure? That's normal

Both have advantages. Many buyers choose “no preference” and only decide after the first viewings.

New builds

  • Modern layout, energy efficient, developer guarantees
  • Payments spread over the build
  • Often complexes with a pool, gym and security
  • Waiting until completion (often 12 to 30 months)
  • You buy off-plan; gardens and surroundings still need to mature

Resale property

  • You see what you buy and can enjoy it straight away
  • Often the best locations, closer to the sea and town
  • Mature gardens and more space for the same money
  • Sometimes needs renovation
  • Thorough legal and technical checks are essential
