The price of housing in the Golden Triangle formed by Marbella, Estepona, and Benahavís has risen by 12 percent.

The price of housing in the Golden Triangle, the area formed by Marbella, Estepona, and Benahavís, rose by 12 percent between May 2025 and the same month the previous year, as indicated yesterday by the association specializing in high-quality real estate, DOM3. This figure confirms the strong dynamism of the high-quality real estate market in the area, but it also highlights "the challenge of containing price increases to ensure sustainability," warned the real estate group. Estepona led the growth, with a 15 percent increase in the housing market, due, DOM3 noted, to the development of new construction properties and the greater availability of land in the municipality. In Benahavís, the increase was close to eleven percent, while in Marbella it was nine percent. DOM3 emphasized the interest of investors in the real estate market of the Golden Triangle and international demand, but called for responsibility. "It is necessary for the second-hand market to adjust its expectations. Constant increases in this segment can create a mismatch with real demand and slow down the volume of transactions," pointed out the association. In the Golden Triangle, 8,708 homes were sold in 2024, a 5.6 percent increase from the previous year. Most of the properties, 4,745, were sold in Marbella; 3,162 in Estepona; and 801 in Benahavís.
