Poles close to a record. They bought more than 4,000 properties in Spain in 2025

As many as 4,136 houses and flats in Spain were purchased by Poles in 2025. – according to the latest data from the Registradores de España. This is almost exactly the same number as in the previously record-breaking year 2024. The interest of Poles in Spain is not waning, also for financial reasons – even on the Costa del Sol, real estate prices are competitive with the purchase of flats on the Vistula – also in Warsaw.

How has the share of Poles in the Spanish property market increased?

Exactly 4,136 properties, recorded in the purchase statistics for 2025, which is only 77 less than a year earlier. In the whole of last year, the average share of Poles among foreign buyers of houses and flats in Spain was 4.26% – with the highest (4.63%) in Q3, which then gave our compatriots the 8th place in the ranking. The British invariably lead the way (7.96% on average in 2025), ahead of the Germans (6.52%) and the Dutch (6.31%).

Over the past 10 years, Poles have steadily increased their share of the Spanish property market – starting from a modest 1.23% among foreign investors (2016 average). In absolute numbers, this more than 3-fold increase means thousands of houses and flats on the Iberian Peninsula are purchased by Polish investors every year. In the last five years alone, this represents a total of 15,585 transactions that our compatriots have made in the Spanish property market.

Costa del Sol: a unique lifestyle and sunny climate

The Sunshine Coast is one of the most diverse and attractive regions in Southern Europe. Lying between the Mediterranean and the mountain range, it offers more than 320 days of sunshine a year, mild winters and warm summers.

What Poles are looking for and finding on the Costa del Sol is a unique lifestyle. Plus great weather all year round and easy accessibility – especially today, with attractive credit conditions and a rich network of air links to Malaga.

The heart of the Costa del Sol is Marbella, named as the best place to live in the latest Barnes Global Property Handbook report and famous for its exceptional luxury properties. However, the Sunshine Coast’s offerings are much more than just luxury flats, penthouses or villas worth several or even tens of millions of euros.

A flat on the Costa del Sol for the price of a flat in Warsaw

Spain is the favourite market of Poles. It is also the place for professionals and the aspiring middle class. Flats on the Costa del Sol are available in the price range from EUR 350,000, which corresponds to the purchase price of a flat in, for example, Warsaw. Of course, there is no upper limit in principle, especially when it comes to the most luxurious villas. The market is diverse and the Poles are building a strong position in it.

On the Costa del Sol, flats or penthouses in the lower price range are worth looking for on the New Golden Mile, in Fuengirola, Benalmádena, Estepona or Mijas Costa. The secondary market is dominant, but the offer in new developments is growing steadily. Polish investors are most often looking for properties on the Sunshine Coast with prices ranging from €450,000 to €1.5 million.
