Investing in the Future: Mojacar and Surrounding Real Estate Trends for 2025

As we step into 2025, Mojacar and its neighbouring areas—Garrucha, Vera, and Turre—have seen steady growth in their real estate market, driven by evolving buyer priorities and favourable economic conditions. Looking back over the past year, several key trends have emerged that will continue to shape the market as we head into what promises to be a historic 2025. With a record-breaking year expected for Spain’s property market, now is a strategic moment to consider investing in this beautiful location. Here’s a look at what has defined 2024 and what lies ahead.

2024 Market Highlights in Mojacar, Garrucha, Vera, and Turre

Sustainable Living and Eco-Conscious Homes

Throughout 2024, demand increased for properties with sustainable features, as both local and international buyers seek homes that reduce environmental impact and energy costs. Mojacar Estates has observed that buyers prioritise properties with solar panels, energy-efficient windows, and eco-friendly materials, reflecting a shift toward long-term value and responsible living.

Remote Work and Relocation Appeal

The flexibility of remote work has brought a wave of new buyers to Mojacar, where quality of life, a beautiful setting, and a lower cost of living than many northern European cities are key draws. Buyers are particularly interested in spacious homes with dedicated office space, enabling them to balance work with a relaxed, Mediterranean lifestyle.

Second Homes and New Developments

While second homes remain popular in Mojacar and surrounding areas, 2024 also saw a significant rise in new-build developments. These new promotions offer modern design and often include energy-efficient features, making them attractive to both local and international buyers. Mojacar Estates is excited to help clients explore the broadening range of options, from traditional homes with character to contemporary new builds.

Looking Ahead to 2025: A Historic Year for Spain’s Property Market

The year 2025 is anticipated to be a landmark year for Spanish real estate, with an expected 825,000 property transactions—levels not seen since the market peak in 2007. This surge is driven by economic factors that make property ownership more accessible, and Mojacar is well-positioned to benefit from this trend. Here’s what prospective buyers and investors can expect:

More Accessible Mortgage Options:

An expected “mortgage war” among banks in 2025 means favourable conditions for home buyers, with fixed-rate mortgages available at around 2% and mixed-rate mortgages starting at just 1.5% for the first five years. These competitive rates will open up home ownership to a broader demographic, including younger buyers and families supported by relatives—a particularly important factor given the rising cost of rentals. In Mojacar, this could ease the path for those considering a property purchase in the area. (Please note: mortgage rates and eligibility are subject to individual assessment and may vary based on residency status and verifiable income.)

Continued Demand for Second Homes and New-Build Developments:

With Spain’s coastal areas becoming increasingly desirable, demand for both second homes and new developments in Mojacar and nearby towns is set to rise further. The property market in this area will continue to attract a mix of local and foreign buyers, drawn by its affordability, climate, and lifestyle. However, with prices expected to increase by up to 10%, buying sooner rather than later could be advantageous.

Established International Appeal:

With nearly half of Mojacar’s population already consisting of international residents, the area is well-known among buyers from across Europe and beyond. This diverse community adds to the area’s appeal, creating a vibrant blend of cultures and amenities. Looking ahead, Mojacar’s reputation as a desirable and inclusive destination will likely continue to attract buyers, as favourable credit terms and competitive prices make the area even more accessible.

Appeal of Ownership Over Long-Term Rental:

While long-term rental prices in Mojacar remain relatively accessible compared to larger cities, the appeal of property ownership is still strong, especially for those seeking a permanent or semi-permanent home in the region. With favourable mortgage rates expected in 2025, purchasing a home has become an even more attractive option, especially for those wanting the stability of ownership in a beautiful Mediterranean location. This trend is likely to encourage buyers who may have initially considered renting to explore the benefits of investing in property.

Stable Growth with Economic Safeguards:

Experts are optimistic that 2025’s market growth will be stable and sustainable, thanks to stricter financial regulations that prevent the risky lending practices of the past. With Eurozone inflation projected to stay around 2%, a stable economic environment will help support Spain’s real estate growth, benefiting buyers looking for both personal homes and investment properties.
