Alicante house prices per square metre, by area

1. The median, and how it is calculated

For each of the 25 listings, we divided the asking price by the size in m². The median is the middle value of those 25 prices per m².

This figure comes from this site's listings, not another portal or sale deeds. Two warnings come first.

First: the sample is small. It is 25 listings. One or two expensive or cheap listings can move the median. Read it as an order of magnitude for this site's listings on that date, not as an exact price for one home.

Second: this site's Spain listings skew towards larger properties. This median does not describe the whole Alicante market, the price of an ordinary flat, or the price of a home in one neighbourhood. It describes only this site's 25 listings on 2 November 2026.

An asking price is also not a sale price. It is the price in the listing. The final price can differ, because it can be negotiated or because the listing can go out of date.

Spain's National Statistics Institute (INE) publishes a different measure, the Housing Price Index, which tracks how sale prices of open-market homes change, using deed data. It is a measure of change, not a price in €/m², and it does not replace this median.

This site does not verify whether listings are genuine, whether photos are accurate, who the seller is, or whether a price or availability is still current. Compare several recent listings and visit the home before deciding.

2. Districts

This report publishes no district counts or medians, because none have been verified for this report.

The names below are geography only, with no prices. Under the city council's territorial organisation, the Centro zone includes Casco Antiguo-Santa Cruz, Centro, Ensanche-Diputación, Mercado and Raval Roig-Virgen del Socorro; Playas includes Albufereta, Playa de San Juan, Vistahermosa and Cabo Huertas; Sur includes Benalúa, San Gabriel and La Florida, among other neighbourhoods.

Alicante is a port city on the Mediterranean coast, capital of its province, on the Costa Blanca. Playa de San Juan and Albufereta are beach areas inside the municipal area. Without district data, this report does not say that one area is more expensive than another.

3. Direction over time

Not enough history yet to show a direction.

This report does not say whether Alicante prices are rising, falling or flat: it has no site history of its own to support that claim. One point, on 2 November 2026, with only 25 listings, is not enough to state a trend.

When a monthly site series exists, with more listings per month, this section will give the median month by month, with the listing count for each month.

4. Buying a home in Alicante: what to check

These are general checks. They do not replace advice from an independent lawyer or a notary.

No figure in this report is a promise of return, capital growth or easy resale. It describes asking prices, on one date, in a base of 25 listings. It does not predict future prices.

• **The NIE, if you are not Spanish.** The Número de Identidad de Extranjero is applied for on form EX-15 and is needed to sign the deed before a notary, pay purchase taxes and register the home in the Land Registry (Registro de la Propiedad). Get it before signing, not after.
• **The nota simple.** Ask for it from the Land Registry before committing. It shows who the owner is and what charges sit on the property, for example a mortgage. Check that the seller who signs is the owner shown in the nota simple.
• **The home itself.** Visit it. Check that the size, description and condition match the listing. Check the cadastral reference and registered size, ask for the energy certificate, and check that the IBI (property tax) and community charges are up to date.
• **The arras contract.** Read the whole contract before handing over money. What happens if either side pulls out depends on what the contract says and what kind of arras were agreed. Article 1454 of the Civil Code governs penitential arras, but those consequences apply only when penitential arras were clearly agreed. Do not sign an amount, deadline or condition you do not understand. An independent lawyer should review the contract before you sign.
• **The deed and the registry.** The purchase is formalised in a public deed before a notary and then registered in the Land Registry. Keep the deed, the tax payment receipts and the nota simple issued after registration.
• **Costs and timelines.** This report gives no amount, percentage or timeline, because they depend on the type of home, whether it is new or second-hand, the autonomous community and the particular case.
