Selling Property in Altea: What Homeowners Need to Know in 2025

Selling Property in Altea: What Homeowners Need to Know in 2025

Selling a property in Altea isn’t what it used to be. In 2025, the Costa Blanca real estate market is more competitive, more informed, and more digital than ever — and Altea is right at the centre of this transformation.

If you’re thinking about selling your property in Altea or the surrounding areas, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know. From market trends to buyer expectations and the importance of the right marketing strategy — we’re sharing insights based on 30+ years of experience in the area, backed by real data and the unique way we work.

 

1. Why Altea Is Still in High Demand

Altea remains one of the most desirable towns on the Costa Blanca for a number of reasons:

  • Its mix of traditional Spanish charm and luxury modern living

  • The appeal of both Altea Pueblo and Altea Hills

  • Close proximity to both Alicante and Valencia airports

  • A growing international community, particularly among Dutch, Belgian, German, and French buyers

In 2025, demand hasn’t slowed down — but it has become more selective. Buyers are more informed and comparison-driven than ever. This means presentation and strategy are key.

 

2. What Buyers Expect in 2025

Modern buyers — especially those coming from Northern Europe — are looking for:

  • Clear documentation (deeds, licences, energy certificates)

  • Transparent information: no sales talk, just facts

  • Energy-efficient homes or potential to modernize

  • Reliable agents with local presence and good reviews

  • Authentic property storytelling: what makes this home worth the price?

It’s no longer about just uploading your property to a portal — buyers want context, video, and confidence.

Buyers will often look for a property through a portal like Idealista, but eventually decide on working with a specific estate agent in Altea they can trust to get everything sorted. This is where we stand out as one of the highest ranking dutch estate agents in the Altea.

 

3. How to Prepare Your Property for Sale

Some simple improvements can make a big difference:

  • Minor repairs and fresh paint

  • Declutter and neutral presentation

  • Professional photos and video (preferably vertical and horizontal)

  • A clear info pack with key property details

At Altea Moraira Villas, our in-house marketing team helps homeowners with all of this — making sure every listing is strategically presented from day one.

It's not too hard to see the difference between an average real estate agent, and a professional one with experience. The top performing agencies are always staying up-to-date with everything. Take a look at the properties we offer for sale in Altea, and you'll quickly realize only by looking at our portfolio, what we mean. Would you want your property to be listed among other top properties from the area, and on a website with more than 100.000 users per year?

 

4. Pricing Strategy: Don’t Chase the Market

One of the biggest mistakes sellers make is overpricing in the hope of negotiation. In today’s market, buyers skip overpriced properties entirely.

We always recommend:

  • Honest, data-backed valuation

  • Comparative analysis of nearby sales

  • Positioning the price for visibility

Our team combines on-the-ground knowledge with years of experience — and can provide both a realistic estimate and a tailored pricing strategy.

 

5. Local Knowledge Makes a Real Difference

Understanding Altea isn’t just about knowing the streets. It’s about:

  • Knowing the difference between demand in Altea Hills vs Altea Pueblo

  • Understanding buyer types and nationalities

  • Having personal connections to contractors, notaries, and town hall

We live and work here. And that gives us an edge when it comes to providing calm, informed advice that helps you make the best decision.

 

6. Our Network of Buyers

As a Dutch-owned business with decades of experience, our network of international buyers is strong — especially among Dutch-speaking clients.

And because we’re part of Moraira Invest Group, your property is promoted through multiple channels, including:

  • Our websites and social media platforms

  • Collaborating agents in the Netherlands and Belgium

  • Strategic content marketing campaigns in relevant digital media

We don’t just wait for a buyer to appear. We go find them.

Sellers often think we already have a buyer ready in our data-base as soon as their property hits the market, but there's more to it. Yes, we have an existing list with buyers waiting for the perfect property to hit the market, but not all properties meet those requirements. We start a complete campaign to sell a property, from presenting it correctly to spreading it as far as possible - and based on the results of this, we either sell it, or we take note of the existing data to make changes to the strategy.

 

7. The Legal and Tax Side of Things

Selling property in Spain involves paperwork. Here’s what to have ready:

  • Escritura (title deed)

  • IBI and basura (tax records)

  • Habitation certificate

  • Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

You’ll also want to understand:

  • Capital gains tax

  • Plusvalía municipal

  • Agent fees and what they include

We can guide you through the entire legal process and connect you with reliable legal partners if needed.

 

8. Marketing That’s More Than Just a Listing

Great marketing sells homes. That’s why we:

  • Film honest video tours with real agents

  • Use drone visuals to highlight location

  • Create content in multiple languages

  • Strategically distribute listings through our own channels and selected portals

And everything is done in-house — no outsourcing. Just a real team doing real work.

With everything becoming more digital, we now have data for everything we do. Some properties need 200 views to get sold, some properties need 1500 views, some don't even make it to the market because our system found a buyer as soon as we uploaded it. This combination of strategies from a professional in-house marketing team, and the official data from everything we do - eventually sells a property for the best price possible.
