If you own a home in Mazarrón, Puerto de Mazarrón or along the surrounding coast, you may be asking yourself an important question: how much is my property really worth in 2026? The answer is more complicated than simply multiplying the size of your home by an average price per square metre found online. The Mazarrón property market has experienced significant movement during recent months, particularly in coastal areas. However, property values can vary considerably between Mazarrón town, Puerto de Mazarrón and areas such as Bolnuevo, La Isla, El Alamillo and Bahía. What is happening in the Mazarrón property market in 2026? The latest available idealista/data figures for August 2026 place the average asking price across the municipality of Mazarrón at approximately €1,978/m². Average asking prices · August 2026 Mazarrón municipality: €1,978/m²Puerto de Mazarrón: €2,085/m²Bolnuevo: €2,202/m² These figures are useful for understanding the general direction of the market, but they need to be interpreted carefully. They represent asking prices for advertised properties, rather than the final prices agreed between buyers and sellers. A municipal average also combines many very different types of property. Using an average price per square metre alone can therefore lead to an inaccurate valuation. Why can two properties of the same size have very different values? In a coastal and holiday-home market such as Mazarrón, relatively small differences between properties can have a significant impact on buyer demand and value. Some of the most important factors include: Exact location. Mazarrón town, Puerto de Mazarrón, Bolnuevo, Bahía, La Isla and El Alamillo all have different property markets. Distance from the sea. This can be particularly important in coastal areas. Views. A terrace with sea views can considerably increase the appeal of a property. Condition. A renovated, move-in-ready home competes differently from a property requiring substantial refurbishment. Terraces and outdoor space. Particularly important for buyers looking for a holiday or second home. Lift access. Often important for apartments on upper floors. Communal swimming pool. Parking and storage. Orientation and natural light. Quality of the development and community fees. Asking price is not the same as selling price This is one of the most important points for any property owner to understand. When you search property portals for similar homes, you are mainly seeing the prices owners are asking. You are not necessarily seeing the price that buyers ultimately agree to pay. Properties that remain advertised for a long time can also distort an owner's perception of the market. The fact that a property is advertised at a particular price does not automatically mean that a buyer is prepared to pay it. The best asking price is not necessarily the highest asking price. It should position the property correctly against its competition and attract the right potential buyers. How should a property be valued? A professional property valuation should combine several different factors rather than relying on one statistic. 1. Analyse the property itself Size, layout, orientation, terrace, views, floor level, lift, parking, communal pool, condition and any other features that differentiate the home from competing properties. 2. Analyse the exact location Saying that a property is simply in “Puerto de Mazarrón” is not enough. Values can vary between beachfront properties, central locations, residential areas and individual developments. 3. Study the current competition We need to understand which similar properties are currently competing for the attention of the same potential buyer. 4. Understand current buyer demand Value is also influenced by the number and type of buyers interested in that particular kind of property. 5. Establish a marketing strategy A valuation should not simply provide a number. It should help determine how the property should be positioned and marketed in order to achieve a realistic sale. Puerto de Mazarrón continues to show a strong market Available data for August 2026 puts the average asking price in Puerto de Mazarrón at €2,085/m², approximately 23.2% higher than one year earlier. This shows the strength of the recent market, but it does not mean that every individual property has increased in value by the same percentage. Performance depends on location, property type, condition and specific buyer demand. This is why an individual assessment is important before establishing an asking price. Is 2026 a good time to sell property in Mazarrón? Current market conditions may be attractive for many owners, particularly in locations benefiting from both Spanish and international demand. However, whether it is the right time for you to sell also depends on your personal circumstances, the characteristics of the property and the price that can realistically be achieved. Before making a decision, it is useful to understand: the realistic market value of the property; the current competing properties; and the most suitable marketing strategy.

We assess your property, its location and current competition to help you establish an appropriate selling strategy. REQUEST A PROPERTY VALUATION Frequently asked questions Can I value my property simply using the average price per square metre? No. Average prices are useful as a general reference, but an accurate assessment should also take into account location, condition, orientation, views, outdoor space, floor level, facilities and current competition. Is the price shown on property portals the actual selling price? Not necessarily. Property portals mainly display asking prices. The final price agreed between a seller and buyer may be different. Is a property with sea views worth more? Sea views and proximity to the coast will generally increase buyer appeal, although their effect on value depends on the location and the other characteristics of the property. Can PROSER value my property? Yes.

An individual property valuation may differ significantly from statistical averages.

If you are planning to sell a property in Mazarrón, Puerto de Mazarrón or elsewhere in the Region of Murcia, it is important to understand not only what your property may be worth, but also the taxes and costs that may arise during the sale. The sale price shown on the completion documents is not necessarily the amount the owner ultimately receives as net proceeds. Taxes, mortgage cancellation costs, professional fees and other expenses may all need to be considered. This guide explains the main costs property owners should review before selling in Spain in 2026. What are the main costs when selling a property in Spain? Main items to consider ✓ Capital gains tax ✓ Municipal plusvalía tax ✓ Mortgage cancellation costs, where applicable ✓ Estate agency fees ✓ Certificates and documentation ✓ Possible notary, Land Registry or administration costs Not every sale involves all of these costs. A mortgage-free property, for example, may have a very different cost structure from a property with an outstanding loan. 1. Capital gains tax for Spanish tax residents When a Spanish tax resident sells a property, the transaction may generate a capital gain or capital loss. Tax is not normally calculated simply on the total selling price. The gain is broadly determined by comparing the acquisition and disposal values, taking into account certain allowable costs and circumstances. A simplified example If a property was purchased for €120,000 and is later sold for €200,000, this does not automatically mean that €80,000 will be the taxable gain. Certain acquisition and selling expenses, taxes and qualifying improvements may need to be taken into account when calculating the final gain. For this reason, property owners should retain purchase deeds, invoices and documents relating to improvements and other relevant costs. Capital gains tax rates for Spanish residents For individuals subject to Spanish personal income tax, capital gains are generally included in the savings tax base. Gain Rate Up to €6,000 19% €6,000 to €50,000 21% €50,000 to €200,000 23% €200,000 to €300,000 27% Over €300,000 30% These are progressive bands. The highest rate does not apply to the whole gain. Can a capital gain be exempt? Yes. Spanish tax legislation provides certain exemptions where the required conditions are met. Reinvestment in another main residence Where a Spanish tax resident sells their main residence and reinvests the proceeds in another qualifying main residence, all or part of the gain may be exempt if the legal requirements are satisfied. The reinvestment period generally covers the two years before or after the sale. Owners aged over 65 A person aged over 65 may be exempt from capital gains tax when selling their qualifying main residence, provided the legal requirements are met. 2. Municipal plusvalía tax Another tax that may arise when selling urban property is the Impuesto sobre el Incremento de Valor de los Terrenos de Naturaleza Urbana, commonly known in Spain as the municipal plusvalía tax. This is a local tax connected with the increase in value of the urban land during the period of ownership. Its amount cannot simply be calculated as a percentage of the sale price. Factors such as the cadastral land value, ownership period and the relevant municipal regulations may affect the calculation. In Mazarrón The administration and collection of this municipal tax is delegated to the Tax Agency of the Region of Murcia. 3. What happens if the property has a mortgage? An outstanding mortgage does not prevent a property from being sold. The seller normally obtains an up-to-date redemption figure from the bank and the outstanding debt can be coordinated with the completion of the sale. There may also be costs associated with formally removing the mortgage charge from the Spanish Land Registry, including possible notary, registry and administration costs. 4. Estate agency fees Where a seller appoints an estate agent, the agreed professional fees should also be included when estimating the overall cost of selling. Professional property marketing may include valuation, photography, video, advertising, buyer enquiries, viewings, negotiation and coordination of the transaction through to completion. 5. Other possible selling costs Depending on the property and circumstances, other costs may include: an Energy Performance Certificate where required; community of owners certificates; Land Registry documentation; settlement of outstanding bills or charges; administration costs; technical documentation; removal of registered charges; repairs or preparation before marketing. What if the seller is not resident in Spain? This is especially important in coastal areas such as Puerto de Mazarrón, Bolnuevo, Isla Plana and La Azohía, where many properties are owned by international clients. When the seller is not tax resident in Spain, the buyer is generally required to retain 3% of the purchase price and pay this amount to the Spanish Tax Agency on account of the seller's tax liability. Important The 3% withholding is not necessarily the seller's final tax bill. The seller must subsequently calculate and declare the actual capital gain. Depending on the result, there may be additional tax to pay or a refund may be due. Capital gains arising from the sale of Spanish property by an individual non-resident are currently taxed at a general rate of 19%. Selling for €250,000 does not mean receiving €250,000 net Imagine a property sells for €250,000. Before calculating the owner's actual net proceeds, it may be necessary to consider: the outstanding mortgage balance; capital gains taxation; municipal plusvalía tax; estate agency fees; mortgage cancellation costs; and the seller's tax residency. This is why preparing an estimate of the transaction before marketing the property can be extremely useful.

SELL MY PROPERTY Frequently asked questions Do I always pay capital gains tax when selling? Not necessarily. It depends on whether a taxable gain arises and whether any available exemption applies. Who normally pays the municipal plusvalía tax? In a standard property sale it is generally the seller, although the circumstances of each transaction should always be reviewed. Can I sell a property with an outstanding mortgage? Yes. This is common and the outstanding debt can normally be coordinated with completion of the sale. Why is 3% withheld when I am a non-resident seller? Spanish law generally requires the buyer to retain 3% of the purchase price as a payment on account of the non-resident seller's tax liability. Can I estimate my selling costs before putting the property on the market? In many cases, yes. Estimating the main costs before marketing can help you understand the likely net proceeds and make better decisions about the sale. Information updated in September 2026.

If you are planning to sell a property in Mazarrón, Puerto de Mazarrón or elsewhere in the Region of Murcia, preparing the documents in advance can prevent unnecessary delays once a buyer is found. A property may already have an interested buyer but still be unable to proceed smoothly if an important certificate is missing, an old mortgage remains registered or the cadastral information does not match the property's legal documentation. For this reason, PROSER recommends reviewing the paperwork before the property is placed on the market, rather than waiting until completion is approaching. Main documents you should prepare before selling Property seller's checklist ✓ Passport, DNI or NIE ✓ Title deed or proof of ownership ✓ Up-to-date Land Registry information ✓ Latest IBI bill and cadastral reference ✓ Energy Performance Certificate ✓ Community of owners debt certificate where applicable ✓ Mortgage and charge information where relevant ✓ Additional documents depending on the individual property 1. Identification documents All owners involved in the sale must be properly identified. Depending on the circumstances, this may include: DNI for Spanish owners; NIE and passport or national ID for foreign owners; company documentation where a company owns the property; a valid power of attorney where a representative signs on behalf of the seller. It is also advisable to make sure that the owner's identification details correspond correctly with the information held at the Land Registry. 2. Title deed The title deed shows how the current owner acquired the property and contains important information about the home. However, an old deed does not necessarily show the property's current legal position. For this reason, current Land Registry information should also be checked. 3. Land Registry information An up-to-date nota simple from the Spanish Land Registry can show: the registered owner; the registered description of the property; mortgages; embargoes; usufruct rights; easements; and other registered limitations or charges. Checking this information early makes it possible to identify issues before the property reaches the reservation, deposit contract or completion stage. A mortgage can remain registered even after the loan has been repaid It is not unusual to find a mortgage that was paid off years ago but was never formally removed from the Land Registry. Finding this out early gives the seller time to arrange its cancellation before completion. 4. IBI receipt and cadastral reference The seller should have the latest information relating to the Spanish local property tax, known as IBI. The latest IBI bill will normally also contain the property's cadastral reference. This reference uniquely identifies the property in the Spanish Cadastre and helps compare: the physical property; cadastral information; the title deed; and Land Registry information. Significant differences in areas, extensions or buildings may need to be investigated before the sale takes place. 5. Energy Performance Certificate As a general rule, existing properties offered for sale in Spain must have a valid Energy Performance Certificate, unless a legal exemption applies. Energy efficiency information must also be included in property advertising where the certification requirement applies. When the property is sold, the registered certificate must be made available as part of the transaction. Do not wait until you have a buyer Where an Energy Performance Certificate is required, arranging it before marketing begins allows the property to be advertised correctly from the start. 6. Community of owners certificate Where the property belongs to a community of owners, the seller must state whether community fees are fully paid or whether any amount remains outstanding. A certificate showing the property's debt status with the community is normally required for completion unless the buyer expressly releases the seller from the obligation to provide it. It is therefore advisable to request the certificate early enough for completion. 7. What if there is an outstanding mortgage? Having an outstanding mortgage does not prevent a property from being sold. However, you should establish: which bank holds the mortgage; the outstanding balance; the amount required to repay the loan on the expected completion date; and how the mortgage will subsequently be removed from the Land Registry. Where the loan has already been repaid but the charge remains registered, a formal Land Registry cancellation may still be necessary. 8. Documents for international property owners Mazarrón and the surrounding coast have a significant number of international and non-resident property owners. Depending on the circumstances, it may be advisable to prepare: NIE; passport or national ID; Spanish tax information; bank account details; a Spanish power of attorney if the seller cannot travel; and documentation needed for the tax aspects of the transaction. Preparing these matters before a buyer is found can make the sale considerably easier. 9. Do I need an occupancy licence or habitability certificate? This should be reviewed on an individual basis. The planning and occupancy documentation required may depend on the property's age, location, type and legal circumstances. In some transactions it may also be necessary to review: planning licences; declarations of new construction; extensions; swimming pools; enclosures; alterations; or differences between the physical property, Cadastre and Land Registry. When should the paperwork be reviewed? Before marketing Check ownership, charges, cadastral information, the energy certificate and any potential legal or technical issues. When a buyer is found Update any documents with limited validity and prepare the information needed for the reservation or deposit contract. Before completion at the notary Check the community certificate, mortgage status, IBI, payment arrangements and any documentation requested by the notary. MARÍA · PROSER VIRTUAL PROPERTY AGENT One simple step that could save you weeks Do not wait until you have a buyer before looking for the paperwork.

We also review the general situation of the property so that potential issues can be identified as early as possible.

SELL MY PROPERTY Frequently asked questions Do I need an Energy Performance Certificate before advertising the property? Where the certification rules apply, energy efficiency information must appear in the property advertising, so it is advisable to arrange the certificate before marketing begins. Can I sell if I owe community fees? An outstanding community debt does not necessarily prevent the sale, but the position must be properly declared and dealt with as part of the transaction. Do I need a nota simple to sell? The notary will check the Land Registry position, but obtaining a nota simple at the beginning allows potential ownership or charge issues to be identified early. What if the areas shown in the Cadastre, title deed and Land Registry do not match? The reason and significance of the discrepancy should be investigated. Depending on the circumstances, additional documentation or legalisation may be needed. Can PROSER help prepare the documentation? Yes. We can help review the transaction and coordinate the documentation required with the relevant professionals and authorities involved in the sale. Information reviewed in September 2026.
