THE REAL ESTATE JOURNAL – Why May is the most strategic month of the real estate year

MORAIRA LIVING | Market & Lifestyle Report Edición Nº 5/12 • Exclusive for residents

May in the Marina Alta is no longer a simple transition towards the summer season; instead, it has officially consolidated as the smartest time of the year for selling your villa in Moraira. Furthermore, data from the first quarter of 2026 reveals a powerful trend: transactions initiated this month achieve a remarkable 94% completion rate before the traditional August slowdown.

Therefore, if you are considering marketing your property, this is the ideal window. Specifically, during this period, we face a “High-Intent” buyer profile. These are sophisticated international investors who have spent the spring meticulously analyzing digital portfolios and are now physically in the Costa Blanca, ready to sign contracts. In fact, they are not looking for potential; consequently, they demand a sanctuary completely ready to move into by July.

Key insights of the “Marina Alta Exception” when selling your villa in Moraira

To value a real estate asset accurately today, it is essential to look beyond the standard “For Sale” signs. In addition, you must analyze official records. According to the latest reports issued by the National Statistics Institute (INE) and the College of Registrars, Moraira stands out as a highly resilient safe-haven destination for global investment:

• International Sales Records: Alicante remains the undisputed leader in foreign investment in Spain. 44.8% of all regional transactions are carried out by foreign buyers. While British and Dutch buyers remain strong, 2026 has brought a 12% surge in buyers from the US and Poland.

• Unshakable Price Resilience: While other Mediterranean hotspots are beginning to cool down, our local market maintains a solid 5.8% year-on-year appreciation. “Prime Villas” continue to act as a real safe haven against global inflation.

• Profitability Factor: For owners considering reinvestment strategies, net rental yields in Moraira have stabilized at a remarkable 4.3%, comfortably exceeding the Spanish national average of 3.1%.

🛠️ Pre-summer maintenance tip: Before opening your doors to these serious prospective buyers, ensure your property is in top condition. A quick checklist—including checking the refrigerant pressure in your air conditioning system, cleaning the electrodes in your salt chlorinator, and having a professional perimeter treatment carried out against pests commonly found in May—will help you avoid any hiccups during viewings.
