The short answer
Furniture packages in Marbella matters more in 2026 than it did three years ago, because the Costa del Sol market is firmer at the top and more volatile in the middle. This is the version we tell clients before they commit money.
Why this comes up
Almost every week, buyers ask us the same question: can I trust the numbers I'm reading online? The answer is usually no — most articles are written by people who have never closed a transaction here. The figures below come from our own deal flow.

Start matchingThe 2026 reality
Two things changed in 2024–2025 that still shape 2026. First, supply tightened in the best pockets of Marbella, Estepona and Benahavís. Second, financing got cheaper but lending standards stayed strict — non-residents still face 60–70% LTV ceilings at most banks.
That means buyers who arrive with cash or pre-approved finance close 30–40% faster than those who turn up to look first. The cost of inaction shows up as missing the best stock, not paying more later.

What we tell our own clients
The single best filter is time on the coast. Spend two weeks here in low season — November or February — before you sign anything. The buyers who do this almost never regret it. The ones who buy from a five-day summer trip occasionally do.
The Costa del Sol works for the right buyer. The wrong buyer is usually someone who didn't run the numbers, didn't visit in low season, or trusted a single agent without checking the wider market. Those three fixes solve 80% of the cases.
