New tax measure: the reduction in stamp duty is boosting house purchases on the Costa Blanca
Some decisions change pace when a real incentive appears, and buying a Property on the Costa Blanca is entering exactly that scenario. From June 2026, the ITP reduction from 10% to 9% in the Valencian Community brings savings many international buyers have been waiting for. It’s not a minor detail when you’re considering a second home, a move to the Mediterranean, or a well-planned long-term investment.
The area also delivers. We’re talking about a coastline with more than 300 days of sunshine a year, beaches such as Playa de Levante, La Fossa and Playa del Postiguet, characterful towns like Altea or Moraira, and highly practical cities like Alicante, Torrevieja or Benidorm. Here you can have breakfast by the sea and, minutes later, be on a golf course or strolling through an old town with terraces open all year round.
Can you live comfortably all year? That’s one of the most common questions, and the answer across much of the Costa Blanca is yes. There are hospitals, international schools, supermarkets, marinas, access via the AP-7, and Alicante-Elche Airport as a major gateway for buyers from across Europe.
- Well-known beaches such as San Juan, El Cura, Arenal-Bol and Muchavista.
- Golf courses in areas like Las Colinas, Villamartín or La Sella.
- Fast connections to Alicante, Murcia and Orihuela Costa.
- Complete daily life with restaurants, shops and services open for much of the year.
And that’s the key. When the appeal of the location meets slightly lighter taxation, the timing starts to feel different.
When buying a property on the Costa Blanca comes with tax savings, viewing homes takes on a different meaning
With this new measure, buying a Property on the Costa Blanca gains a practical argument that complements the emotional one. That one percentage point less in ITP can make the difference between fine-tuning your budget, keeping more funds for furnishing, or choosing a home with higher-end finishes. And when you visit today’s developments, you can feel that difference.
What many buyers value most today is the combination of design and everyday usability. New-build apartments with terraces in Orihuela Costa, penthouses with solariums in Pilar de la Horadada, contemporary villas in Finestrat, or townhouses in private complexes with beautifully maintained gardens.
You slide open the living room doors and real light pours in. You step onto the terrace in February and still have breakfast outside. That kind of scene carries a lot of weight when you choose well.
- Spacious terraces to enjoy the Mediterranean climate almost all year round.
- Open-plan kitchens and living areas connected to the outdoors.
- Well-kept communal areas with a pool, gardens or a gym depending on the development.
- Garage and storage room that are very useful for long stays or a main residence.
