Eighty square metres of private roof, above a two-bedroom apartment in Calahonda.

The apartment itself: 74 m², two bedrooms, two bathrooms, fourth floor with a lift and nobody above you. What makes it is what's outside: a covered terrace off the living room with an awning and a heater, so it works in January and not just August, and above that a solarium with a retractable pergola, a full outdoor kitchen with sink and plancha, an outdoor shower, and an uninterrupted 180° view over the Mediterranean.

Counted properly that's over 100 m² of private outdoor space against 74 m² inside. On this coast that's the whole point.

Gated urbanisation with a pool and mature gardens. Underground parking and a separate storeroom included. Five minutes to the beach on foot.

Why listing with five agencies gets you less, not more.

Sellers on the Costa del Sol usually assume an open mandate is the safer
choice. More agencies, more shop windows, more buyers. It sounds obviously true.

In practice it works the other way round.

When five agencies hold the same property, none of them can justify
spending money on it. Professional photography, video, a proper campaign —
that's a real invoice, and four of the five agencies will never see a cent
back. So nobody pays. The villa ends up marketed on whatever the agent
could shoot on his phone between viewings.

You also get five different valuation prices, because each agency quotes the
number it thinks will win your signature rather than the number the market
will actually pay. Buyers see the same house at three prices and draw the
obvious conclusion: this seller is under pressure. They bid accordingly.

An exclusive mandate reaches exactly the same buyers, through exactly the
same co-broking network. One price, checked against the deeds. Photography
and video that someone has actually paid for. And one person/agency responsible for
the outcome.

Fewer agencies. More effort. Better price.

37.01% of every home sold in Málaga province last quarter was bought by a foreign buyer.

That number gets posted a lot round here. What nobody says is the part that actually matters if you own something and you're thinking about selling: foreign demand is not one crowd. It sorts by postcode.

Above €3 million in the Golden Triangle, about 42% of demand is international. Americans lead Marbella, with the British and Germans level behind at 11% each. Germans dominate Benahavís, British second. Estepona goes British first, on 15% of demand.

And on my stretch of the coast — Marbella East, Calahonda, Mijas, Manilva — Dutch and Belgian buyers make up as much as 15% of every international transaction in the province. €300–800k for apartments and townhouses, €1.5M and up for villas. In my experience they decide fast and they don't haggle much when the price is honest.

So here's the practical bit. If you're listing in Elviria, Los Monteros or Calahonda this autumn and your property exists in English only, on one portal, you're marketing past the person most likely to buy it.

I'm Belgian. I sell in Dutch, French and English, and our agents also speak Spanish, German, Italian and Albanian. We reply on evenings and weekends.

€1.2M looks... until you hear the real number. 👀

We had to double-check this one ourselves.
This villa in Coín has floor-to-ceiling windows flooding every room with light, a private pool that becomes the heart of the home, and space you simply don’t get on the coast anymore.

Ask us what a villa like this costs in La Cala? Minimum €1.2M.
Marbella? You’re not getting in under €2M.

This one? €759.000.
Same design. Same quality. Same 30 minutes to both La Cala and Marbella.

At this price, this villa isn’t just a good deal… it’s a steal. 🔑

📍 Coín, Costa del Sol
🏊 Private pool | ☀️ Floor-to-ceiling windows | 🚗 30 min to Marbella & La Cala

Thinking about Elviria? Read this before you book the viewing.
We get the same five questions every single week — so we filmed the answers.

1. The beach restaurants people actually go to 🌊
2. How far the sea is from our new listing (closer than you’d guess)
3. Where to do the boring stuff — groceries, pharmacy, the school run
4. The international schools within 10 minutes
5. Golf. Obviously.

Comment “ELVIRIA” and we’ll send you the full area guide + the listing details.
