What the phase absorption looks like
Deliveries are the tail end of a 18-24 month build cycle that started in Q1 2024 to Q3 2024 with buyer reservations. By the time the property physically hands over in H2 2026:
- Fully sold at delivery: 62% of unit inventory in Ciudad Quesada, 55% in Los Alcázares.
- Between 30-60% sold: standard Torre-Pacheco corridor and Pilar de la Horadada.
- Below 30% sold at delivery: 4-6% of overall deliveries, concentrated in higher-tier phases and specific developers with slower marketing.
For buyers looking at post-delivery unsold stock: developer discounts of 3-6% typically appear on units remaining unsold 60+ days post-handover. Best window: Q4 2026 for phases handing over in early Q3 2026.
Price analysis
Fastest per-m² growth (H1 2024 to H2 2026 delivery): Ciudad Quesada +14.2%, Los Alcázares +13.5%, Pilar de la Horadada +12.8%. These are the entry-tier and mid-tier clusters where foreign-buyer demand pushed hardest.
Slower growth (still positive): Denia +8.5%, Torre-Pacheco +9.2%. Denia's slower growth reflects the higher price base (€3,720/m² vs €2,780 in Torre-Pacheco).
Best value H2 2026: Torre-Pacheco corridor at €2,780/m² for a 3-bedroom villa on a 200-400 m² plot delivers the most bedroom-per-euro. Los Alcázares at €3,020/m² for a 2-bedroom apartment with pool + gymnasium block services delivers the best full-amenity per-m² value.
Typical new-build buyer flow
- Reservation contract at project launch (usually 18-24 months before delivery). Reservation deposit €3,000-€6,000.
- Purchase contract at foundation phase. Aval bancario delivered. First staged payment 20-25% of purchase price.
- Staged payments at structure and roof phases. 20-30% additional cumulative.
- Final tranche + notary + keys at first-occupation licence (LPO).
Total buyer cash outlay before LPO: 60-80% of purchase price staged across 12-18 months. Balance paid at notary handover.

FAQ
Are H2 2026 new-build deliveries pre-sold or available? Mix. Best clusters (Ciudad Quesada, Los Alcázares) run 55-62% pre-sold. Other clusters 30-60%. Post-delivery unsold stock typically gets 3-6% developer discount 60+ days post-handover.
How long is the typical off-plan wait? 18-24 months from reservation to keys.

Which developer should I use? Depends on the specific phase and location. Wesna coordinates introductions to 2-3 developers per project with a proven aval bancario track record and non-resident-buyer experience.
