Counts come from our live inventory on 2026-06-15. They drift as listings move, so treat the column as a current snapshot.

The 2026 price ladder

Entry-level golf-area apartments start lower than buyers expect because inland Murcia courses (Mosa Trajectum, Avileses, Sucina) trade at a 30-40% discount to the coast. Three bands shape the market.

Entry tier (€78,000 – €180,000)

One- to two-bedroom apartments in inland Murcia, or older Orihuela Costa complexes (La Cañada, Los Balcones). Second- or third-line in most cases (with a road or another building between you and the course). Communal pool, no lift, walking distance to a small commercial centre. Fits a retiree, part-time owner, no rental ambition.

Three concrete picks from our current inventory in this band:

• WES-2429 – 1-bed Avileses apartment, €78,000. 45 m², the cheapest Murcia-inland anchor close to El Valle Golf.
• WES-2429C – 3-bed Avileses apartment, €139,000. 96 m², same complex as WES-2429, family-sized.
• WES-18039-rev – 2-bed Torrevieja apartment, €129,900. 59 m², 20 min to Villamartín or Las Ramblas.

Mid tier (€180,000 – €350,000)

Two- to three-bedroom apartments and small townhouses in newer Orihuela Costa complexes (Punta Prima Golf Resort, El Raso new builds), or detached two-bed bungalows in Algorfa near La Finca. Second-line in most cases but with a shared lawn or pathway to the fairway. Lifts standard, on-site security variable. Sweet spot for a primary residence or a long-term let.

Three concrete picks:

• WG-16 – 1-bed Algorfa penthouse, €159,000 ★ featured. 53 m², own-stock, 3 minutes from La Finca Golf clubhouse.
• WES-2227 – 2-bed Algorfa apartment, €158,202. 67 m², two-bed in the same La Finca cluster.
• WES-2402K – 3-bed San Miguel apartment, €190,000. 88 m², family-sized close to Las Colinas.

Premium tier (€350,000 – €1.5M+)

First-line villas on La Finca, Las Colinas, La Sella or Sierra Cortina. Private pools, gated access, three or four bedrooms. Owners get reduced green fees (€25-€45 per round vs €60-€95 visitor rates) but no included membership.

Our active stock today does not include first-line villas on La Finca or Las Colinas. The partner network covers entry and mid tier. For a first-line build, send us the search brief before you contact a developer directly. We typically price-check a developer offer against five comparable resales inside the same complex within 48 hours.

What "first line" actually buys

First line means the property directly borders the fairway with nothing built between the boundary wall and the course. The premium over a comparable off-fairway home in the same complex runs 20-35% in our market. A typical spread: €280,000 first-line versus €210,000 second-line for the same two-bed apartment in Villamartín.

Two small costs offset some of that premium:

• Window protection. First-line homes catch stray balls more often than buyers expect. Reinforced glass on the course-facing facade adds €1,200-€2,800 once.
• Insurance. Building cover on a first-line home runs €40-€80/year more than off-course (insurers price the documented breakage rate in).

Set against the resale spread, both are noise. The line where first-line bites is cold-month wind: nothing blocks the easterly breeze coming off the fairway in January and February. Year-round residents should walk the boundary in winter before they offer.

Community fees, the line buyers get wrong

The headline price is half the question. Service charges (cuota de comunidad) and the IBI (council tax) shape the real monthly cost. Indicative bands from our recent transactions:

Build profile	Monthly comunidad	Annual IBI (Orihuela Costa, ~€90k cadastral value)
60 m² apartment, small complex with pool only (Algorfa, older Torrevieja)	€60-€80	€450-€700
110 m² townhouse, shared gardens + security gate (Villamartín, Punta Prima)	€130-€180	€700-€950
200 m² detached villa, private pool + shared lake/paddle/jogging (La Finca, Las Colinas)	€180-€260	€1,100-€1,800

Two cautions before you sign:

• Read the comunidad budget for the past two years, not just the current year. Large complexes vote occasional special levies (€800-€2,000 one-off) for pool resurfacing, road repaving or new pumping equipment. The seller is not required to disclose a future vote, but the minutes of the last annual meeting are open to any prospective owner on request.
• Check for arrears. Spanish law makes the new owner liable for outstanding community debt from the previous year plus the current year. Your lawyer pulls the certificado de estar al corriente before notary, but request it early so a problem does not surface at the last minute.

Green fees and the small print

Property-linked discounts vary by course and the rules matter:

• La Finca and Las Colinas. Reduced green fees for the registered owner and one named partner. No included annual membership. Visitor rate €60-€95 a round; owner rate €25-€45 depending on day and season.
• Roda Golf (Murcia). Property-linked annual membership for the head of household, transferable on resale. A real selling point of this resort.
• Villamartín, Las Ramblas, Campoamor. Each course is independent. None offer property-owner discounts. You pay visitor rates.
• Mosa Trajectum, Altorreal. Resort-style integrated memberships are common, but check whether membership transfers on resale or expires.

Read the comunidad statutes for golf privileges before you offer. A flat "yes you get discounted golf" from the selling agent is not enforceable unless the statute names the course and the discount.

Short-term rental: licensing and yield

Short-term holiday rental on a golf-area property needs a Vivienda de Uso Turístico (VUT) registration. Two regulations cover our area:

• Comunidad Valenciana (Orihuela, Torrevieja, Pilar de la Horadada, Algorfa, Costa Blanca North): Decreto 92/2009 plus Decreto 9/2024. Online application, fee around €70, decision in 4-6 weeks. The local town hall must not have declared a moratorium (Valencia city has; the southern coastal towns have not as of 2026-06).
• Región de Murcia (Mar Menor towns, inland Murcia): Decreto 75/2005 plus regional registration. Slightly faster turnaround (3-4 weeks), similar fee.

One trap: some new-build Orihuela Costa complexes have comunidad statutes forbidding short-term rental. The statute overrides the regional VUT licence. Confirm with the administrador de fincas before you offer if rental is part of your plan.

Realistic yield numbers for a 2-bed apartment with a VUT licence on the September-April golf season:

Line	Amount	Note
High season nightly (Oct-Apr)	€85-€140	Weekly rental, longer stays
Low season nightly (May-Sep, hot/no-golf months)	€55-€90	Beach demand for some towns, weak elsewhere
Annual occupancy (Orihuela Costa)	140-180 nights	Lower inland
Gross annual rent (€110 avg × 160 nights)	~€17,600	Indicative
On a €240,000 purchase	~7.3% gross	Before any cost
After 25% all-in costs (comunidad, IBI, management, maintenance, vacancy)	~5.5% net before tax	Non-resident IRNR 24% on top

These are 2026 working numbers for an apartment with good photos, a 4.5+ Booking/Airbnb rating, and active calendar management. Self-managed and under-photographed listings hit nearer 80-110 nights and 3.8% net.

For a quieter long-term let on a contrato de arrendamiento de vivienda, the same property pulls €750-€1,000/month, gross yield around 4.0-4.5%, much steadier net.
