Why autumn 2026 is the best time to negotiate

Sellers who listed their property in spring or early summer and have not yet sold have been waiting for months. According to Idealista data, 14% of properties for sale in Spain reduced their asking price in Q1 2026, up from 11% in the same period of 2025. This is not a price crash — it is a market maturing, where sellers with unrealistic expectations are adjusting toward reality.

What to prepare before making an offer

Price per square metre reference: Calculate the price per m² of the property and compare it against recent transactions for similar properties in the same urbanisation. In Torrevieja, the average apartment price is around €2,500–€2,600/m². In Guardamar del Segura, €2,600–€2,750/m². In Orihuela Costa, €2,700–€3,000/m².

Time on market: Ask your agent how long the property has been listed and whether there have been previous price reductions. Under two weeks on market — little room. Over 60 days — motivated seller.

Nota simple from the Land Registry: Shows ownership, debts and mortgages. An inheritance sale typically offers more flexibility than a recent purchase at market price.

Actual condition: Inspect electrical installation, plumbing, joinery, appliances, air conditioning, terrace. Get renovation quotes from local contractors. A property needing €15,000 in works gives you concrete justification for a 7–8% lower offer.

ITP at 9% — an extra saving from June 2026

If you close in autumn 2026, remember that ITP for resale property in the Valencian Community is now 9% (down from 10% since June 2026). On a €200,000 property, that is €18,000 ITP — €2,000 less than before. Combined with a 5% price reduction, total savings can be €10,000–€15,000 compared to buying earlier in the year.
