The published register starts at €350,000. The curated Selection tier starts at €1.5 million. What a budget buys varies widely across that range, and this page answers the question every first-time buyer asks — at my budget, what am I actually looking at? — with what each budget band currently lists for on our register.
Move the slider and the card shows what the register holds in that band on the snapshot date: how many residences are listed, the zones holding most of them, the residence types, and the built area, plot and bedroom count of the middle half of those listings. Nothing in a band is typed by hand; a band the register holds little in says so.
The figures are asking prices of residences currently listed, not sold prices. Spain publishes no per-property closing prices. Published figures are asking prices, each with its sample size and date. Within any band you will find outliers in both directions; a villa on a modest plot can be priced for its position rather than its size. Use the bands as anchors for the conversation, then talk to the desk about your specific brief.
These bands show what is listed on the register, not a guaranteed price or feature set. Within any band, individual residences vary materially on position and condition. Confirm specifics with the desk before structuring a brief.

How the bands are computed.
Each band is computed from the published register when this page is built — the same deduplicated register the Marbella Property Index measures, from the same floor. A residence enters a band when its published asking price falls inside it; residences marketed price-on-application and new developments are not counted.
For every band the page prints the number of residences listed, the zones holding most of them and the residence types, each with its count, and three ranges — built area, plot and bedrooms. Each range is the middle half of the listings that state the value, from the 25th to the 75th percentile, and is withheld where fewer than five listings state it.
Within any band there are outliers in both directions. A villa on a modest plot may be priced for its position rather than its size, and a larger house further inland may ask the same. The ranges show the middle of a band, not its edges.
The slider stops at €30M. The last band holds every residence asking €18M or more; where the register holds few, the count says how few.
The register is refreshed hourly. This page is rebuilt from it at most an hour later, and the snapshot date is printed with the figures. They are asking prices: Spain publishes no per-property closing prices. Published figures are asking prices, each with its sample size and date.

Why does Marbella property cost so much?
Three structural reasons. Land is finite: the protected sierra above, the sea below, and a narrow coastal strip between them. Addresses compound: La Zagaleta, Sotogrande and the Golden Mile have been established for decades. And the climate allows year-round use. No public dataset measures how much each factor adds — that would need closing prices, and Spain publishes none — so this page prints what is asked today rather than an explanation in percentages.
Where does the data behind these bands come from?
From the published register, and from nothing else. The register is compiled from shared listing feeds and deduplicated so that each residence appears once. Each band is computed when this page is built: the residences currently listed with an asking price inside the band, counted by zone and by type, with the middle half of their built areas, plots and bedroom counts. Spain publishes no per-property closing prices. Published figures are asking prices, each with its sample size and date.
