Market notes autumn 2026: what Swedish buyers ask for

By Marie Segerholm · Published

A selection of what we see in enquiries right now. These are qualitative observations from our buyer conversations – not official statistics.

More want to live without a car

Walking distance to beach, services and train is a recurring wish, favouring central locations in Fuengirola, Benalmádena and Estepona's old town.

Golf still decides

For many buyers 55+, proximity to golf drives the choice, with Nueva Andalucía and Estepona's golf areas the most common requests.

Security before price

Questions about legal checks, NIE and independent advice come earlier in the process than before. Buyers want to understand the whole chain before viewing.
