Ibiza Property Market 2025: Opportunities and Insights

Ibiza is not only a world renowned tourist destination but also a top choice for international buyers seeking family homes, holiday retreats, or solid investments. The island’s mild climate, stunning beaches, vibrant atmosphere, unique character, excellent schools, and high standard of living all contribute to strong, ongoing demand.

Despite a slight cooling in sales during 2023–2024, the market has shown remarkable resilience. Limited supply and strong demand, particularly for luxury properties, have kept prices rising. In fact, while Balearic Islands sales fell by around 2.5% in 2024, average home prices increased by 9.4%, the highest in Spain.

Today, Ibiza’s property market is shifting from the frenzy of 2021–2022 towards a more balanced pace. Yet prices remain historically high, and prime properties are still selling quickly, often within months. Experts advise that now remains a favourable moment for owners to capitalise on strong values before any adjustments occur.

Selling your property in Ibiza with a trusted and reputable agency

Choosing the right real estate agent is essential. A knowledgeable, reputable professional who understands the local market can greatly increase your chances of a smooth and successful sale. With so many agencies and independent agents on the island, it helps to keep the following in mind:

  • Professional credentials: Make sure your agent is properly qualified, with relevant education, certifications, and liability insurance.
  • Official registration: Since November 2024, all agents in the Balearic Islands must be registered in the official regional registry. This regulation helps protect consumers from unqualified operators, so always ask for an agent’s registration number.
  • Reputation and experience: Choose an established agency with years of local experience and positive references. A seasoned agent is more likely to price your property correctly and find a reliable buyer.
  • Local and international reach: Ibiza attracts an international buyer pool. Your agent should combine regional expertise with strong international marketing and networks to maximise exposure.

Working with a trusted, well connected agency ensures your property sells faster and at the best price, while also taking the stress out of viewings, negotiations, and paperwork.

How Property Prices Are Determined in Ibiza’s Real Estate Market

To achieve the best return when selling your property, setting the right asking price from the start is essential. We recommend basing it on a professional valuation from an experienced Ibiza agent. The island’s market is highly segmented, and values can vary significantly depending on factors such as property type, location, view, condition, and current buyer demand.

Key elements that influence your property’s value include:

  • Location: Homes in prime areas, such as frontline sea views, command higher prices. Properties inland or in less prestigious zones may be valued lower. Proximity to beaches, scenic views, and neighbourhood reputation also matter.
  • Property type and features: A modern villa or restored finca usually achieves a higher price per square metre than a standard apartment. Features like a pool, large plot, privacy, or architectural character can add significant value.
  • Condition and amenities: Turnkey properties in excellent condition are often priced at a premium, while homes needing renovation or lacking amenities are valued more conservatively. Buyers in Ibiza, particularly at the upper end, pay more for quality finishes and immediate availability.
  • Market conditions: Supply and demand at the time of sale will affect your achievable price. Scarcity of similar properties can push prices up, while softer demand requires more realistic pricing.

In 2024, the average price in Ibiza was around €7,300 per m², with a wide range: from about €5,000 per m² to €15,000–€17,000 per m² for the most exclusive properties. Apartments averaged roughly €6,500 per m², while villas and estates often exceeded €10,000 per m². This highlights how much location and property characteristics matter.

A professional valuation is vital to capture these variables and set a competitive price that attracts buyers while maximising your return. Contact us for a free valuation, our dedicated team will offer a reliable assessment with no strings attached, informed by the latest market trends.


Selling property in Spain involves several legal steps, as well as specific taxes and costs. Every sale must be formalised with a public deed signed before a notary, who verifies that the property is free of debts, the paperwork is correct, and the title is properly registered. If you cannot attend the signing, a Power of Attorney can be arranged. You will also need to provide an Energy Performance Certificate and other supporting documents.

Given the complexity, most sellers choose to work with a qualified lawyer who can prepare the forms, manage tax filings, and even represent you if you are not on the island. Key taxes and costs for sellers:

  • Municipal Capital Gains Tax: A local tax on the increase in land value during your ownership, capped at 20 years. If you sell at a loss, no tax applies.
  • Capital Gains Tax (CGT): Charged on the profit from your sale. Rates vary depending on whether you are resident or non-resident, with possible exemptions or deductions.
  • 3% withholding for non-residents: Buyers must withhold 3% of the purchase price and pay it directly to the tax office. This is offset against your final CGT bill.
  • Professional fees: The seller usually pays the agency commission a percentage of the sale price and legal fees (often around 1%). If there is a mortgage, banks may charge a small cancellation fee.

Although the process can seem complex, with the right support it is very manageable. If you’d like to know more about property taxes, our Ibiza Real Estate Tax Guide 2025 offers a clear overview of the key costs and legal requirements.

    You might wonder if you even need an estate agent to sell your Ibiza property – and the answer is: No, you don’t – but you’ll wish you did. It’s not difficult to put up a sales sign and list your property on online portals such as Fotocasa and Idealista.

    Selling Property in Ibiza and Home Evaluation

    Getting ready to sell your home in Ibiza and preparing for an evaluation 

    Getting a real estate expert to assess your property’s real market value can help you set a realistic sales price, prepare your property to an optimal selling standard, and sell more quickly. 

    When a realtor visits your property for a valuation, he or she will conduct an inspection to identify any potential issues that may surface during the buyer’s viewing and to forecast a realistic and competitive price for your property. 

    An experienced real estate agent knows how important presentation is for marketing your property effectively and can offer the best advice on how to portray it. Taking these simple steps will optimise your property’s chance of a decent valuation and quick sale:

    1. (un)Dress the home – remove all personal items, declutter and leave it as minimalistic as possible; add mirrors and plants; redecorate in neutral colours; have it as light as possible; remove any signs of pets or sources of unpleasant smells.
    2. Do the repairs – address any minor repairs or maintenance issues. A well-maintained home is more appealing to buyers.
    3. First impressions matter – ensure your home’s well-maintained exterior, with trimmed lawns, clean driveways, freshly painted façades and attractive landscaping.
    4. Professional photos & videos – Market your property well: have the most impressive presentation by taking the highest quality possible photos and videos to promote your property in its most appealing light (this is often included in the service of a professional real estate agency, especially when you sign an exclusive sales mandate).

    Knowing the legal requirements and having your property’s documentation prepared will ensure that things will run smoothly and fast, with no unpleasant surprises either for the buyer or yourself. 

    The following is a summary of the information required from the seller in preparation for the signature of the title deed (and ideally already in preparation for placing the property for sale so that potential buyers can have quick answers to questions related to the property’s documentation). 

    Ideally, you will have: 

    • The Title Deeds to the property
    • Cédula de Habitabilidad (Valid)
    • Licencia and/or Final de Obra
    • Receipts for the local municipal property tax (impuesto sobre bienes inmuebles or IBI)
    • Copies of latest utility bills
    • Details of the community statutes (for apartments and gated communities) 
    • A list of any items of furniture, etc, which will be included in the sale
    • Your residencia card if you have residency status or NIE
    • An Official Energy Certificate (Certificado de Eficiencia Energetica) 

    All these documents will help us understand your property’s legal situation, which will both help and impact the valuation process.

    Getting a Realistic and Fair Evaluation for Your Ibiza Property

    In our role as professional real estate agents in Ibiza, we will compare your property with properties that have been SOLD within the last six months with similar attributes. Market prices are always based on final sales prices. We never compare with properties that are still for sale. A slightly higher price can be tested first and adjusted if needed depending on the owner’s personal idea or timeframe. Keeping a bit of a negotiation margin in mind is also a good idea since clients often like to haggle –– but being open to what the market is willing to offer is always recommended especially if you want things to move faster and not drag on endlessly, risking also that your property will lose its value over time due to overexposure on the market.
