You may feel you have seen this before if you are a long time reader of this blog but it's time for an update on what we do because the last time we wrote this was in 2023 and things change (And at the same time they stay the same) This post was prompted a few weeks ago when in our internal WhatsApp group one of the team asked, "Where's that article about all our services again?" That's exactly what happened a few years ago too so I knew it was time to update. We've been working in so many different ways with clients over the last few years and whilst we've written previously about all the services we offer, we reckon a lot of it gets lost because there's just so much information on our blog and main website. It was definitely time to bring it all together in one updated post for 2026-2027 and let's face it, if the team can't find it then what chance have you got?

As with every year we look into the cost of living in Valencia and then compare it with the cost of living where many of our clients are coming from. We use up to date data from Numbeo to provide the reports. Numbeo is a real time platform where people living in the cities report what they are finding for day to day costs, quality of life issues and more. For a numbers nerd like yours truly it's a treasure trove of information. This year for the first time we are also using Perplexity to investigate the results and provide some graphics saving me a lot of time on putting together the comparisons. By the way you can see last year's post here if you want to compare what has changed.

Some people seem to think that estate agents keep back the best properties for themselves or deliberately don't advertise bargains because... well... reasons! They assume that there are many, many more properties for sale than those they can find online and that if only the agent would release the details to them then they could pick up a bargain. They tell us when we say that what they are looking for doesn't exist at the price that, "They have seen the perfect place online". Really? So today we are going to look at the truth behind online listings or the little things you need to look out for in Spanish real estate ads so that you are not caught out by less than 100% clear descriptions.

We've started strongly in what is destined to become an interesting year. Prices are still climbing, the commuter belt is absolutely flying, and from 1 June every resale buyer in the region gets a tax cut that improves the numbers on their purchase. However, don't put off your purchase until that date. Prices will rise by more than the 1% tax reduction between now and then. If you are able to make a deposit now at today's prices and complete after the 1st of June then go for it but many owners will want a quicker completion than that. Nevertheless , I'm pretty sure that there will be no completions in May, they will all wait until after the 1st of June. Let's take a look at what's happening in some of our favourite places. Here's what the data is showing at the moment and why.

It's 11pm. You've got a glass of Rioja, your laptop open, and you're deep into page 17 of Idealista, mentally furnishing a three-bedroom in Ruzafa. We get it. We've helped hundreds of clients who started exactly the same way. And here's the thing: we're not going to tell you to stop. Portals like Idealista, Fotocasa, and Kyero are genuinely useful. They'll give you a sense of what €350,000 buys in the city centre versus the suburbs. They'll teach you the difference between a bajo and an ático, in fact they'll teach you loads of estate agent vocabulary. They're excellent for homework, and we're all for homework, language based and otherwise
