The latest property market data confirms what we've long known at Valencia Property: We're the undisputed leader when it comes to helping American buyers find their perfect home in Valencia.
Whether you're searching for a spacious house in the leafy suburbs of L'Eliana or a vibrant apartment in the heart of Ruzafa and Ensanche, our agency consistently delivers more successful purchases for American clients than all other agencies combined. Yes you heard that right, ALL OF THE OTHERS COMBINED. You can see our previous post about this here. Our position has now been cemented even further.
How Do We Know?
There is a new, more reliable, portal for finding out data about property sales in Spain. It's provided by the Notaries Association themselves and as all property sales need to be signed before a notary, not only do they include all completed sales rather than just properties for sale, they also include the declared final pricing rather than asking prices. The information that you can get from property portals such as Idealista, Fotocasa etc... only includes asking prices and is therefore skewed by nutters (those whose price is astronomically ridiculous) and scams (properties that are underpriced because they don't exist or are just there as bait to get your details). If you are in Spain, or behind a VPN in other parts of the World you can see the Notaries' page here.
City Living: Our Strong Position in Ruzafa and Ensanche
The appeal of Valencia's urban lifestyle is compelling for American buyers. The fact that you can live without a car and the city is safe, welcoming and walkable are huge plus points. In the trendy neighbourhoods of Ruzafa and Ensanche (postal code 46004), Americans constitute the largest single group of foreign purchasers, representing an remarkable 35.71% of all international buyers.
Valencia Property's expertise extends seamlessly into these sought-after city districts. We facilitated 50% of all apartment sales to Americans in Ruzafa and Ensanche in the last year, making us the single largest agency serving American clients in these premier urban locations. With average apartment prices at €712,015 and properties averaging 180m², so just under €4000 per square metre, these neighbourhoods offer the perfect blend of authentic Spanish culture and modern amenities that American buyers seek. Not to mention cafe society, pubs, a huge range of restaurants and excellent shopping.
Dominating the Suburban Market: L'Eliana's American Connection
L'Eliana has emerged as the prime destination for international buyers, with 26.7% of all property transactions in the past year involving foreign purchasers. Within this international community, Americans represent a significant presence, accounting for 14.29% of all foreign buyers in the municipality.
What's particularly striking is Valencia Property's market dominance in this sector. We handled an impressive 80% of all property sales to American buyers in L'Eliana, leaving all other agencies combined with just 20% of the buyers' market. This isn't just market leadership, it's market dominance built on trust, expertise, and results.
With villas and townhouses sold in L'Eliana over the past year at an average price of €411,631, the suburb offers excellent value for American families seeking spacious homes with gardens, proximity to international schools, and easy metro access to Valencia city centre. This is without mentioning as above the excellent dining options, great shopping and in this case, excellent parks. Read more about L'Eliana below by clicking on the image.
Why Americans Choose Valencia Property
Our consistent market leadership isn't accidental. American buyers trust Valencia Property because we understand their unique needs and concerns when purchasing property abroad. Here's what sets us apart:
Bilingual Excellence: Our team includes native English speakers who understand American expectations, the role of the realtor as a buyers agent and Spanish property law as well as the state of the market. This ensures smooth communication throughout the entire purchase process.
Market Knowledge: Whether you're drawn to L'Eliana's family-friendly suburbs or the artistic energy of Ruzafa or indeed any other parts of Valencia and its suburbs, we possess unmatched local knowledge of Valencia's diverse neighbourhoods. We have written extensively about the neighbourhoods of Valencia and the suburbs on this blog.
End-to-End Service: From initial viewings through to obtaining your NIE number, opening bank accounts, currency transfers and managing legal documentation with our recommended lawyers, we provide comprehensive support that American buyers particularly value.
Investment Insight: We help American clients understand not just the lifestyle benefits but also the investment potential of Valencia property, including rental yields and capital appreciation prospects.
Cultural Bridge: We serve as cultural interpreters, helping American buyers navigate Spanish bureaucracy, understand local customs, and integrate smoothly into their new communities.
Valencia's Growing American Community
The statistics reflect a broader trend. Valencia is increasingly becoming a destination of choice for Americans seeking European residency. The combination of excellent weather, affordable cost of living, high-quality healthcare, and superb infrastructure makes Valencia particularly attractive to American families, retirees, and even, say it quietly, digital nomads.
The strong showing of American buyers, ranking as the top foreign nationality in central Valencia and maintaining a significant presence in suburban areas, demonstrates the city and region's appeal across different lifestyle preferences.

Villa of the Week. L'Eliana 895k
Great corner house in a tranquil urbanisation on the Ribarroja side of L’Eliana, overlooking a playground and a garden area. This is a very impressive property, large and spacious and of a high quality.
On the edge of the urbanisation, the Turia river park is only 5 minutes walk from this house, and just across the playground is the bus stop to take you into L’Eliana town and metro connection to the city.
Space and light is the theme throughout, on the ground floor a large living area connects with the kitchen and there is natural light everywhere. The kitchen is beautiful, with a central island and top quality finishes. On the same floor is a toilet and a room that could be an office or a study.
Upstairs the master bedroom offers an en suite bathroom and dressing room, along with three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom.
Needless to say, the house is in fantastic condition, built a little over twenty years ago, and has already been renovated and modernised, for example solar panels have been installed.
Downstairs there is a garage with plenty of space for a couple of cars and there is also a very large living space, perhaps for guests, with bedroom, living room, kitchen, and full bathroom, providing complete independence. Good for the guests, good for you!
Equally, the exterior of the house is just as classy. A great pool, a summer kitchen with paellero and enough garden to give a shaded corner and a few splashes of green but not enough to be a headache to maintain.
Really there is only one immediate neighbour to worry about, and they are amazing. You’ll just have to take my word for that, but let’s just say this wouldn’t be the first house we’ve sold on this street, this part of L’Eliana/Ribarroja has always been very popular for our clients.
So get in touch and we’ll send on some more information, including more photos so you can really appreciate the quality of this property
