The real estate market on the Costa Brava continues to show a clear imbalance between strong demand and limited supply, particularly in highly sought-after coastal towns such as Begur, Palafrugell, Platja d’Aro and Cadaqués.
Demand remains high among both national and international buyers, drawn by the area’s quality of life, natural surroundings and exclusive character. Interest in residential property along the Catalan coast continues to grow, especially in the second-home and real estate investment segments

In contrast, supply is not keeping pace. A shortage of available land, strict urban planning regulations aimed at protecting the territory, and rising construction costs are slowing the entry of new properties onto the market. This situation is creating constant upward pressure on prices, both for sales and rentals.
Official data confirms this trend. Housing prices in the Girona region have shown sustained growth in recent years, particularly in coastal areas

This imbalance directly affects access to housing, especially for permanent residents, young people and families looking to settle in the area. At the same time, it raises an important debate about the need to increase housing supply without compromising the landscape, identity and environmental value of the Costa Brava.
Experts agree that restoring balance between supply and demand will require long-term planning, more agile administrative processes and stronger public-private collaboration. Until then, the Costa Brava real estate market will continue to operate under pressure, with a balance that, for now, still fails to arrive.
