Apartment prices in Mijas

Between the cheapest and the dearest zone the cost of apartment in Mijas nearly doubles. As of July 2026 the municipality averages €4,463 per square metre.

The upper rows work in an unexpected way: the mountain village is valued above the seaside quarter. Buyers pay for the panorama of the coast and the status of the historic centre rather than for minutes on foot to the water.

Inside one zone, flats in Mijas are priced by floor area, storey and whether the residence has a pool. The median transaction across the town runs at €365,000 — a two-bedroom home of around 80 m².

Compulsory costs come on top. Resale housing is taxed at the flat Andalusian rate of 7%; for off-plan property VAT and stamp duty together reach 11.2%. Fees for the notary, the registry entry and the legal review make up another 1–2%.

Listing cards convert the amount into several currencies as a guide, while the reservation, the contract and the settlement at the notary are all made in euros.

The lowest budgets are served by cheap property in Mijas.

Trends and price forecast for apartments in Mijas

This market grows more evenly than its neighbours: compact homes gained 12.28% over the year, spacious ones 11.64%. Elsewhere along the coast the gap between those groups reaches tenfold.

Supply is plentiful — more than 5,200 properties of all types are listed at once. Buyers have plenty to compare, and sellers usually give ground on anything that has been on the market for over six months.

New construction has moved away from the shore and up the slope. Plots by the water have effectively run out, so fresh schemes appear near the village and the golf courses, where land is still available.

Lending conditions remain comfortable, with average mortgage rates near 2.9% a year. Andalusia has not touched its tax scale since 2021, so transaction costs can be calculated in advance.
