Cerros del Águila Properties for Sale

Mijas and Estepona accounted for almost half of the new-home permits issued across Málaga’s coastal municipalities in 2025. Fresh 2026 construction data show why the Costa del Sol’s new-build map is shifting — and what that means for buyers.

In seven core Costa del Sol markets, 89 of 205 live Domosmar developments had an advertised entry point at or below €500,000 on 26 August 2026. Mijas offers the broadest choice, Estepona the deepest supply and Manilva the most space on current asking-price arithmetic.

Mijas is the only municipality on the Costa del Sol where a donkey holds a working licence — and the burro-taxis of its white hill village are the most misleading thing about it. Behind the postcard sits a sprawling town that runs from 430 metres down to twelve kilometres of coast, holding three distinct property markets and prices a clear step below Marbella. This is a 2026 buyer''s guide to where the value actually sits.
