Unlocking Privacy and Potential: Building Your Own Villa in Moraira, Javea, Teulada, or Benissa

The Challenge: Limited Availability of Independent Villas

In Spain's coastal regions, including Moraira, Jávea, Teulada, and Benissa, the demand for independent villas has consistently outpaced supply. According to the Bank of Spain, the country faced a shortfall of between 400,000 and 450,000 homes between 2022 and 2024, with the deficit most pronounced in economically vibrant provinces like Valencia and Alicante. This scarcity is further exacerbated by a mismatch between housing demand and supply, as highlighted by CaixaBank Research. In teh first half of 2025 sales of resales and new build properties has in essence remained static at teh levels of 2024 as there are simply not enough properties to satisfy demand. 

Its not just Estate Agents that are saying this all indicators from Real Estate Portals such as Idelaista, Fotocasa and ThinkSpain show the same challenge. In the face of this shortage, prospective buyers seeking privacy and exclusivity are turning to rustic plots. These expansive lands offer the opportunity to construct bespoke villas tailored to individual preferences, circumventing the limitations of the existing housing market.
