What the registry says, and what we read into it
There are two things here, and they are kept apart on purpose: the figures published by the Spanish College of Property Registrars, which you can check in the very PDF we read, and our reading of them, which is an opinion and is labelled as one.
of all home purchases in the province of Alicante were made by a foreign buyer in the second quarter of 2026. It is the highest share in Spain, up 1.78 points in a single quarter.
is the Spanish average for the same quarter, and it is an all-time high. Alicante is close to three times that.
Every market figure on this site carries its source beside it, and this one is no exception. The scenarios with numbers on some pages are calculations, not results: they always separate the published figure from our own assumption. We do not publish client results that are not our own.

Everything below is in the Property Registry Statistics for the second quarter of 2026, published by the Colegio de Registradores. The link to the PDF is above, next to the two large figures.
Alicante was the Spanish province with the highest share of home purchases by foreign buyers: 46.43 %, ahead of Malaga (37.01 %), the Balearic Islands (32.27 %) and Santa Cruz de Tenerife (32.25 %). In a single quarter it rose 1.78 points.
The Spanish average for the quarter was 15.98 %, an all-time high, with slightly more than 26,800 purchases. The nationalities weighing most among foreign buyers were the United Kingdom (6.99 %), the Netherlands (6.94 %), Germany (6.11 %), Morocco (6.09 %), Romania (5.70 %), Italy (5.13 %) and France (4.97 %). European Union buyers accounted for 57.39 % of those purchases.
By volume, Alicante recorded 12,298 home purchases in the quarter, the third province in Spain after Madrid (19,274) and Barcelona (17,653). Of those 12,298, new-build accounted for 2,161, down 4.6 % on the previous quarter.
Over the last twelve months Alicante totals 51,392 home purchases, down 5.3 % year on year, of which 9,348 are new-build, down 6.5 %.
This is no longer a figure: it is what we infer
New-build in Alicante is not falling for want of buyers. Foreign demand is at an all-time high and the province leads Spain on international buyer share. New-build transactions are falling while the foreign share is rising: two curves going in opposite directions, and that gap is the ground we work on.
Almost one in two purchases in the province is made by somebody whose first language is not Spanish, and the leading nationalities are British, Dutch, German, Romanian, Italian and French. A development whose website, specification and campaigns exist only in Spanish is out of the conversation for half the market before it starts.
That is why this site is in five languages, and why the first question we ask a developer is which languages they can answer in when an enquiry arrives. Publishing in five languages and replying in one achieves nothing.
This is a reading, not a promise. It does not say that translating sells more homes: it says that without the language you do not get into that half of the market.
Not one client result, and here is why
HolaDomus is a young brand. We do not yet have a development marketed from start to finish whose numbers we can show with written permission, and we are not going to fill that gap with another agency’s case or a percentage with no source.
What you can check today: this site, built by us, with 250 pages published in five languages and its site plan open; and every market figure on it, with its source linked beside it.
The day there is a development of our own with results and with permission to tell them, it will be told here, with its name and its numbers.
Let us look at your development with these numbers in front of us
Which languages your material is in today, where your enquiries come from, and which part of the market is not seeing you. It is a short conversation and it is held with data, not impressions.
