Correctly priced property often sells within 1–6 months. In popular areas like Marbella, over 50% of properties sell in under 3 months. After the reservation agreement is signed, the transaction process usually takes an additional 4–6 weeks.
The two biggest factors affecting the speed of sale are pricing and preparation. Overpricing is the most common mistake — the property sits on the market for months and eventually sells for less than it would have at the right price from the start. Unprepared documentation is another frequent reason why transactions are delayed or fall through. Professional photography and the right marketing channels (Idealista, Fotocasa, international exposure) also play a key role in how quickly a serious buyer is found.
