How to Work Out What Your Home Is Worth: 7 Factors That Change the Price <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The neighbourhood average is only the starting point. To <strong>value a home in M\u00e1laga<\/strong> properly, you need to adjust that price to the specific features of the property: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\ud83d\udccd <strong>Micro-location:<\/strong> the beachfront is not the same as three streets inland, nor is a quiet street the same as a busy avenue. Within the same district, prices can vary by more than 30%. <\/li><li>\ud83c\udf05 <strong>Views and orientation:<\/strong> sea views and a south-facing orientation can add between 10% and 25% to the value.<\/li><li>\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f <strong>Condition and renovation:<\/strong> a home that needs renovating usually sells for 10% to 20% less than a renovated one in the same area.<\/li><li>\ud83c\udfe2 <strong>Floor, lift and light:<\/strong> a penthouse or a high floor with a lift is worth more than an interior ground-floor flat.<\/li><li>\ud83c\udfca <strong>Extras:<\/strong> a terrace, pool, parking space and storage room carry huge weight on the Costa del Sol, especially for international buyers.<\/li><li>\u26a1 <strong>Energy efficiency:<\/strong> a good energy rating, efficient air conditioning or solar panels make the home more attractive and easier to finance.<\/li><li>\ud83d\udcd1 <strong>Legal status:<\/strong> licences in order, legalised extensions and no charges on the property avoid last-minute price cuts. A rented home or one with registry issues is worth less to most buyers. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-ejemplo-practico-cuanto-vale-un-piso-de-90-m2-en-teatinos\">\ud83e\uddee 5. Worked Example: What a 90 m\u00b2 Apartment in Teatinos Is Worth <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine a 90 m\u00b2 apartment in Teatinos. With the district\u2019s average price (\u20ac3,987\/m\u00b2), the starting point would be around \u20ac358,800.

That is why you should not set the price based only on the neighbourhood average or an automatic calculator. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-precio-de-oferta-precio-de-venta-y-valor-de-referencia\">\u26a0\ufe0f 6. Asking Price, Sale Price and Cadastral Reference Value <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Portal prices are <strong>asking prices<\/strong>: what sellers ask for, not what is finally signed before the notary. In practice, most sales close after negotiating the price down, and the longer a home has been listed, the bigger the discount. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a third value you should know: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sedecatastro.gob.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cadastre\u2019s reference value<\/a>. It is not the market price, but the Spanish Tax Agency uses it as the minimum base for some taxes on the sale. If you are going to sell, it is also worth calculating in advance how much you will pay in municipal capital gains tax and income tax; we explain it in <a href=\"https:\/\/whymalaga.com\/en\/2026\/09\/real-estate\/how-to-sell-your-house-malaga-strategies-international-buyers\/\">how to sell your house in M\u00e1laga<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-como-conseguir-una-valoracion-profesional-sin-exponer-tu-c\">\ud83d\udd12 7. How to Get a Professional Valuation Without Exposing Your Home <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Online calculators give a useful range, but they do not see your views, your renovation or the real buyer demand for your type of home. A professional valuation cross-checks asking prices with <strong>real completed sales in your area<\/strong> and with the buyers currently looking for something like your home. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if you value discretion, you do not need to list your home on any portal to find out what it is worth or to sell it. At Why Malaga we carry out <a href=\"https:\/\/whymalaga.com\/en\/sell-property-off-market-malaga\/\">confidential valuations and off market sales<\/a>: we present your home only to verified buyers who sign a non-disclosure agreement, with no signboards or adverts. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"preguntas-frecuentes-cuanto-vale-mi-casa-en-malaga\">\u2753 FAQ: How Much Is My House Worth in M\u00e1laga?<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cuanto-vale-el-metro-cuadrado-en-malaga-en-2026\">How much does a square metre cost in M\u00e1laga in 2026?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In September 2026, the average asking price in M\u00e1laga city was \u20ac3,969\/m\u00b2, according to idealista, up 4.1% over the year.
