Prime Home Match - Buyer’s Agency Costa Blanca (2026)

24/12/2025

A lot of people move to Spain with one strong belief: life will be much cheaper 💶
Sometimes that is true. Sometimes it is a polite lie the internet tells you.

The real answer is boring: Spain is not universally cheap. It is differently balanced.

Often cheaper:
- Seasonal fruit and vegetables from the market 🥕
- Simple restaurant menus in non tourist areas
- Entertainment, safari parks, kids zones
- Everyday treats like coffee on a terrace

Often the same — or even more expensive:
• International schools and private healthcare
• Imported products, special-diet items and specific brands 🧴
• Labour work, renovations and home services (depending on where you’re from and what prices you’re used to)
• Housing in the most desirable coastal areas (demand drives prices up)

If detailed cost scenarios are what you need, simply type «COST» below and I’ll send you realistic comparisons 📊

The real question is not “is it cheaper” but “what do I get for the same money.”
Maybe your supermarket bill is similar, but you walk to the shop under palm trees instead of driving to a mall. Maybe you spend more on school, but your child grows up bilingual. Maybe you pay more for flights but less for winter clothes.

Where people get into trouble:
- They build a budget for a holiday lifestyle, not real life.
- They assume blogs written ten years ago still match today.
- They forget about one offs: paperwork, furniture, small renovations, car, deposits.
- They move hoping Spain will rescue them from money stress instead of cleaning up their numbers first.

What we do with clients is very simple, but rarely done 🧮
We sit down with your current life, your income and your priorities. Then we map what that would look like in different parts of Costa Blanca: realistic rents or prices to buy, likely monthly costs, school options, commuting, hidden extras.

If you want Spain to be a conscious financial decision, not a blind leap, send us your rough budget and lifestyle. We will help you see where it truly stretches further, and where it does not ✉️

I respect agents.
I really do.

Until I start asking questions —
and realise the seller’s agent knows nothing about the property they’re selling.

The listing says 3 bathrooms.
The photos show 2.
They look identical.
Is it two different bathrooms?
Or the same one twice?
No one knows.

I call — no clear answers.
I ask about debts — no confirmation.
I ask who’s actually selling the property —
the real owner? a relative? a “friend”?
And who will even sign in the end?
Silence.

Emails unanswered.
Calls missed.
No access to the balcony or solarium because “it wasn’t arranged”.
And sometimes I’m told “everything works perfectly”
when the house hasn’t had water or electricity for years.

That’s not a small detail.
That’s a problem.

Not all agents are like this.
Roles are just different.

A seller’s agent sells.
A buyer needs protection.

And when you’re buying from abroad, every mistake costs real money:
flights, hotels, time off work, stress.

A home isn’t a Zara jumper.
It’s a serious investment.

You deserve clarity.
Not nothing, nothing, nothing.

One of the best feelings in my work
is when we can just start.

No long explanations.
No convincing.
No “let me explain why you need this”.

The client already knows what they want
and why they’re hiring an expert.

And honestly — that’s when my soul dances a little 💃

⸻

The truth is:
property buying works very differently depending on the country.

In many countries, an agent is simply unavoidable.
A necessary middle layer.
People don’t expect much — but without an agent, the deal just won’t happen.

In other countries — like the UK, USA, Canada, Australia —
people clearly understand the role of a buyer’s agent.
They value their time, their nerves, and their money.
So they hire someone whose job is to protect their interests and do the work properly.

Spain is a different story.

Here, most agents represent the seller.
They sell their own listings.
Their goal is simple: sell, close, earn commission.

Being a buyer’s agent in Spain means standing slightly against the market.
It means not selling listings — but analysing, filtering, negotiating, and saying no when needed.

That’s why, when a client immediately understands my value,
it’s a big win for me.

No debates.
No pressure.
Just real work.

⸻

Why a buyer’s agent actually matters:

• You save time — a lot of it
• You get a truly personalised property search
• Someone does the heavy lifting for you
• The process is organised and controlled
• You’re supported during the deal — and after it

And if you’re buying abroad?
I genuinely believe it’s essential.

Yes, you can take the risk.
You might meet an agent who truly cares.

But realistically, in Spain, you’ll most likely meet a salesperson —
someone whose job is to sell something, not to protect you.

And that’s exactly why I do what I do.

When there’s trust from day one —
we don’t talk about value.
We just work.

Before moving to Spain, many people carry a very glossy image in their head 🎬

The problem starts when decisions are made from that image — not from how life actually works here.

Here are the expectations I hear most often… and the reality:

Expectation: Sea every day 🏖️

Reality: Only true if you live on the first line. Most people see the sea on weekends. Living by the sea and living near it are different lifestyles — different noise, humidity and prices.

Expectation: Life here is so cheap 💶

Reality: If you come from Northern Europe — many things feel affordable.

If you come from countries where €800–1000 is a normal salary, Spain will not feel cheap. Rent, cars, private healthcare and kids’ activities require planning.

Expectation: I’ll find a job quickly

Reality: Spain has one of the highest unemployment rates in Europe. Salaries are lower, competition is higher. Remote work often saves the plan.

Expectation: I’ll be at the beach / doing sports daily🏋️‍♂️

Reality: The climate helps, but habits travel with you. If you weren’t sporty before, Spain won’t magically change that.

Expectation: I’ll make friends instantly 🤝

Reality: People are warm, but deep friendship still takes time. School choice, neighbourhood and routine shape your future community.

Expectation: “No more depression — sun fixes everything.” ☀️

Reality: Seasonal depression softens here, but expat blues is real: identity shift, loneliness, language fatigue.

If you want a truthful look at expectations vs reality, comment “REAL” and I’ll send a detailed comparison 🪞

How to prepare 🎢

• Decide what you want to keep and what to redesign

• Give yourself more time and money than planned

• Accept that first months are chaotic

Why an honest local voice matters

Someone not trying to sell you a specific listing can tell you:

• which areas are holiday zones vs year-round communities

• how noise, microclimate and schools affect daily life

• which expectations fit your budget — and which don’t 🧾

At Prime Home Match we turn your dream into concrete choices: area, budget, school map, lifestyle. If you want pay less and own more, write to us 🎯

Moving to Spain can absolutely change your life 🌍 But it will not magically fix everything that hurts, stresses or disappoints you.

There is a big difference between moving toward something and running away from something.

What a move will not fix 🧳

- It will not repair a broken relationship by itself.

- It will not erase deep patterns like overworking, people pleasing or avoiding conflict.

- It will not solve money problems if the core issue is unstable income or overspending.

- It will not turn you into a different person overnight.

You bring yourself with you. Your habits, your reactions, your blind spots all fit easily into a suitcase 💼

Want to see the unfiltered version of life on the Costa Blanca? Write “REAL” in the comments and I’ll pass along our detailed perspective 📖

What really changes when you move

- The rhythm of your day: siesta hours, later dinners, more time outside 🌞

- The context around you: different attitudes to work, family, money and free time.

- The environment: more light, more walking, different food, more time in the street instead of the car.

- The social circle: you can choose who is around you.

How to use this fresh start constructively

- Be honest about your reasons.

- Secure a realistic financial runway.

- Discuss expectations with your partner or family.

- Accept that some problems need support, not a new address.

Where buying a home comes in

A property in Spain can be a stable base. But only if expectations are honest.

At Prime Home Match we ask clear questions before searching for homes. We help you choose an area and a property that support real change, not escape.

€50,000 commission
on a €200,000 home.

Yes — we see this often.
And we understand why it works.

For foreign buyers, prices still look “affordable”
when compared to their home country.

A beach within walking distance.
A private pool — plus a community one.
Palm trees, parrots, evergreen gardens.
320 days of sunshine.
People swimming in the sea even in January.

It’s easy to get dazzled.
And that’s when buyers overpay — simply because they don’t know the local market.

Every job deserves to be paid.
Without agents, deals wouldn’t happen.

But selling a €170,000 home for €220,000?
That’s excess.

And adding €50,000 on top of a new build —
when developer commission is already built into the price?
That’s also excess.

We stand for one thing:
buyers should not overpay.

Radical honesty isn’t a slogan for us.
It’s a core value.

Most expats don’t arrive in a new country thinking “this is where I’ll live the rest of my life” 🌍

For many, it feels like a chapter — not the whole book.

In my family, it was different.

I had never been to Spain before moving. Not once.

But I knew — somehow — that I wanted my life here. That I wanted my child to grow up here. That this place would matter to us.

And yet, people around us repeated the same thing: “You’ll spend the money, get tired, and eventually move back.” It wasn’t rude — just their fear projected onto our choice.

But then came the moment everything shifted. It was an ordinary Saturday.

We were hosting our Spanish friends for a barbecue on the terrace 🍷🔥

I didn’t expect that within months we’d have local friends — people who invited us into their culture, their jokes, their food, their weekend rhythms.

They were surprised by how seriously I prepared the dinner — a full table, early start, long meal (our usual style).

They arrived later, with lighter dishes — the Spanish way.

But sitting there, tasting real homemade Spanish food,

sharing our own recipes,

talking about traditions from our countries…

I suddenly realised something: I wasn’t a guest anymore. I was part of something. I had roots here 🌿

Then life started to feel “normal” in the best possible way: Driving a car with Spanish plates

My son going to Spanish daycare

Understanding how to solve daily tasks

Getting the documents sorted

Falling into a routine that felt like mine

That’s when Spain stopped feeling temporary —

and started feeling like home.

If you’re on your own journey of expectations vs reality, and want a clear, honest picture of what life on the Costa Blanca actually feels like, comment REAL and I’ll send you the full in-depth material 🪞

And if you’re ready to build a real life here — not just a holiday escape —

PHM will help you find the home that fits your story 🏡✨

Let’s make a deal. 🤝

This New Year, don’t waste another wish on
“One day I’ll move to Spain…” 🇪🇸✨

No vision boards.
No screenshots saved and forgotten.
No promises to yourself that quietly expire by February.

Living in Spain is not a fantasy.
It’s a sequence of decisions — and the right people helping you make them.

Most dreams die not because they’re unrealistic,
but because people try to do everything alone, get overwhelmed, and stop.

If you want 2026 to be the year you unlock the door to your own home in Spain 🏡,
do it differently.

• Clarity instead of chaos 🧭
• Data instead of guesswork 📊
• Representation instead of agents who don’t reply 📵
• A professional who protects you, not the seller 🛡️

You don’t need more motivation.
You need structure, strategy and someone on your side.

Trust professionals.
Stop postponing your life.

If Spain has been “the plan” for years —
maybe it’s time to make it real.

Happy Friday 💙
Hope your Christmas mood is already switched on ✨

We’ve just had a lovely, very real weekend on the Costa Blanca — and I wanted to share a honest price breakdown for a family of 2 adults + 1 toddler. No luxury, no extremes. Just normal, happy life.

Friday: Alicante 🎄
We drove to Alicante to see the Christmas lights and decorations.
• Christmas ride by the tree — €5 per person (€15 for the family, optional)
• Coffee stop + pastries at a bakery — €15 (2 coffees + 3 buns)
• Petrol Alicante ↔ Orihuela Costa — €50

Walking the city, lights everywhere, people outside, festive music — zero pressure, pure atmosphere.

Saturday: La Zenia Boulevard 🎶
Free concerts, clowns, kids’ shows, tasting stands (cakes, nuts, dried fruits — all free).
Our spend?
• One glass of wine while our toddler played — €2.50

That’s it.
Atmosphere: 10/10
Photo spots everywhere, families, music, life.
A must if you’re visiting or living here.

Sunday: Our favourite buffet (Ciudad Quesada 🍤)
• €50 total for two adults (child eats free)
Seafood, scallops, prawns, salmon, sashimi, wok station, desserts, cakes, fruit.
Drinks paid separately — very reasonable prices, beautiful interior.
Honestly? Amazing value.

⸻

Total for the whole weekend (Friday–Sunday): ~€132.50
We went out every day, ate well, had fun, no stress.

Now I’m curious:
👉 Does this feel expensive to you?
👉 How much would a similar weekend cost for your family where you live?

Tell me in the comments — let’s compare 🌍

Life feels different here.
Your mornings start with sunlight over the Salinas, quiet streets, and that rare feeling that you finally live where you’re meant to be. This new-build bungalow in San Miguel de Salinas isn’t about rushing — it’s about space, clarity and slow, intentional living.

Step onto your terrace: open horizons, fresh lagoon air, and a sense of privacy that’s hard to find on the Costa Blanca. Inside, clean modern lines, large windows and a home that feels bright without trying too hard.
Outside, a gated community with a pool, green areas and the atmosphere of a private little oasis.

It’s a home that gives you a different rhythm —
calmer, lighter, closer to nature, yet only minutes away from everything in Orihuela Costa: beaches, La Zenia Boulevard, golf courses, schools, cafés.
Close to life, but never in the noise.

If this looks like your kind of lifestyle, come and see it.
We’ll organise a calm, private viewing and check whether it really fits your needs.

Price: 189.999€
2 bedrooms, 2 WC
Living area: 63 m²
Total : 149.09 m²
REF: NB-14917

The first months after moving can feel like living underwater. Every day is a decision, a problem, a form to sign. By the time you fall into bed, you are exhausted and still not sure whether you are doing any of it right 🌊

Why those early months are chaotic:
- Every choice is new: neighbourhood, school, bank, doctor, insurance
- You are learning systems and language at the same time
- Emotions are all over the place: excitement, homesickness, doubt
- Sleep and routines are off
- You have not yet decided where to anchor, so everything feels temporary

In that state, long term decisions are risky. Opening a business, starting a renovation, buying the first nice house you see because you are tired of searching… all of that can backfire

Then, after some months, something shifts. The fog lifts a little 🌫️

You start to see more clearly:
- Which neighbourhood feels good at different times of day
- Which school run is sustainable
- Which friendships have real potential
- What kind of home would support your family instead of just looking nice

If clarity is key, just type "REAL" below for our extended material on what’s really behind the dream 🏡

You cannot skip the chaos completely, but you can reduce it and reach clarity faster:

- 🧭 Test an area before buying. Notice noise, traffic, light, parking, community
- 📅 Build simple routines: same supermarket, same routes, same weekly tasks
- 🧠 Delay major business moves until you understand how people live and work locally
- 🤝 Ask people who live here how the area really feels, not only agents who want to close a deal

At Prime Home Match we take as much of that early chaos off your plate as possible. We help you map areas, compare real prices, understand what you get for your budget, and avoid rushing into a shiny but overpriced or badly located home 🏡

If you are still in the fog and want to make decisions from a calmer place, send us your story and we will help you structure the next steps 😊
