Property News | The Influence of Location on Property Prices

In the realm of real estate in Javea, nothing affects property prices as much as location. Our beautiful Javea, a picturesque coastal town, renowned for its pristine beaches and vibrant community, is a clear example of how several factors can significantly shape property prices. Keep reading to find out how location is of utmost importance when taking the leap and buying a property.

Distance to Schools

For families considering relocating to Javea, finding a property that is close to international schools is a vital requirement. In a town where more than half of its inhabitants are from foreign origin, villas near LES and XIC are more sought after than others, and this is not just a matter of convenience: it is clearly known that a property within a short distance of these schools will have a higher market value than the same property 5 km away, and parents are willing to invest accordingly to be close to schools.

Proximity to the beach

Sea views are a usual requirement among buyers that come to us looking for their dream home. For the people that do not mind having a sea view, proximity to the beach is still an important aspect when looking for a property to buy. If the property will be rental investment or a holiday home, being close to the sea is of critical importance as this makes holidays much easier and the property stands out thanks to such attractive features.

Walking distance to services and amenities

“We would also like to be within walking distance to bars and restaurants if possible.” Another common requirement among buyers. Being able to walk to these amenities is a highly positive feature and quite sought after. Whether the property is on the Montgo, in Balcon al Mar or close to the Arenal, we always see people’s faces light up when we tell them a property is conveniently located just 500 metres from these amenities. Although living in Javea means that you will most certainly need a car, it is always nice to take a stroll and not having to drive.

Most of all: peace and tranquillity

Properties in quiet neighbourhoods are also in high demand. People that choose Javea to retire and families with young children are the ones that ask for this the most, and that is why villas located in a cul de sac and apartments with views to the inside of the complex are quite popular.

Of course, everyone’s dream property is one that ticks all these boxes, or most of them, and people know sometimes they must compromise and not everyone has the same requirements. At Javea Home Finders we listen carefully to our buyers’ requirements, and we strive to find the best properties for our clients.
