There's something magical about December on the Costa del Sol. While much of Northern Europe bundles up against grey skies and early darkness, we're enjoying mild temperatures, outdoor lunches, and that distinctive winter light that makes the Mediterranean sparkle. It's one of the many reasons so many of you have chosen to make this corner of Spain your home—and why we feel so fortunate to do what we do.

As we gather with family and friends this holiday season, the entire Konrad Real Estate team wants to extend our warmest wishes to all our clients, partners, and friends. Whether you're celebrating in your new Costa del Sol property, dreaming of one from afar, or simply following along with our journey, thank you for being part of our 2025 story.

Looking Back: A Year of Growth and Connection

What a year it's been. We've had the privilege of guiding buyers from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, the UK, and beyond through one of the most dynamic property markets in Europe.

Our team grew stronger. We welcomed Veronika Jul to the family, bringing her Scandinavian perspective and firsthand experience of the Nordic-to-Spanish lifestyle transition. Combined with the deep expertise of established team members like Dick Lyngsie and his decades of Danish real estate knowledge, our ability to truly understand what international buyers need has never been better.

We launched a brand new website back in February, making it easier than ever to search properties, meet our team, and access the market insights that help you make smart decisions.

We explored every corner of the Costa del Sol together—from our Sotogrande discovery tour to hidden gem golf courses, from Isabel's personal restaurant guide to the thriving art scene that's transforming our region into a cultural destination.

We watched the market reach new milestones. Costa del Sol property prices officially surpassed their 2007 pre-crisis peak this year, and international buyer interest remained remarkably strong. We helped navigate this evolving landscape with honest analysis and independent guidance—always putting your interests first.

We made a difference beyond real estate. Our partnership with Help Africa to support young Ryan reminded us that success means nothing if we're not giving back to the communities around us.

The Properties That Made 2025 Special

From beachfront villas in Marbesa to innovative new developments between Sotogrande and Estepona, from crystal lagoon living at Alcazaba Lagoon to classic elegance at El Presidente—we've had the joy of introducing buyers to properties across every price point and lifestyle.

We've walked through penthouses with panoramic sea views, toured Andalusian-inspired developments just minutes from Puerto Banús, and discovered emerging neighbourhoods that offer exceptional value for smart buyers. Every property tour, every negotiation, every set of keys handed over represents a family beginning their Costa del Sol chapter.

Thank You

Looking Ahead to 2026

The new year brings new opportunities. We're already seeing exciting developments on the horizon, competitive financing options for international buyers, and continued interest from those seeking the Costa del Sol lifestyle. Whether you're ready to start your property search, just beginning to explore the idea, or simply curious about the market, we're here when you need us.

Our promise remains unchanged: independent representation that puts your interests first, multilingual support that makes you feel understood, and local expertise that helps you avoid costly mistakes while finding exactly what you're looking for.

From all of us at Konrad Real Estate, we wish you a Merry Christmas filled with warmth, and a New Year bright with possibility.

Here's to 2026—and to helping even more of you call the Costa del Sol home.
