Alicante is currently witnessing a transformative shift as chronic undersupply in the urban core meets a surge in international demand, driving the average buy price to €3050/m². While new luxury developments in the northern fringes are expanding the city's footprint, the lack of entry-level stock is creating a high-barrier market for first-time buyers. Verdict: Alicante is a 'Strong Buy' for capital appreciation seekers, provided you move before the 2026 price ceiling solidifies.
