La Nucia Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About La Nucia

La Nucia in Alicante province combines hillside views, Mediterranean light and easy access to the Costa Blanca’s inland and coastal amenities. It is a compact city with a residential feel, known for its elevated setting, nearby golf and sports facilities, and links to Benidorm, Altea and the wider northern Costa Blanca.

May 2026 points to a clear tension in the houses market: values are still climbing, but income is moving in the opposite direction. The average sale price reached €535,000, up 3.4% on the month and 14.8% over the year, while the average price per square metre rose to €2,432, also up 4.3% month on month and 16.4% year on year. That pricing momentum is being tested by rents, which averaged €2,450 and increased 6.5% from April, yet remain 18.3% below a year earlier.

For investors, the result is a yield of 6.06%, which suggests the market is still producing income, but with tighter margins than the price trend alone might imply. In other words, La Nucia’s houses are re-rating faster than rental levels are recovering. The monthly figures show continued upward pressure on capital values, while the annual rent comparison indicates that letting returns have not kept pace with the same strength. That gap is the key story this month.
