Avena Terminal scores every tracked new-build daily; here is what the live data says by coastal region right now: **Gross yield ranking (Avena live data, new builds):** 1. **Costa Blanca South - Inland** — avg gross yield 8.0%, avg Avena Score 63/100 2. **Costa Blanca North - Inland** — avg gross yield 7.6%, avg Avena Score 55/100 3. **Costa Blanca North** — avg gross yield 5.2%, avg Avena Score 51/100 4. **Costa Blanca South** — avg gross yield 5.1%, avg Avena Score 50/100 5. **Costa Calida** — avg gross yield 3.6%, avg Avena Score 48/100 6. **Costa Calida - Inland** — avg gross yield 3.2%, avg Avena Score 47/100 **Strategy guide:** - **Yield-first:** the regions at the top of the live ranking above — typically the less saturated costas where entry prices are lower relative to achievable rents. - **Liquidity-first:** Costa del Sol (Marbella–Estepona corridor) and Costa Blanca North (Javea, Moraira) — deepest international resale markets. - **Growth-first:** corridors with new infrastructure and constrained coastal land supply; watch the Avena Property Cycle Index for regime timing. This ranking is recomputed from live listing data — it may differ next month, which is the point. Static “best places” lists are stale on publication day.
