Avena analysis.
Historical analysis of comparable Northern European to coastal Spain route additions (Munich-Málaga 2018, Berlin-Valencia 2021, Hamburg-Palma 2019) shows median price appreciation of 6.2% in affected coastal markets within 18 months. The signal is strongest for Costa Blanca due to existing German buyer concentration (28% of foreign purchases). Lufthansa is a premium carrier — historically correlates with higher-yield buyer demographics. Watch for confirmation: German buyer share in Q1 2027 should rise above 32% if signal holds.
