The Russian population concentrates up to 70% of the demand in some of the towns. Russian and former Soviet republics are looking for modern, luxurious homes with sea views or very close to the beach, with lots of privacy and in prestigious areas. In addition, they prominently value the proximity to the stores and the infrastructures around the house.

Analyzing the Russian clientele, it must be said that lately the traditional Russian families with high purchasing power have joined an extended middle class with more affordable tastes. That is, not all buyers are billionaires. For this reason, the wide range of prices offered by real estate on the Costa Brava is interesting for the potential Russian buyer: demanding, diverse and with different economic capacities.
