March on the Valencia Property Podcast. Fallas is on, nothing is getting done efficiently, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

This month we've got a packed episode covering six topics that matter if you're thinking about moving to Valencia or you're already in the process. We talk about the Americans — why they're coming, what they're actually saying when they arrive, and what the move looks like up close. We look at where the Valencia property market sits in Q1 2026, with an honest read on prices, stock and who's buying. We cover the Stepping Stone rental pathway, the new Valencia Property and Stepping Stone handbooks (download links in the show notes), and what nobody tells you about renovating in Spain.

We also get to know two of the team. David from Valencia Property and Isabella from Stepping Stone Rentals both sit down for a Q+A — who they are, what they do, and why they do it.

If you've been thinking about making the move, this one covers a lot of ground. Next month: a proper interview with someone who's made the move and now helps Americans navigate the tax side of living abroad. IRS, Hacienda, all of it. Download the handbooks:

In our latest mini podcast we talk about why property portals no longer work (If they ever did) for property buyers. You can see the whole article about why with deeper reasons on the blog here https://valencia-property.com/new/2026/02/16/why-property-portals-no-longer-work-for-valencia-buyers/

Valencia Property Podcast - February 2026 Update

Welcome to another dose of sun, sarcasm and ... sensible advice about moving to Valencia and Spain!

In this episode, recorded from our brand new office/studio, we cover:

• How 2026 is shaping up in Valencia (rising minimum wage, falling unemployment, and why Spain wastes less food than almost anywhere in Europe)
• A busy start at Valencia Property with January signings and a packed February ahead
• Our latest blog posts including the definitive Cost of Living in Valencia 2026 guide, our complete services menu, and why Valencia wins in 2026
• What we've been writing on Substack about 15-minute cities, living in Spain with EVs, and why "if not now, then when?" is no longer a rhetorical question
• An update from Stepping Stone Rentals and why Airbnb doesn't work for proper relocations

Plus, stick around for our second quiz where defending champion David takes on Gavin in a battle of Spanish knowledge covering Valencia towns, provinces, and Olympic gold medallists. The bar may be reassuringly low. And then there are two bonuses, a roundup of reasons to move to Valencia in 2026 and interviews with some of our clients where they describe what happened to them moving to Valencia.
