Idealista is how southern Europe looks for somewhere to live. Founded in Madrid in 2000, it now runs the leading property marketplace in Spain, Italy and Portugal, carrying more than 1.5 million active listings and connecting around 60,000 estate agents to over 38 million unique visitors a month. Annual traffic passes a billion visits. Cinven bought 70 percent of the business from EQT for 2.9 billion euros, the largest technology deal Spain has seen, four years after EQT paid 1.3 billion for the same company.
The reason the portal matters so much is speed. In the first quarter of 2026, 13 percent of homes sold in Spain went under offer in less than seven days, and 6.39 billion euros of real estate investment landed in the country during that quarter, more than Italy, France and Portugal combined. At that pace a flat you find on a Saturday afternoon may already be gone, which is why alerts on the good listings decide who gets a viewing.
January 2026 brought a change renters had wanted for years. Drawing an area on the map used to grey out everything else, so anyone open to three neighbourhoods had to run three searches and reconcile the results by hand. Now several areas can be selected together in one query, which matches how people actually house-hunt, and no other Spanish portal offered it first. Around the edges the company holds its discipline: the board walked away from acquiring Portal47, the operator of Kyero, rather than overpay.
An account keeps your saved searches, favourites and alerts, and creating one confirms a phone number by SMS. That number then becomes the channel agents use, and on a listing with 40 enquiries you can expect several calls in a day, plus viewing arrangements, price-drop notices and new-listing alerts. Take the confirmation on an additional number and the property traffic keeps its own line, arriving inside your 5SIM order while your searches stay in Idealista.
How to buy a virtual phone number for Idealista
Choose Idealista in the service list on 5SIM. The countries stocked for it right now load next. Pick one and the operators available for that country and service pairing appear.
Each operator line carries price, available quantity and SMS delivery rate side by side. Take all three together. A cheap line running low with a weak recent record often needs a second attempt, which costs more than the difference saved.
The number you buy waits in your active order. Enter it in the Idealista phone field, request the SMS, and the message lands in that order window. Orders stay active for roughly 15 to 20 minutes.
If nothing turns up, cancel the unused active order and your payment returns to the 5SIM balance at once. An unused order left to run out refunds by itself.
