Cost of rental housing increased in October<\/p><\/div>\n

The price of rental housing in Spain increased by 0.1% in October, when compared to the previous month.<\/strong> When compared to the same period in 2019, the variation is +9.6%. This brings the average monthly cost of renting a home in Spain to \u20ac10.75 p\/m\u00b2<\/strong>. This is the fifth consecutive annual increase and also the fifth highest increase following rises of 12% in September, 10.9% in April, 9.9% in March and 9.8% in May.<\/p>\n

“Although rental prices are still rising strongly in some autonomous communities at the interannual level, we are already beginning to notice that in some communities, rental prices have reached high prices and are already registering year-on-year decreases. This is the case in the Balearic Islands (-6.8%), the Canary Islands (-2.2%) and Madrid (-2.1%). Right now the rental market is evolving at different speeds across the country and while there are areas where increases are still high in others, price drops are already a reality<\/em>“, explained Ana\u00efs L\u00f3pez, Communication Director at fotocasa<\/a>.<\/p>\n
