Rental Prices broke records again in April<\/p><\/div>\n

The price of rental housing in Spain increased by 1.2% in April, when compared to the previous month.<\/strong> When compared to the same month in 2022, the increase was 7.3%. The average cost per square meter, per month, now stands at \u20ac11.69.<\/p>\n

“Although increases are no longer in double digits, the price of rental housing once again sets a price record in the month of April, for the fourth consecutive time in 2023. This increase in the price is caused by the great imbalance between supply and demand and that tension once again pushes prices up. The main problem – and one that has increased in the last year and a half – is the reduction in the supply of residential rentals. A very significant volume of properties have been sold, have been converted to tourist rentals or remain empty. Owners concerned about the legal insecurity in the Housing Law have been keen to migrate to other markets<\/em>“, explained Mar\u00eda Matos, director of Studies at Fotocasa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Autonomous Communities<\/h3>\n

If we look at rental prices compared to those of a year ago, we see that 16 communities saw year-on-year price increases in April. In six communities double-digit increases were exceeded, specifically in the Balearic Islands (32.5%), the Canary Islands (22.5%), the Valencian Community (16.5%), Cantabria (14.8%), Madrid (12.8 %) and Navarre (11.2%).
