The price of housing on the coast has increased by 5.86% year-on-year in properties for sale, up to 251,927 euro on average, and 6% in vacation rentals, with an average of 796 euro per week, according to the data published by the portal piso.com.
The amortisation remains unchanged, with an average period of 32 years for the owner to amortise the purchase, as long as he enjoyed the apartment for about two weeks a year and rented it for eight weeks. For its part, rental profitability has gone from 2.52% in 2021 to 2.53% in 2022.
The director of Estudios de piso.com, Ferran Font, points out that the Spanish coast remains a “powerful magnet, both for national and foreign clients”. In addition, the return of tourism after the pandemic “is promoting vacation rentals.”
“The search for outdoor spaces is leading many buyers and tenants to look for a house near the sea, especially when telecommuting accompanies it,” adds Font.
