Rental Prices Down Again in Barcelona

It's a great time to be looking for a rental at the moment in Spain, and whilst the bigger cities such as Barcelona and Madrid are always going to have competitive rates for monthly rentals, a recent report from facilisimo.com relates the news that the prices of rentals has again gone down.



In August, rentals in Catalunya as a whole dropped 0,06% which although it doesn't sound like a lot, makes up a total of 11.32% compared to the same time last year. That's a hefty amount on any rental, and I can predict that this will likely stay around the same for the rest of the year. The survey had sources from over 120,000 individual properties and is great news for anyone looking for a long term rental in Barcelona with a 4.4% decrease in rental prices for the Catalan Capital.

Each new renter looking to relocate to Barcelona, for whatever, reason, has a great new world awaiting them, with Barcelona being voted as one of the top ten cities in the world to live in by Time Out Guides this month. If you're wondering where to move to, try our information in choosing the right neighbourhood in the city, which will be an ongoing project here at Barcelona Real Estate Blog.

Relocating to Barcelona

Choosing to relocate to any city can be a daunting experience, especially such a vibrant city as the Catalan Capital, Barcelona. With the Spanish property market in free fall, one might be convinced that there are bargains-a-plenty to be had when looking for Apartments for sale in Barcelona or indeed renting a property in Barcelona.


Nothing could be further from the truth. Whilst construction has halted on many apartment blocks throughout the city and even the re-generation of one of the city's old Bull rings, Las Arenas, property prices and rentals within the city have not stumbled as far as you might expect.

Choosing the right Barcelona Estate Agent can be paramount in your search for the right Barcelona property, and as a foreigner, you may come up against certain obstacles along the way. The language barrier is the immediate concern for many, with Barcelona having two official languages, Catalan and Spanish Castillian. What better way to view prospective properties than let someone else do the legwork for you?
