Today’s scan finds 2,134 flats and 6,112 rooms, with median asking rents of €2,106 and €730. Flat supply is 10% above last week while room supply is 2% lower; 85% of dated room listings are not free today. Against that tight timing, reporting shows Barcelona logged 6,708 seasonal ads and a 10.5% median €/m² premium over residential lets.
Barcelona recorded 6,708 seasonal-rental ads in the semester analysed. The median price-per-square-metre gap between seasonal and residential rentals in the city was 10.5%. Madrid and Barcelona together accounted for 45.5% of seasonal ads detected in Spanish capitals.
Compare the total price and €/m² with residential options; a temporary listing may carry a higher asking price.
