29% Growth in the Availability of Rooms in Shared Apartments
In the second quarter of 2024, the real estate market in Spain experienced a significant increase in the availability of rooms in shared apartments, with a growth of 29% compared to the same period of the previous year. This increase translates into a greater availability of options for those seeking more affordable housing alternatives, especially in high-demand cities such as Madrid and Barcelona, where the growth in the availability of shared rooms is a reality.
Impact on Prices and Demand
Despite the notable increase in supply, the prices of rooms in shared apartments have only experienced a slight increase of 3%, averaging 400 euros per month. This price behavior reflects a balance between the growing supply and a demand that has also continued to rise. It is important to note that, although prices have not risen drastically, Barcelona remains the most expensive city for shared apartments, with an average price of 565 euros per room.
Cities with the Greatest Increase in Availability
Among the cities that have seen the largest increase in room availability are Logroño, Castellón, and Albacete, where availability has doubled compared to the previous year. This growth may be linked to the reactivation of the real estate market and greater job flexibility, which has allowed more people to consider shared housing options outside major urban areas.
Opportunities on the Costa Brava
This context presents an excellent opportunity for real estate agencies in the Costa Brava, such as La Casa Das Haus, which can capitalize on the growing trend of living in shared apartments to attract a younger audience or those seeking more affordable housing alternatives. Offering solutions tailored to this demand, especially in tourist destinations like Lloret de Mar, can be an effective strategy to attract new clients and strengthen market positioning.
