Barcelona is a very attractive city not only for\u00a0tourists but also for people who decide to establish their residence in Spain<\/strong>. It is a city that keeps growing\u00a0and that has become a world reference as one of the best places to live and to do business<\/strong>. If we\u00a0add its privileged location, close\u00a0to the sea, and its moderate climate all year round, the result is an increasingly higher demand for housing to rent. And this, of course, has its consequences: when the demand is higher than the supply, the rents\u00a0rise.<\/p>\n

According to Idealist<\/a>,\u00a0the average rent in Barcelona has\u00a0risen\u00a037.2% since May 2015 and the sale price has grown by 25.22%. This, although\u00a0many people’s concerns, does not seem to have an immediate solution since it is an effect of the supply and demand law that we can see\u00a0repeated in all the great cities of the world like London, Paris, Rome, Berlin, New York, to name but a few.<\/p>\n

Young people prefer to rent a house<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To this high demand also responds the fact that renting is the preferred option of the young people<\/strong> who, for the moment, do not feel encouraged to buy a house\u00a0due to the work\u00a0instability that many of them suffer. Renting a house not only avoid getting a commitment to a bank, but also, it makes\u00a0easier to select the area where you want to live. And living<\/strong>, for example, in the center of a cosmopolitan city like Barcelona<\/strong> means getting in touch with people from anywhere in Europe and the world, as well as enjoying all kinds of services to have a high quality of life: transport, community services, libraries, cultural centers, parks, markets and shops of all kinds so that you never lack what you need to live.<\/p>\n

Renting, therefore, is no longer a means, but an end for many people. There are those who are decided\u00a0to live in a rental house\u00a0all their life. Nevertheless, in spite of the escalation, leasing a house\u00a0in Spain is still far from the levels of other European countries – where it reaches 50% – although it is approaching the average of the Eurozone – 30% -.<\/p>\n

More consequences of the high rental demand in Barcelona<\/h2>\n

When demand exceeds supply, not only the average rent\u00a0rise:\u00a0the competition for renting the best houses in Barcelona also grows<\/strong> and if it used to take days or weeks to rent a house in the city of Barcelona, \u200b\u200btoday the most attractive houses, that is, those that are well located and have a good\u00a0price and quality, can be rented in a matter of hours. That is why it is important to entrust\u00a0your rental house\u00a0to a professional real estate<\/strong>. A real state\u00a0that knows how to select the best tenant, with the highest guarantees of payment\u00a0and, above all, that offers peace and security to both the owner and the person who wants to rent the house.<\/p>\n
