Short answer: in El Ejido, a typical 80 m² flat has an average appraisal value of about €109,700 (2T 2026, 1,372 €/m²) and rents for about €421 a month (2024 median, 5.26 €/m²). The gross yield is 6.0% with 2024 price and rent, and 4.6% with the 2T 2026 price. Buying it with an 80% mortgage would take about €31,175 in savings.
That is 0.8 points above the median of the 306 municipalities with data (5.2%), and El Ejido ranks 1st of 4 in the province of Almería by gross yield.
Rent range (2024): median €400 a month (5.26 €/m²); half of the rented homes pay between €350 and €490 a month (3.94–6.75 €/m², 25th to 75th percentile). Homes analysed: 2,083 rented apartments declared for tax purposes; median size 78 m².
