Short answer: in Fuengirola, a typical 80 m² flat has an average appraisal value of about €300,600 (2T 2026, 3,758 €/m²) and rents for about €743 a month (2024 median, 9.29 €/m²). The gross yield is 3.8% with 2024 price and rent, and 3.0% with the 2T 2026 price. Buying it with an 80% mortgage would take about €82,938 in savings.
That is 1.4 points below the median of the 306 municipalities with data (5.2%), and Fuengirola ranks 10th of 12 in the province of Málaga by gross yield.
Rent range (2024): median €675 a month (9.29 €/m²); half of the rented homes pay between €550 and €813 a month (7.18–11.93 €/m², 25th to 75th percentile). Homes analysed: 4,682 rented apartments declared for tax purposes; median size 80 m².
