Short answer: in Galapagar, a typical 80 m² flat has an average appraisal value of about €228,000 (2T 2026, 2,850 €/m²) and rents for about €685 a month (2024 median, 8.56 €/m²). The gross yield is 4.7% with 2024 price and rent, and 3.6% with the 2T 2026 price. Buying it with an 80% mortgage would take about €60,989 in savings.
That is 0.5 points below the median of the 306 municipalities with data (5.2%), and Galapagar ranks 17th of 28 in the province of Madrid by gross yield.
Rent range (2024): median €637 a month (8.56 €/m²); half of the rented homes pay between €525 and €750 a month (7.14–10.31 €/m², 25th to 75th percentile). Homes analysed: 2,165 rented apartments declared for tax purposes; median size 78 m².
