Short answer: in Jaén, a typical 80 m² flat has an average appraisal value of about €117,500 (2T 2026, 1,469 €/m²) and rents for about €474 a month (2024 median, 5.92 €/m²). The gross yield is 6.0% with 2024 price and rent, and 4.8% with the 2T 2026 price. Buying it with an 80% mortgage would take about €33,297 in savings.
That is 0.8 points above the median of the 306 municipalities with data (5.2%), and Jaén ranks 2nd of 4 in the province of Jaén by gross yield.
Rent range (2024): median €490 a month (5.92 €/m²); half of the rented homes pay between €400 and €597 a month (4.75–7.39 €/m², 25th to 75th percentile). Homes analysed: 4,993 rented apartments declared for tax purposes; median size 86 m².
