Short answer: in León, a typical 80 m² flat has an average appraisal value of about €131,700 (2T 2026, 1,647 €/m²) and rents for about €450 a month (2024 median, 5.63 €/m²). The gross yield is 5.1% with 2024 price and rent, and 4.1% with the 2T 2026 price. Buying it with an 80% mortgage would take about €38,476 in savings.
That is in line with the median of the 306 municipalities with data (5.2%), and León ranks 3rd of 3 in the province of León by gross yield.
Rent range (2024): median €491 a month (5.63 €/m²); half of the rented homes pay between €395 and €600 a month (4.37–7.23 €/m², 25th to 75th percentile). Homes analysed: 10,183 rented apartments declared for tax purposes; median size 89 m².
