Short answer: in Lorca, a typical 80 m² flat has an average appraisal value of about €93,600 (2T 2026, 1,170 €/m²) and rents for about €386 a month (2024 median, 4.82 €/m²). The gross yield is 6.0% with 2024 price and rent, and 4.9% with the 2T 2026 price. Buying it with an 80% mortgage would take about €27,498 in savings.
That is 0.8 points above the median of the 306 municipalities with data (5.2%), and Lorca ranks 4th of 14 in the province of Murcia by gross yield.
