Short answer: in Ourense, a typical 80 m² flat has an average appraisal value of about €115,600 (2T 2026, 1,445 €/m²) and rents for about €406 a month (2024 median, 5.07 €/m²). The gross yield is 4.6% with 2024 price and rent, and 4.2% with the 2T 2026 price. Buying it with an 80% mortgage would take about €33,936 in savings.
That is 0.6 points below the median of the 306 municipalities with data (5.2%).
Rent range (2024): median €410 a month (5.07 €/m²); half of the rented homes pay between €350 and €500 a month (3.90–6.67 €/m², 25th to 75th percentile). Homes analysed: 9,607 rented apartments declared for tax purposes; median size 88 m².
