Short answer: in Rota, a typical 80 m² flat has an average appraisal value of about €230,200 (2T 2026, 2,878 €/m²) and rents for about €648 a month (2024 median, 8.10 €/m²). The gross yield is 4.2% with 2024 price and rent, and 3.4% with the 2T 2026 price. Buying it with an 80% mortgage would take about €63,865 in savings.
That is 1.1 points below the median of the 306 municipalities with data (5.2%), and Rota ranks 11th of 12 in the province of Cádiz by gross yield.
Rent range (2024): median €550 a month (8.10 €/m²); half of the rented homes pay between €410 and €1,200 a month (5.75–13.76 €/m², 25th to 75th percentile). Homes analysed: 1,623 rented apartments declared for tax purposes; median size 78 m².
