Short answer: in Tarragona, a typical 80 m² flat has an average appraisal value of about €148,100 (2T 2026, 1,851 €/m²) and rents for about €600 a month (2024 median, 7.50 €/m²). The gross yield is 5.9% with 2024 price and rent, and 4.9% with the 2T 2026 price. Buying it with an 80% mortgage would take about €46,063 in savings.
That is 0.6 points above the median of the 306 municipalities with data (5.2%), and Tarragona ranks 2nd of 6 in the province of Tarragona by gross yield.
Rent range (2024): median €572 a month (7.50 €/m²); half of the rented homes pay between €456 and €700 a month (5.98–9.38 €/m², 25th to 75th percentile). Homes analysed: 9,987 rented apartments declared for tax purposes; median size 78 m².
