Short answer: in Vila-real, a typical 80 m² flat has an average appraisal value of about €96,100 (2T 2026, 1,201 €/m²) and rents for about €390 a month (2024 median, 4.87 €/m²). The gross yield is 6.4% with 2024 price and rent, and 4.9% with the 2T 2026 price. Buying it with an 80% mortgage would take about €29,398 in savings.
That is 1.2 points above the median of the 306 municipalities with data (5.2%), and Vila-real ranks 3rd of 8 in the province of Castellón by gross yield.
Rent range (2024): median €458 a month (4.87 €/m²); half of the rented homes pay between €370 and €552 a month (3.77–6.25 €/m², 25th to 75th percentile). Homes analysed: 1,956 rented apartments declared for tax purposes; median size 101 m².
