What a flat in El Ejido really rents for
A flat in El Ejido rents at a reference of 5,26 €/m², cheap enough that the condition of the property, not its price, is what you are really choosing between. It is 21,4 % above the reference of five years earlier. 2.083 declared leases sit behind it: enough to inform, small enough that one street can sit outside the range.
Rents declared on income-tax returns for main-residence leases, not asking prices. They lag the market and exclude holiday lets.
