San Javier rents against the official reference
It is 23,7 % above the reference of five years earlier. San Javier carries a reference rent of 5,95 €/m², below the Spanish middle but no longer at the floor. It rests on 1.320 declared leases.
Rents declared on income-tax returns for main-residence leases, not asking prices. They lag the market and exclude holiday lets.

Where this one stands
Take Murcia alone: among the municipalities here, its five-year change in the reference rent is the ninth lowest.
Country-wide, that number of declared leases is one of the band just below the middle.
Set against the other Murcia municipalities in this guide, it has the eighth highest population.
How much of the stock is rented
The census publishes tenure only for the larger municipalities and the provincial capitals, so no rented share is available for San Javier.
70,12 % of dwellings are not a main home, so a year-round tenant here is renting the exception, not the rule.
