[EN] Huesca is positioned among the most profitable cities in Spain to invest in housing

Economic growth in the real estate sector is rising more and more, being an increasingly attractive investment alternative. At the moment, the gross rental yield in Spain stood at 8.02% in July. The percentage has improved by 0.53 points compared to the same period in 2025, when it reached 7.49%, although it has fallen slightly compared to the 8.04% recorded in June.

The calculation is based on a typical 100-square-metre home, with an average purchase price of 221,580 euros and a monthly rent of 1,482 euros. With these values, an owner would obtain an annual gross income of 17,784 euros.

HUESCA, AMONG THE MOST PROFITABLE CAPITALS

According to data published by pisos.com, among the provincial capitals, Huesca ranks third in Spain, with an average return of 7.40%. Only Tarragona, with 7.98%, and Seville, with 7.70%, have a higher return. After Huesca appear Jaén, with 7.37%, and Castellón de la Plana, with 7.13%.

At the opposite end of the scale are Donostia-San Sebastián, with a return of 3.86%; Girona, with 4.39%; Palma, with 4.41%; Cádiz, with 4.59%; and Pamplona, with 4.60%. From pisos.com they explain that these differences are mainly due to the balance between purchase prices and rental incomes in each market.

LACK OF SUPPLY CONTINUES TO PUT PRESSURE ON RENTS

The Director of Studies at pisos.com, Ferran Font, warns that the rental market continues to be under «structural pressure» due to the increase in demand and a supply that is still insufficient. This situation, he points out, increases competition among tenants and tightens the conditions of access to a housing.

According to Font, as long as the number of available homes does not increase significantly, this tension will continue to condition the evolution of rents. In the case of cities such as Tarragona, Seville or Huesca, the combination of more contained purchase prices and a demand capable of sustaining rents allows higher levels of profitability to be achieved.
