Where does the price-per-m² data come from?

They are SolProp’s own estimates (the SolProp Costa del Sol Price Index), not official transactions. The model blends asking prices on property portals, the evolution of SolProp’s portfolio and observed closing ranges, calibrated per area. It reflects the estimated average price per built square metre and is recalibrated quarterly. See the methodology page for detail.

How to interpret the year-on-year change?

Year-on-year change compares the estimated level in the last month of the series (June 2026) with the same month a year earlier. Positive values indicate appreciation; negative ones, price correction. Differences above ±5% relative to the index average typically reflect structural changes (new supply, foreign demand, regulation).

What does gross rental yield mean?

It is the ratio between estimated annual rent and purchase price, expressed in %. It does not deduct expenses (community fees, IBI, taxes, vacancy). Useful to compare areas; for investment decisions, also calculate net yield.
