Rental in Aravaca, Madrid — €23.000/month

How we got these numbers

Is this rent fair? · This flat

Every figure in this section: what it measures, where it comes from, and what we did to it.

Asking rent

€23,000 a month

Measures: What the listing asks per month, as the agency advertises it.
Source: The listing, published by the agency and read by Frankly every day.
Period: Today. Updates daily.
Method: None.
Kind of figure: Listing data, not verified

Asking rent per m²

€31.3

Measures: The asking rent divided by the advertised size, per month.
Source: The listing, published by the agency and read by Frankly every day.
Period: Today. Updates daily.
Method: €23,000 ÷ 735 m² = €31.3.
Kind of figure: Listing data, not verified

Typical rent, middle half

€7,900 – €16,000

Measures: The rents the middle half of similar flats ask, per month: a quarter ask less, a quarter ask more.
Source: The 3 flats of 600–854 m² closest in size to this one, advertised to rent long-term in Aravaca today. Seasonal and tourist lets are left out.
Period: Today. Updates daily.
Method: The 25th and 75th percentiles of their monthly asking rents. Below means under the 25th, above means over the 75th. We do not calculate a fair rent, so there is no gap.
Kind of figure: Listing data, not verified

The rent read

Above the typical rent

Measures: Where this flat’s asking rent falls against the middle half of similar flats: below, inside or above.

Per m², against the same flats

€31.3 per m²

Measures: This flat’s asking rent per m² a month, set against the middle value of the similar flats.
Source: The same listings.
Period: Today. Updates daily.
Method: €31.3 against a middle value of €21.
Kind of figure: Listing data, not verified

What tenants pay on existing leases, per m² a month

€15.5 per m²

Measures: What tenants actually pay, from the rents landlords declare in their income-tax returns: flats let as a main residence, lets to relatives excluded. It arrives about two years late. Flats in buildings only; houses are a separate series. MIVAU withholds any census section with fewer than 10 lets. Not comparable with the asking rents above: two years apart, and the whole rental market rather than the homes we track. Aravaca has no figure of its own (too few lets, or a census section withheld), so this is Moncloa-Aravaca’s.
Source: MIVAU, State rent reference index (SERPAVI): rents declared in tax returns, by municipality, district and census section.
Period: 2024. Yearly. Each edition covers the tax year about two years earlier (the 2026 edition has 2024).
Method: None. We show the median MIVAU publishes.

Method: €6,334 ÷ €6,300 − 1 = 0.5%, shown as about 1%. The sold price is weighted to the barrios the homes we track are in, so the difference in location is taken out. What is left is the gap between asking and selling, plus any difference in the homes themselves within a barrio.
