## Definitions

- **Rent (€/m²/month)**: average contractual rent per square metre, from rental deposits registered with INCASÒL.
- **Sale price (€/m²)**: average transaction price per square metre of built area, from sales registered with the Catalan property registries.
- **Gross rental yield (%)**: a year's rent as a share of the purchase price for the same area and quarter — rent × 12 ÷ sale price × 100. Before taxes, community fees, insurance, maintenance and vacancy; net yield is typically one to two points lower. A high yield indicates a cheap purchase market, not a better one.
- **Temporada contract**: a "seasonal" lease. Since 1 January 2026 Catalan Law 11/2025 treats one aimed at meeting a housing need as a normal lease regardless of its stated duration.

## Notes for citation

- Always state the quarter alongside a figure; these move every quarter.
- Rent and sale prices are published separately and can sit a quarter apart. The yield is only meaningful when both describe the same quarter, and the JSON omits it when they do not.
- The site covers Barcelona city only, not the wider metropolitan area.
