Market analysis — Valencia
Valencia hosts a population of 792,492 residents in 2022, with residual 0.8% growth from 2015 according to INE's Padrón Continuo. Median sale price per square metre in Rendio's analysed listings sits at €4,877/m². The gradient between districts on the Russafa-Sant Francesc-Gran Vía axis —above €5,500/m²— and districts around the old Turia riverbed and El Botànic area —at €3,300-4,000/m²— reflects a decade of urban transformation, with residential demand shifting progressively toward districts previously considered peripheral to the centre.
Valencia scores 67 out of 100 on tenant demand and 40 out of 100 on tenant budget. SERPAVI's average rent estimate (~€681/month in 2024) absorbs around 51% of the per-capita disposable income INE publishes for the province (€16,121/year). In comparative terms Valencia runs with lower demand pressure than Madrid or Barcelona but with a similar level of strain on tenant budgets, a pattern that has historically accompanied phases of specific-district transformation —Russafa a decade ago, El Botànic and El Carmen more recently— with sustained rent increases concentrated in those areas.
Across 17 districts covered, net yield in Valencia ranges from 1.02% in Russafa to 1.95% in El Botànic, a narrow span that reflects price convergence in the Valencian market. The best price-to-rent ratios are in El Botànic (1.95%), Jaume Roig (1.65%), La Roqueta (1.63%), Arrancapins (1.59%) and La Petxina (1.53%). Supply concentrates in Sant Francesc (19 listings), Gran Vía (16) and Russafa (11), all at yields below 1.2%. This distribution —abundant supply in central districts already repriced upward, and thinner supply with marginally better yield in transforming districts— suggests Valencia's opportunity curve is in its middle phase rather than its early phase, with less arbitrage margin between districts than in more stratified markets.
Rendio's initial filter excludes listings outside the retail-investor profile: VPO-classified properties, units with active tenants or declared irregular occupation, «to reform» listings without an estimable refurbishment cost, and cases with insufficient surface or price data. Cross-referencing against the Catastro adds an extra check when available. The dashboard lets you filter the 191 active Valencia listings by these criteria and by net yield computed per listing.
