Amat has seen an identical course of in Sant Cugat (16% of contracts are signed by foreigners) and Sant Simply Desvern (9%).
In response to Homedes, this group of "digital nomads" displays "the change that has taken place within the metropolis, which has created a really favorable setting for startups and know-how corporations".
"They're primarily small businessmen, who of their international locations already labored from residence, and who now accomplish that from Barcelona. In our case, a big share are French, who preserve the corporate in France, and don't choose for a seasonal rental as a result of they've the prospect of staying long-term." This collective is likely one of the components that put upward strain on rents "as a result of they've European salaries and pay costs that the locals can not bear".

Each components have elevated the common age of tenants, so that fifty% are already over 40 years previous.

On this method, Amat expects to hire between 150 and 200 fewer properties this 12 months than final 12 months, "and we might be in half of what we used to hire a couple of years in the past".
The shortage of provide, with an growing demand, has triggered new worth will increase, which within the case of Amat has oscillated between stability within the district of Sant Andreu, Ciutat Vella and les Corts and will increase in 31% in Gràcia or 20% in Eixample. "The common earnings of the contracts we signal already exceeds 1,200 euros/month in all of the places of work", he added.
In his opinion, market tensions can solely be resolved by growing the availability of rental flats, with public-private collaboration formulation, and inspiring worth reductions with measures comparable to tax incentives for homeowners who hire under of the market degree. "The administrations do not need the cash to construct flats immediately and it might take a few years. However all the things that appears to be proposed goes in the other way", he lamented.
