The emergency situation in which the rental market in Spain is installed has led to an exorbitant increase in competition to get a home, exceeding in August 100 competitors per ad in a total of 24 Spanish municipalities, according to a study published by idealista.com.
Of all of them, Arrecife is the Spanish municipality where each of the ads that are published receives the most interest, reaching an average of 182 contacts.
The rest of the municipalities are located in the provinces of Madrid and Barcelona, with some exceptions in provinces bordering Madrid.
The second place is for the Barcelona municipality of Cornellà de Llobregat, where 174 competitors are reached, also close to Santa Coloma de Gramenet, which has 170.
Leganés, in Madrid, occupies the fourth place with 153 families competing, followed by four other Barcelona municipalities: Sant Boi de Llobregat (148), Terrassa (137), Sabadell (129) and Manresa (126).
Next, Parla (123), Móstoles (119) and Fuenlabrada (115) in Madrid, followed by Granollers, Torrejón de Ardoz and Getafe, with 114 families competing in the 3 municipalities.
The classification is completed with the Madrid municipalities of Aranjuez (112) and Pinto (111), and behind them come four others from the province of Barcelona: Cerdanyola del Vallès (107), Mataró (107), Badalona (107) and Rubí (104).
In position 21 we find the municipality of Azuqueca de Henares, in Guadalajara; Ocaña, in Toledo; Valdemoro in Madrid; and L`Hospitalet de Llobregat in Barcelona, all with 102 families competing for each ad.
The study also shows the municipality with the highest competition in each CCAA, a comparison that also highlights the different levels of tension that the market suffers depending on the areas.
On the one hand, the most dynamic areas register enormous competition, with Canary Islands, Barcelona and Madrid at the head, but they are also high in Euskadi (Vitoria; 99 families), Balearic Islands (Inca; 87 families), Valencian Community (Mislata (75 families) and Navarra (Tudela; 75 families).
In Extremadura (Don Benito; 16 families), Galicia (Culleredo, 27 families) or Asturias (Mieres del Camino; 36 families) the markets seem more relaxed, at least in relation to the rest of the country.
