What is the INCASÒL registered-rent benchmark?
INCASÒL's registered-rent statistic is the average of the rents people actually sign and deposit (fianza) in Catalonia — a more honest benchmark than portal asking prices, and the basis for judging whether a given rent is in line with its area.
Because every long-term deposit is registered, the figure reflects real signed rents, not aspirational listings. For 2025 the register covers 844 Catalan municipalities; Barcelona's average was €1,134.61/month across 30,789 contracts.
It's the yardstick we use to flag whether an asking rent is above the local norm.
