Arnau Bernabé, 22 years old and full of hope, says that the first landlord he had with his roommates in Valencia kicked them out after a year to sell the property, but the owner of the second one, where they now live, has not only never raised the price but also “is not abusive.” He tells it almost as if giving a headline in these times of exponential increase in the price of buying and renting housing, with the city of Valencia at historic highs. According to the recent Valencia Real Estate Market Report for the second quarter of 2026, by the Association of Real Estate Professionals of Valencia (APIVA), in the city the price already reaches 16.7 euros/m², 7.5% more and becomes the highest in its series.
