In recent years, rental prices in Arenys de Mar have experienced a noticeable increase, largely fueled by a growing demand for vacation rentals and a limited housing supply. Over the past few years, average rental costs have risen by approximately 10-15%, with two-bedroom apartments now typically listed between €800 and €1,200 per month. Several factors contribute to this trend, including the town's picturesque coastal location, its proximity to Barcelona, and the surge in remote work that enables more people to consider living in smaller towns. For example, properties near the beach, which were once renting for around €700, now attract offers upwards of €1,000 due to their desirability. Additionally, the rapid growth of short-term rental platforms has led to some properties being converted from long-term rentals to more lucrative vacation listings, further tightening the market for local residents.
