The average price for a room in a shared apartment in the city of València stood at 385 euros per month during the first quarter of 2026, a figure representing a 4% reduction compared to the previous year.

This data, published by the real estate portal Idealista, contrasts with the 2% increase recorded nationwide, where the average price reached 430 euros. Despite the price decrease, the supply of rental rooms in València has experienced a significant annual increase of 68%.

Many rental property owners, facing successive market regulations, have allocated these homes to the room rental sector, hence the increase in supply in one year.

This significant increase in supply is explained, according to Idealista, by the decision of many owners to reorient their properties towards room rentals, in response to market regulations. Concurrently, demand for shared apartments also remains active, with an 11% increase in interested parties per room during the same period.
Nationally, 44 capitals have seen the number of available rooms grow over the last year, with Segovia (86%), Ourense (76%), Zamora (72%), València (68%), and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (67%) standing out. Among major markets, supply also increased in Alicante (43%), Madrid (28%), and Barcelona (3%).
The cities with the highest room rental prices continue to be Barcelona (600 euros), followed by Madrid (587 euros) and Palma (500 euros). València, with its average price of 385 euros, is below these major capitals, while Jaén records the lowest price at 245 euros.
