El Ejido Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About El Ejido

El Ejido, in Almeria province, sits in one of southern Spain’s most distinctive agricultural and coastal corridors, with a practical urban core and a strong local economy shaped by its wider regional setting. For apartment investors, that mix keeps the city firmly on the map as a place to watch.

July 2026 brings the clearest signal yet: prices are still climbing faster than rents. The average apartment sale price has reached €144,000, up 11.2% from the previous month and 30.9% higher than a year ago, while the average asking rent holds at €800, unchanged month on month and up 6.0% year on year. That divergence matters because it shows ownership costs rising more quickly than rental income.

The same pattern appears in the per-square-metre figure, now €1,520 after a 10.0% monthly rise and a 37.8% annual increase. Against that backdrop, the estimated yield stands at 8.92%, which still leaves room for income-focused strategies, but the July reading also suggests the margin between price growth and rent growth is tightening. In other words, El Ejido’s apartment market is not standing still; it is re-pricing, and investors are having to weigh that move carefully against a rental stream that has advanced more gradually.
