Rent price hike revealed
ACCORDING to recent data released from the National Institute of Statistics (INE), rental prices increased by more than 10 per cent over six years of the Marina Alta. The data, which was collected from 2015 to 2021, includes the towns of Denia, Javea, Calpe, TeuladaMoraira, Benissa and Pego. These are the 10 towns in the region whose population exceeds 10,000 inhabitants.
The only exception was Benissa, whose prices rose by 9.91 per cent.
Pego was the most expensive place to rent a home between 2015 and 2021, with a rise of 13.38 per cent. Denia prices rose by 12.35 per cent, TeuladaMoraira by 11.75 per cent, Javea by 11.51 per cent and Calpe by 10.64 per cent.
The INE has just published a series of maps showing hot spot areas of rental prices during that period. Access to housing is a growing problem in the Marina Alta, and in recent years it has worsened in the case of rental properties, due to a continuing rise in prices.
