The difference lies in the fact that these real estate portals are based on price offers and not on the price of the actual contracts.
Despite the increase in the median rental price, during 2016 0.7% more rental contracts were formalized than in 2015.[:ca]The rental price for a habitat in Catalonia has increased by 6.8 TP6T Interannual during 2016 and it has stood at 595 euros per month.
