Reading the numbers for Sitges
By appraised value, Sitges is 6th of the 55 cities Payotte covers, from the dearest down. At €4,932/m² it sits more than twice the Spanish average of €2,355/m².
It is the dearest of the five Catalonia cities covered, and about 79% above the Catalonia average (€2,753/m²). The province of Barcelona is at €3,204/m², so the city is €1,728 above its province.
The appraised value is up €480/m² from €4,452 a year earlier (+10.8%), 1.7 points slower than the national rise (+12.5%) and in step with Catalonia as a whole (+10.1%). On a 90 m² home at the average, the year's move is worth about €43,155.
Taken at the average appraised value, €300,000 buys roughly 60 m² in Sitges, against 125 m² at the Spanish average. A 90 m² home at that value would be about €444,000; the buyer's taxes and registry fees on a resale come to €44,640 (10%). Arithmetic on an average, not a valuation.
The Sitges figure rests on only 151 valuations, a thin sample that a few large operations can move, or 4.6 valuations per 1,000 inhabitants. With 32,609 inhabitants it is the 51st most populated of the 55 cities covered.
On that ladder the next city up is San Sebastián at €5,208/m² (€277 more), and the next one down is Barcelona at €4,602/m² (€330 less). The dearest covered city, Santa Eulària des Riu, is at €6,844/m², €1,913 above Sitges; the cheapest, Cartagena, at €1,486/m², €3,446 below. It held the same 6th place a year earlier.
