Affordability
Barcelona
At the average appraised value, a 90 m² home costs €414,162. With 10% down and a 30-year mortgage, the payment is €1,580 a month. Spain sets no cap on the payment; lenders must assess each borrower's solvency.

Buy or rent
Barcelona
Renting a 90 m² home costs less each month than owning it. Owning counts interest, running costs and the return the deposit could earn, at the appraised value; rent is the mean of new leases. Repaying the loan is saving, so it is left out.
