What apartment can you afford for 200,000 € in Catalonia? Up to 240 m2 for an apartment outside Barcelona

Do you remember when 200,000 € seemed like a world? Today, that figure is barely a whisper in the real estate market in Catalonia. From the rooftops of Barcelona to the quietest corners of Tàrrega, the disparity in access to housing is a reflection of the chaos that thousands of people live in.

The image of an urban landscape with terracotta roofs and antennas reminds us of the density of our cities. In this scenario, a list prepared by Barcelona Secreta based on data from Idealista.com reveals the amount of square meters that you can buy with 200,000 € in 12 different cities of Catalonia.

Let’s start with Barcelona, where €200,000 is barely enough for 40^m2. Space is selling at a premium, as 10 years ago you could get twice as much for almost the same price.

Meanwhile, in Vielha, with the same budget, you could buy 57^m2. In Palamós, where for that amount you could get 72^m2. Things get better in L’Hospitalet and Girona, with 76^m2 and 80^m2 respectively. If you go to Badalona or Salou, the figure rises to 86^m2 and 84^m2. But it is still a rather small space if we think of families or someone who needs a home office.

But wait, the surprise doesn’t end here. If we look at less popular cities, we find that in Tarragona you can get 95^m2 and in Figueres up to 140^m2. A number that almost seems unreal when compared to the Catalan capital. And, in case you were wondering, Lleida and Amposta are not far behind with 150^m2 and 197^m2.

The maximum of meters that you can afford is in Tàrrega, where you could acquire 238^m2.

To obtain this data we have divided the amount of 200,000 € by the average price per^m2 of apartments for sale in each town, based on data from Idealista.com in May 2025.
