The situation of the real estate market is one of the main concerns for many citizens, especially for young people who are looking for affordable rental housing. In this sense, the recent declaration of residential market areas of tension, published in DOGC no. 8942, is a measure with which the government hopes to limit the excessive increase in rental prices in areas with high demand. In our area of the Costa Brava, Baix Empordà, only the town of Sant Feliu de Guíxols will be affected. The populations of Castell-Platja d'Aro and Santa Cristina d'Aro remain free.

Despite this, many experts in lo mi immobiliàri believe that this measure does not solve the problem of access to housing on its own, and that it is necessary to continue exploring other strategies to ensure that everyone has a place to live. One of the strategies that cannot be delayed any longer to address this problem is the increase in the construction of rent-free and officially protected multi-family homes, which is why it is necessary to have more economically viable developable land.

In addition, affordable rentals can also be promoted with policies that encourage investment in lower-priced rental housing by real estate companies and private investors. This could include tax breaks, grants, or other incentives to facilitate the construction of affordable rental housing. Even so, this option also has its limitations, and some specialists point out that the increase in supply may not be enough to meet demand. For this reason, many defend the need for complementary measures, such as the regulation of tourist rental platforms or the promotion of policies to promote affordable rentals.
