Farcaster Madrid

GM madrileñ@s

I'm looking for houses in Madrid (we're 4 in total)

We're looking for short term (3-6 months). Most do not accept a non Spanish work contract, which makes it more difficult

Checked Idealista and Spotahome, and houses fly in a matter of hours or at least 2-3 days

Any help would be much appreciated

Here is what I've learned in the last couple of weeks, when looking to rent a house in Spain, in 2025:

- Average price for 2 bedrooms is ~1200 Euros in city centre. ~900 outside
- Spanish agencies are strict with renters having 1+ year Spanish permanent work contract
- 2 months deposit + 1 month entry rent upfront.
- There may be agency fees which is ~1 month rent worth.
- You are required to be a Spanish citizen. If not, you need an NIE number.
- Private landlords are easier to deal with and more flexible, but are much difficult to find

And the media income is often lower then the rent price. However as a dev god like you that shouldn't be a problem
