Market report
Buying or selling a house is best decided by knowing how the market is. Here we gather all that information about our area — sales, energy efficiency, renting and tourism — so that you can make that decision with data rather than impressions.
01 · Activity
Every time a home is sold in Catalonia, an energy certificate must be issued. The public register of these certificates records the reason, and when the reason is a sale, that entry corresponds to an actual sale. By counting them municipality by municipality, you get something that neither the INE nor property portals publish with this level of detail: the pulse of every town.

02 · Energy efficiency
The energy rating goes from A to G and summarises how much energy a home consumes. In this area The park’s 89% has the letter E, F or G, the three worst. It is no surprise: these are houses built before insulation regulations existed.
A low rating means higher bills and, if an upgrade is ever required, pending renovations. It is worth asking about the rating before negotiating the price.
With nine out of ten houses in the lower energy rating bands, having an A, B or C is a real advantage over what is on the market, and an argument for maintaining the price.
03 · Cost of use
The energy certificate estimates the annual energy expenditure of each home. It is the figure that almost no one looks at when buying and the one that is paid every year. Here is the average for detached houses in each town, along with their average size according to the land registry.
| Municipality | Average area | Annual energy cost |
|---|---|---|
| L'Ampolla | 115 m² | 1,666 € per year |
| Camarles | 109 m² | 1,529 € per year |
| L'Ametlla de Mar | 108 m² | 1,632 € per year |
| Deltebre | 105 m² | 1,461 € per year |
| Amposta | 116 m² | 1,466 € per year |
| Tortosa | 119 m² | 1,330 € per year |
| El Perelló | 98 m² | 1,462 € per year |
04 · Demand
In a secondary residence area, the rental price is the best barometer of demand: it rises when there are people who want to be here. These are the average prices recorded by the Generalitat, along with the number of contracts on which each is calculated.
Annual average for 2025, the last complete year.

| L'Ampolla | 519 € per month | 64 | +7% |

| Tortosa | 468 € per month | 838 | 0% |
| El Perelló | 473 € per month | 25 | +15% |
05 · Tourism
Tourist accommodations registered in the official registry tell you two things at once: how much activity there is in each village and how much room there is left. Where there are many, holiday rental profitability is proven but competition is high; where there are few, the village retains its own life all year round.
06 · Provincial context
The National Statistics Institute publishes the housing sales and purchases for the entire province of Tarragona. It serves to find out whether what is happening in these villages is an exception or follows the general trend. In 2025, there were recorded 17,370 residential property sales in the province.
These data map out the area. The next step is to see what is available.
