HousingAnywhere International Rent Index by City Q3 2025

Rotterdam, 9 October 2025 – Rent prices across Europe remained flat in the third quarter of 2025. This is according to the latest HousingAnywhere Rent Index. The report, produced by Europe's largest mid-term rental platform, analyses rent price developments for furnished apartments, rooms, and studios in 25 cities across 11 countries.

"Since the start of the year, we have observed less pronounced rent price increases across Europe. We are now pleased to see that the long-awaited stabilisation of rental prices has finally arrived," says Antonio Intini, CEO of HousingAnywhere. "Yet this relief may prove more theoretical than tangible for many tenants, who continue to face persistent challenges in affordability and availability. The market remains highly fragmented by city."

While the overall market remained stable, price changes varied by property type. Room rents experienced a modest decline of 0.8%, and apartment rents dropped by 1.5%. Studio prices remained unchanged.

The overall 1.5% decrease in apartment rents was challenged by significant increases in several cities. Rotterdam saw an 11.4% rent increase for apartments, followed by Turin at 9.1% and Stuttgart at 8.5%.

Conversely, some markets experienced notable price reductions. Rome registered a substantial 22% decrease in apartment rents, as some luxury accommodations left the HousingAnywhere platform to switch to tourist rentals. The price of a furnished apartment in Rome went from €2,500 last year to €1,950 currently. Porto also saw a rent price reduction of 10%.

Furnished apartment rents range from €2,500 in Amsterdam and €2,000 in Rotterdam to €850 in Budapest and €950 in Athens.

Room rents declined slightly by 0.8% during the peak season for student housing. Despite the marginal overall decline, students faced rent increases in specific markets. Cities with the highest rent increases for rooms included Brussels (7.9%), Rotterdam (6.7%), and Valencia (6.3%). German cities also registered increases, with Cologne at 5.1%, Stuttgart at 4.6%, and Düsseldorfat 3.3%.

Meanwhile, notable decreases were observed in Hamburg (-11%), Lisbon (-7.5%), and Bologna (-6.9%).

Amsterdam's room rents rose by 3%, pushing them above €1,000 per month. Dutch and German cities, along with Paris, remain the most expensive markets for rooms. Room prices range from €1,013 in Amsterdam and €878 in Rotterdam to €360 in Budapest and €412 in Athens.

While the average studio rent price in Europe remained unchanged, some cities experienced pronounced price swings. Studio availability is low, as this property type is less common. Therefore, prices fluctuate more sharply.

Rotterdam saw a sharp 26% increase in studio rents, reaching €1,325. Brussels and Valencia followed with 10% increases. In contrast, Hamburg and Frankfurt saw significant rent decreases of 27.7% and 22.3%, respectively.

The data indicates that rent growth is expanding beyond capital cities in some countries. In the Netherlands, Rotterdam experienced rent increases across all property types examined. Similarly, in Spain, Valencia registered rent increases for all property types.

About the Q3 2025 HousingAnywhere International Rent Index by City

For this 29th quarterly edition of the International Rent Index by City, HousingAnywhere analyzed 61,876 properties that were listed and received interest from potential tenants on the platform in Q3 2025 or Q3 2024. The report analyzed single rooms, studios, and apartments from one to three bedrooms located across 25 European cities, across 11 countries.

Out of all the apartments analyzed, 59% were one-bedroom apartments, 30% were two-bedroom apartments, and 11% were three-bedroom apartments.

Approximately 99% of the listed properties were fully furnished and 60% included bills in their rent, with all listings mainly geared towards servicing young professionals and students relocating within and across borders.

The available properties in HousingAnywhere are primarily listed by private owners and real estate agents listing their available spaces directly. The platform does not include properties offered by housing corporations or other types of non-profit organizations, which generally have lower rental prices.

Rent prices and square meter prices are calculated based on the data provided by property providers when listing on HousingAnywhere. The absolute rent price of a city is calculated by a median. The price per square meter is calculated by dividing the median absolute price of a property type by the median size.

The year-on-year variation in rent prices at a European level is calculated as the difference between the median rent price across all countries this year and last year, both by property type and for the overall market.

Aiming to provide a robust dataset, cities with less than 40 units in a quarter in one of the property types analyzed were excluded from the report. For this reason, the cities of Amsterdam and Stuttgart were excluded from the studio section of the report due to low inventory.

These are the 25 cities included in this edition of the report: Amsterdam, Athens, Barcelona, Berlin, Bologna, Brussels, Budapest, Düsseldorf, Florence, Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg, Köln, Lisbon, Madrid, Milan, Munich, Paris, Porto, Prague, Rome, Rotterdam, Stuttgart, Turin, Valencia, Vienna.

The report is also available in Dutch, Italian, and Spanish.
