Real Estate Agency in Lista, Barrio de Salamanca (Madrid)

What Lista is and who buys here

Lista is one of the six neighbourhoods of the Salamanca district, alongside Recoletos, Goya, Fuente del Berro, Guindalera and Castellana. idealista describes it as a discreet neighbourhood: tidy streets, well-kept buildings and everyday yet varied shops. Spacious apartments in classic buildings predominate, many of them renovated.

Buyers are mostly high-net-worth people looking to live in Madrid or have a pied-à-terre there. Apartments with 2 bedrooms and 50-100 m² attract investors and first-time buyers. Those of 150 m² or more are sought by families and international buyers.

How much does an apartment in Lista cost in 2026

idealista puts Lista at around 10,600 €/m² (May 2026), with a recent high of 10,670 €/m² in March. Other market estimates put the neighbourhood at 10,485 €/m². These are averages: the real price depends on street, floor, exterior aspect and renovation.

• Small apartments (40-55 m²): from about 490,000-600,000 € in listings on streets such as Padilla or Alcántara.
• 2-bedroom apartments (66-100 m²): between about 700,000 and 1,000,000 € in listings on José Ortega y Gasset.
• 3-bedroom apartments (100-160 m²): from 1.2 to 2.2 million euros, with peaks of almost 14,000 €/m² on Conde de Peñalver.

Very large homes, of around 300 m², are cheaper per square metre, close to 8,000 €/m² in the listings we have seen.

Padilla, General Pardiñas and new-build

Padilla is the benchmark street for new-build and full renovation. On property portals there is a new building completed in 2024 with 4-bedroom, 150 m² apartments asking more than 14,800 €/m². Aurovas has several apartments in Padilla 80 and Padilla 53.

General Pardiñas mixes classic buildings and large homes. Our portfolio includes one of 288 m² with two living rooms and a terrace. General Oráa, on the edge of Castellana, is next to IE Business School, on María de Molina.

That is why our average asking price (about 13,700 €/m²) is above the neighbourhood average: we sell renovated product on prime streets, not the neighbourhood average.

Renting in Lista: yield and demand

According to idealista, the average rent in Lista was 27.9 €/m² in September 2025, 9.5 % more than a year earlier. An April 2026 estimate puts it at 29.5 €/m². On portals, a 2-bedroom, 60 m² apartment in Montesa is advertised at 1,900 €/month. A 3-bedroom, 150 m² one in Padilla or Conde de Peñalver goes up to 4,500-5,500 €/month.

With purchase prices of 10,500 €/m² and rents of 28-30 €/m² a month, the gross yield is around 3.2-3.4 %. It is a wealth-preservation investment, not a high-income one. Aurovas currently has no rentals listed in Lista; we work in sales.

Transport and daily life

Lista metro station, on line 4, gives the neighbourhood its name and connects with Goya, Velázquez and Diego de León. The neighbourhood has shopping streets such as Juan Bravo, José Ortega y Gasset and Alcántara. You can walk to Retiro and Serrano.

Almost all the buildings in the district date from before 1960. When viewing an apartment, check the lift, the state of the electrical installation, the concierge's lodge and whether the renovation has a licence.

How Aurovas works in Lista

We operate from the Madrid team. If you sell, we give you a valuation by street and floor, not by the neighbourhood average, because between Alcántara and Padilla the difference can be thousands of euros per square metre. If you buy, we filter the portfolio of 37 homes by budget (from 589,000 €), orientation and condition.

We also explain the costs of the transaction in Madrid (ITP on resale homes, notary and registry) before you make an offer.
