01
LifeTrend™ Score
Composite relocation score (30–90) per region. 7 decision dimensions — safety, climate, cost of living, healthcare, lifestyle, digital, education — min-max normalized and updated quarterly.
02
Answerable by AI
Caterelo runs an MCP server, so the assistant you already use — Claude, or anything that speaks MCP — can query all 90 regions directly. Ask it to compare, rank or filter, and it answers from this dataset, citing the source.
03
Hidden Gem Detector
Cross-references LifeTrend scores with Google Trends search interest and local pricing. Surfaces undervalued regions that most buyers haven’t discovered yet.
04
Climate Trajectory 2050
IPCC AR6 projections per region — warming by 2040/2050, heat days, drought risk, fire risk, sea level exposure. Know where the climate is heading before you commit.
05
Live Data Feeds
Real-time weather, air quality index, currency conversion, Eurostat population & unemployment, and Google Trends search interest — updating automatically alongside quarterly datasets.
06
REST API & Data Platform

Case study
Catalonia vs Puglia:
a €3,193/m² gap
you can see in seconds.
Two of the most popular relocation destinations in Southern Europe. Both Mediterranean. Both on every buyer’s shortlist. The data tells a completely different story.
Catalonia · Spain
€4,512/m²
Avg. price across top 5 cities
5Y change+41.2%
CAGR 5Y7.1%
MomentumAccelerating
Puglia · Italy
€1,319/m²
Avg. price across top 5 cities
5Y change+23.2%
CAGR 5Y4.3%
MomentumStable
The insight: Catalonia’s 5-year growth is 18 percentage points ahead of Puglia, with accelerating momentum. But Puglia offers 3.4× more square metres per euro — making it the value play for buyers who prioritize space over capital appreciation. This comparison takes 30 seconds in Caterelo. Without it, you’d need days cross-referencing INE and ISTAT data in two languages.

Frequently asked
questions.
What is Caterelo?
Caterelo is a personal relocation decision engine for Southern Europe. It helps remote workers, families, expats and second-home buyers compare 90 regions across Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece, France and Croatia using 13 signals across 7 decision dimensions — property price trends, cost of living, safety, climate, healthcare, education, lifestyle and digital infrastructure. A built-in relocation profile matches places to your real life. Data is sourced from 60+ official, public and reputable sources (INE, ISTAT, INSEE, ELSTAT, INE PT, DZS, Eurostat, OECD, WHO, IPCC AR6 and more).
What does CAGR mean?
CAGR stands for compound annual growth rate. It measures the average annual percentage increase (or decrease) in property prices over a given period. For example, a 5-year CAGR of 4.2% means that, on average, prices grew by 4.2% each year over the past five years, compounding annually.
What is a momentum score?
A momentum score is a composite indicator that shows whether property prices in a given region are accelerating, stable, or decelerating. Caterelo calculates momentum by comparing recent price changes (1-year) against longer-term trends (5-year, 10-year) and factoring in transaction volume changes, foreign-buyer share shifts, and infrastructure investment announcements. Each region is classified into one of five states: strong acceleration, mild acceleration, stable, mild deceleration, or strong deceleration.
Is Caterelo free to use?
Yes. All 6 countries, 90 regions, region comparison, LifeTrend Score, Climate 2050, 10-year price trends and the listing price verdict are free with no signup. The only paid item is the Before-your-deposit pack for one Spanish listing: €19 one-time, no subscription.
Where does Caterelo source its data?
Caterelo aggregates data from 60+ official, public and reputable sources organised in 3 tiers: official statistics offices (INE, ISTAT, INSEE, ELSTAT, INE PT, DZS), Eurostat, OECD, WHO, IPCC AR6, national meteorology agencies (AEMET, IPMA, ISPRA, EMY, Météo-France); property portals (Idealista, Immobiliare, Spitogatos, SeLoger, Njuškalo, Imovirtual); and community indices (Numbeo, Speedtest, EF EPI). Core datasets refresh quarterly.
Which countries and regions does Caterelo cover?
Caterelo covers six Southern European countries: Spain (17 autonomous communities), Italy (20 regions), Portugal (6 regions), Greece (13 regions), France (13 regions), and Croatia (21 counties) — totalling 90 regions. Each region includes price per square metre data, historical trend charts, and up to five city-level breakdowns.
