This unique Property Market-Index rates different locations across Portugal in relation to buying trends.

Each report considers the key and most relevant metrics linked to buying property  against the current global and local economic climate. Common metrics between each report include house price trends over the past three months, years, and five years, as well as schools, local culture and heritage, and transport links/amenities.

Our latest research shows that despite political and economic challenges internationally, Portugal saw a 15.8% annual increase in house prices as of March 2025, with key regions like Lisbon, Algarve, Alentejo, and Porto leading the way, outperforming the broader EU market. 

Meanwhile, at the end of Q1, average UK house prices rose by just 5.3% year-on-year, while US house prices grew by only 2.7% over the same period, primarily due to higher interest rates and market uncertainty.

Our research has found that macroeconomic implications such as interest rates, US Government uncertainty, and the Ukraine and Israel conflicts have played a significant role in this increasing foreign property interest in Portugal, as more international wealth sees the country as a safe haven to invest in and relocate to.

Combining this with the lifestyle and investment opportunities the country offers, as well as safety, security, freedom of access to the twenty-nine EU Schengen region countries, 300 days of sunshine per year, stunning beaches and increasing regeneration investments across Portugal, and it shows why property prices are being driven by foreign investment so highly.

Below are some of the key performance indicators:

• Geopolitical challenges such as major conflicts and the impact on energy, agriculture, commodities and supply chain issues.  
• Regional, national or international strategies to incentivise investment.
• Rating and indexing growth segments for investment.
• Wealthy areas attracting expats in Portugal due to Golden Visa residency-by-investment or other exemptions.
