Market Growth Factors

Foreign demand and migration flows have driven the Portuguese property market, in particular, from the European Union, North America, and increasingly Asia due to lower property prices compared to other western European countries. The GDV and NHR scheme (albeit with some changes) as well as other visas for residency via property purchases have proven attractive to investors. The international component of residency program flows additionally helps push up property prices in Lisbon, Porto, and other coastal and secondary markets, supporting price growth across the sector.

As in several European countries, tourism is a mainstay for growth as billions of tourists visit Lisbon, Porto, and the Algarve region every year. Because demand rises for accommodation using services like Airbnb, Booking.com etc., short-term-rental properties make a lot of money. Urban areas regenerate as they convert older houses into lucrative short-term rental properties and this, combined with occupancy rates that are high and a climate in Portugal that is temperate, ensures income streams that are strong despite government attempts to balance tourism and housing needs.

Quality of life and development further stimulate the market. Over 1 million legal foreign residents resided within Portugal during 2023. This number is a historic high it is up 33.6% since 2022. The mild Mediterranean climate, beaches, health care, and lower cost of living in comparison to other EU countries are attracting expatriates, retirees, and digital nomads to Portugal. Transport infrastructure upgrades and airport upgrades made urban centers more accessible. Urban transport system upgrades in cities like Lisbon and Porto also helped. Likewise, environmentally friendly investors appeal to sustainable urban regeneration projects, allowing Portugal to reposition itself from a tourist destination toward long-term investment for lower-impact funds.
