Common Questions

Essential information about Portugal's real estate market

The market is driven by several factors including tourism growth, foreign investment (particularly from American buyers), and digital nomad influx. The residential sector alone is projected to reach $1.21 trillion in 2024.
Recent changes include the discontinuation of the Golden Visa program and modifications to the Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) regime. These changes aim to balance foreign investment with local housing needs.
Lisbon remains the primary investment hub, especially for luxury properties. Porto attracts retirees and second-home buyers, while Madeira is gaining popularity among remote workers and digital nomads.
The primary challenges include housing affordability issues for locals and migrants, rising property prices, and adapting to new regulatory frameworks. This has led to some overcrowding and accessibility concerns in major urban areas.
