Forecasts for the Portuguese real estate investment market in 2025 are highly optimistic. According to data from idealista and international consultants, total investment volume is expected to exceed €2 billion this year—a 10% to 15% increase compared to 2024.
Multiple factors are driving this growth. Interest rates are stabilizing, and there's growing speculation that they may even drop before year’s end. At the same time, inflation is coming under control, and macroeconomic stability is returning across Europe, all of which build investor confidence.
Lisbon and Porto remain prime locations, but emerging cities such as Braga, Setúbal, Évora, and Leiria are also attracting growing interest. Segments such as multifamily housing, residential tourism, and urban logistics are drawing the most attention due to their solid mid- to long-term returns.
Sustainable construction is also gaining traction. Demand for buildings with green certifications, high energy efficiency, and integration with public transport and cycling infrastructure is rising, especially among ESG-focused institutional investors.
While the outlook is positive, experts caution that an investment boom must not come at the expense of housing accessibility for Portuguese residents. Policymakers and urban planners will need to balance the appeal of the market to investors with protections for local communities.
Ensuring inclusive development, promoting mixed-income housing, and safeguarding affordable neighborhoods will be essential for sustainable long-term growth.
