According to data released by idealista, real estate investment in Portugal in the first half of 2025 increased by 78% compared to the same period in 2024, totaling €1.23 billion invested.
This significant increase reflects a scenario of greater investor confidence, capital availability, and a search for assets in markets considered "growing."
Performance Analysis
The 78% growth is notable, especially in the challenging European economic context, demonstrating that Portugal continues to attract the attention of domestic and foreign capital.
The most sought-after assets tend to be those with a "safe" profile, such as more centrally located properties, well-located residences, or lower-risk portfolios.
This type of substantial return can drive new transactions, the flow of international funds, and increased competition among local players.
Factors explaining the increase
Safe haven culture — investors seek markets with political and legal stability and less volatile returns.
Attracting International Investors — Portugal maintains its appeal in terms of quality of life, tax benefits, and appreciation potential.
Local Execution Capacity — Developers' expertise, mastery of local regulations, and adaptation to the local market favor safer transactions.
Expectations of Future Appreciation — Many investors anticipate that well-located assets still have room for growth.
Risks and Recommendations
If the market becomes saturated or interest rates reverse, more speculative investments may suffer.
It is prudent to diversify your portfolio and not concentrate on a few high-risk assets.
A rigorous assessment of property quality (location, condition, liquidity) will be essential.
Seeking co-investments with public funding or integrated urban planning can provide added security.
