House Prices in Portugal Showed the Biggest Increase in 12 Years

  • 4
This was facilitated by the lack of real estate available for sale.

According to the Statistical Institute of Portugal, house prices in the country increased by 13.2% year-on-year in the second quarter. This is the biggest increase since the institute's analysts began collecting data in 2010. Compared to the first quarter, the growth was 3.1%.

Reasons. Developers have blamed the rise in property prices on a housing shortage caused by long delays in issuing new construction licenses, especially in the capital Lisbon.

The shortage of homes has coincided with growing demand from foreign buyers who have flocked to Portugal in recent years in search of a warmer climate and a lower cost of living. These buyers are willing to pay more than twice as much for a house in Lisbon as local buyers, according to a report by the Statistical Institute for April.

Quote. Joana Almeida, a member of the Lisbon council, speaking at a real estate conference on Thursday, acknowledged the delays and said the city was working hard to speed up the licensing process to increase the supply of homes.

"We need time to show good results," said Almeida, a member of the team who has been in power for only about a year.

Context. The Portuguese government has excluded the purchase of real estate in Lisbon and the northern city of Porto from its Golden Visa program to try to regulate demand. The government has also imposed a 2 percent cap on rent increases next year in an attempt to contain the rising cost of living.
