Portugal is experiencing decentralization in the real estate market and attracting investors beyond the big cities
The Portuguese real estate market has been undergoing a major transformation: interest in properties is no longer concentrated solely in the capital cities. Cities such as Vila Nova de Gaia, Sintra and Braga have been gaining ground in the searches of those looking to buy or rent a property, revealing a trend towards decentralization driven by more affordable prices and a better quality of life. Lisbon still leads the demand for rentals, but with increasingly higher prices, many have opted for well-connected peripheral areas with consolidated infrastructure.
This change is a direct reflection of the new lifestyle of Portuguese and foreigners living in the country. Remote work, the search for more space and a more balanced cost of living are driving the demand for cities that offer good mobility, access to services and opportunities for growth.
Vila Nova de Gaia, for example, stands out as the most sought-after municipality for purchasing property, with average prices significantly below those of Lisbon, which makes it a strategic option for attentive investors.
These data point to new investment and asset protection opportunities in Europe, especially for those who want to diversify assets safely and with stable returns.
