Luxury residences in Portugal attract growing interest from Portuguese and foreigners
Despite the recurring emphasis on foreign buyers, especially British and North American, it is the Portuguese themselves who currently lead the search for luxury homes in the country — those above one million euros.
In the first quarter of 2025, they represented 73% of the demand for this type of property, signaling confidence in real estate assets as a form of safe investment and long-term appreciation.
Still, international interest remains relevant. Cities like Faro, Funchal and Ponta Delgada attract high-income buyers from the United States, Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom, who see in the Portuguese islands not only quality of life, but also stability for asset diversification.
Already in Lisbon and Porto, although the market remains attractive, only 20% of the demand for luxury properties comes from foreigners, reflecting the impacts of the end of tax benefits and the change in the Golden Visa rules.
For those who want to protect their assets or invest intelligently in Europe, this is a strategic moment. Martins Castro offers specialized advice for obtaining the Golden Visa Portugal and international investment planning.
