House Prices in Portugal
House prices in Portugal have experienced great success, with prices increasing year on year due to the ever-growing demand from both expats and Portuguese natives. Popular destinations such as Lisbon, Faro and Madeira are reported to be the most expensive locations to buy property in, with average prices totalling as much as €574,107 (Lisbon). However, although the house prices in these destinations are deemed very expensive, buyers can benefit from an affordable life by the sea whilst investing in property that will continue to see increases in value over the next few years.
