According to eXp Portugal, about 77.6% of homes listed for sale in Portugese are in good condition. This means that most of the current supply consists of properties that do not require major renovation and can be used for living or rental immediately after purchase.

📊Regionally, this показатель is uneven. In more active markets, the share of quality housing is higher:

— Braga — 82.3%
— Faro — 81.8%
— Setúbal — 81.6%

In less liquid regions, the figures are lower:

— Guarda — 66.3%
— Vila Real — 66.9%

As a result, differences between locations are shaped not only by pricing, but also by the quality of available stock.

📈 These figures come against a backdrop of shrinking supply and rising prices. According to Idealista, the number of properties on the market declined by around 13% year-on-year, while the median asking price in February 2026 reached €3,076 per m², up 12.2%. At the transaction level, the динамика is even stronger. According to INE Portugal, 169,812 residential properties were sold in 2025, with annual price growth of approximately 17.6%.

At the same time, the structural gap between segments continues to widen. New developments have significantly increased their presence in recent years and are sold at prices around 40% higher than the secondary market. As a result, well-maintained resale properties increasingly compete with new builds not on price alone, but on a lower entry point with comparable readiness.

💼 In the current market configuration, demand is shifting toward ready-to-use properties. A high share of quality stock, combined with reduced supply and rising prices, is narrowing the scope for discounts related to renovation. Pricing is increasingly driven by location and liquidity rather than future capital expenditure.
