The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) indicated that there is a downward trend in real house prices globally. This analysis comes in a context of slowdown in the global real estate market.

In Portugal, housing prices recorded a rise of 15% in the first quarter of 2026, contrasting with the global downward trend. This significant growth positions the country above the international average.

Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, real residential property prices have increased 2.7% globally. This data contrasts with the current trajectory, which points to a reversal of this growth trend.
