Rental costs begin to ease in Lisbon and Porto

TVI Notícias2 September 2026 at 15:37

The cost of renting a home in Lisbon and Porto has been showing signs of slowdown over the past year. This slowdown represents a change in the trend of accelerated growth that was previously observed in the rental market of these two Portuguese cities. Still, the average rent for new contracts signed during this period remains well above one thousand euros, which means that, despite the deceleration, access to housing continues to represent a significant challenge for many tenants. The article does not provide specific data on the percentage of reduction or on the number of contracts analyzed.

Real estate consortium drives sector growth in the country

The real estate consortium registered significant growth, gaining 870 thousand participants in one year and taking second position in the country's consortium system, behind only light vehicles, surpassing motorcycles. ABAC's research shows that the consortium system reached the highest number of participants in history, with almost two out of every three new participants entering real estate groups. The consortium works differently from traditional financing, where participants contribute to a common fund and receive credit through raffle or bid, without receiving the property immediately. The real estate letter can be used for land purchase, construction, renovation, or paying off financing of the same category.
