Jornal de Negócios3 September 2026 at 05:41

A study from the Technical University of Vienna (TU Wien), published in the journal Maps, reveals that Portugal has housing "systematically inaccessible" to medium-income buyers. The research analyzes the housing crisis affecting Europe, identifying the metropolitan areas most affected by this issue.

The study particularly highlights the metropolitan areas of Madrid, Paris, and Berlin as the most pressured by the European housing crisis. However, Lisbon also appears mentioned as one of the European capitals where access to housing has become particularly difficult for the middle class.

The data collected highlights the growing dimension of the housing problem on the European continent, where real estate prices have surpassed the financial capacity of buyers with medium incomes. This situation reflects a generalized trend affecting multiple European countries simultaneously.
