BPI forecasts that 2026 will be the year with the most homes built since 2010

Jornal de Negócios3 September 2026 at 18:46

Bank BPI, through its research department, forecasts that 2026 could be the year with the highest number of homes built since 2010. The analysis is based on maintaining the construction pace recorded in the first quarter of the year.

According to the projection, there may be a 2% increase in new housing units compared to 2025, if the construction trend remains unchanged.

This growth would represent the highest number of homes built in Portugal in the last 16 years, considering that 2010 was the last year with values higher than those forecast for 2026.
