This is how Sebastián managed to buy a 1,000 m² house without a mortgage or savings: "The land cost me almost nothing and I paid for it little by little"

In Spain, problems related to housing prices make it seemingly impossible to find a house or apartment at a reasonable price. However, Sebastián's case demonstrates that there may be a way to work around this situation.

Sebastián managed to buy a 1,000-square-meter house without resorting to a mortgage or using savings. The secret lay in the land, which cost him almost nothing and which he paid for gradually, in small installments over time.

This example goes against the current trend in the Spanish real estate market, where high housing prices represent a significant barrier for many families seeking to acquire their own home.

The real estate market is becoming increasingly selective

The Portuguese real estate investment market closed the second quarter with 462 million euros, bringing the first half total to 1.4 billion euros, 11% above the same period last year. International capital represented 76% of invested volume, with core and core plus strategies dominating activity. Hospitality was the most active segment (36% of investment), followed by the industrial and logistics sector, while offices recorded a residual volume. The article concludes that the market is becoming increasingly selective, with investors more disciplined in risk analysis and favouring assets with solid fundamentals, which increases polarization between prime and secondary assets. This selectivity is also visible in occupancy markets, with a shortage of quality product putting upward pressure on rents.
