Vila Viçosa, Marinha Grande and Moita are the three municipalities most sought after simultaneously for renting and buying a home in Portugal, according to data revealed by the idealista platform. These three municipalities are located in three different districts of the country and have quite distinct prices. In Vila Viçosa, in the district of Évora, the average rent is 500 euros per month and the average purchase price is 123 thousand euros. In Marinha Grande, in Leiria, prices are 700 euros monthly for renting and 270,565 euros for buying. In Moita, in the district of Setúbal, the average rent is 1,021 euros per month and the purchase price is around 273,894 euros.
