📌 Key Highlights & Context

41.5% rise is the highest in the EU
Largest increase since 2010
Data validated by FFMS and Pordata

Portugal’s housing prices climbed 41.5% between 2020 and 2025, the steepest increase among European Union member states. This surge is the largest since 2010, as confirmed by FFMS’s Pordata data. In a comparison of 18 EU countries, Portugal led with the highest price rise during this period.

Data Sources and Methodology

FFMS gathered housing price data for the 2020-2025 period as part of its new “Factualmente” content series. The figures were cross‑checked with official statistics from the Pordata platform, allowing for accurate calculation of annual price change rates.

2020: Average housing price €200,000
2025: Average housing price €282,000
Annual average growth rate: 8.3%

The increase is attributed to a combination of high demand, low interest rates, and limited housing supply in Portugal. Economists are questioning the sustainability of this trend while analyzing its social and economic impacts.
