House prices will continue to rise, but a 10% drop in transactions is expected in 2026, predicts Joana Resende, founder of Century 21 Arquitectos. The forecast is based on the persistent imbalance in the Portuguese real estate market, where demand remains strong despite a lack of supply. While there are signs of a slowdown—with the absorption period for new builds increasing from two to five months—inflationary pressure remains acute in urban areas around Porto, particularly in Gondomar, where average house prices have soared by 144% over the last decade. Developers are increasingly looking to the outskirts of the Porto Metropolitan Area, attracting both national and foreign investment, notably from Israel and India. Century 21 Arquitectos reported four million euros in revenue last year and expects 20% growth for the current year, with plans to expand further in northern Portugal by 2027.
