In Portugal, “families who used to look for 3-bedroom homes are now living in 2-bedroom ones”
The Portuguese real estate market is undergoing a significant shift. Data from Maxfinance for 2025 reveals that the typical buyer is now single, under 35, and opting for smaller properties like T0 or T1 apartments. Families are also downsizing from 3-bedroom (T3) to 2-bedroom (T2) homes due to economic constraints. CEO Francisco Ferreira Lima notes that while government measures have improved access to credit for young people, a severe lack of housing supply remains the primary obstacle, with demand still heavily concentrated in coastal urban centres.
