Portugal was the EU country where house prices rose the most since 2020, reveals Pordata

Housing prices in Portugal have surged by 41.5% from 2020 to 2025, the highest increase in the EU, and by 81.9% since 2010, ranking third among EU countries. A significant portion of the population views housing as a priority issue, with many struggling to afford monthly costs. New construction has increased slightly, but remains low compared to earlier decades. The perception that Portugal has a high rate of homeownership is misleading, as it ranks ninth in the eurozone. Additionally, the idea that vacant properties could solve housing issues is deemed inaccurate due to various constraints on these properties.
