Algarve’s sale market is balanced between houses and flats, with houses forming a stable majority.

Houses consistently made up ~59% of listings, flats ~41%. From June to August, houses edged down slightly (13.8k → 13.7k), while flats slipped from 9.7k → 9.4k. The balance remained steady at roughly 3:2 in favor of houses.

Detached houses and standard flats anchor the Algarve market, each holding around 8–9k listings every month. Together they form the backbone of supply.

Beyond these, quintas (~1 050 ads) stand out: they consistently generate over 1.3 million views per month, reflecting the Algarve’s appeal as a lifestyle destination. Villas (~150 ads) also show strong buyer quality, with over 2 000 monthly contacts despite their smaller volume.

The Algarve is a two-tier market —

1. Mass core: Detached houses and standard flats (≈75% of supply).
2. Niche drivers: Quintas, villas, studios, and penthouses — smaller in volume, but punching above their weight in buyer engagement.
