Porto Property Market Report: Sales (Jun–Aug 2025)
Porto district is the north’s largest housing market, blending urban demand in Porto city with suburban houses across the metropolitan area. This diversity makes Porto attractive both for first-time buyers and for investors seeking strong rental demand.
This summer, Porto’s housing market remained vast and highly active. Listings hovered around 35 000–37 000, total monthly views reached 24–25 million, and engagement quality improved: buyers contacted sellers more often and saved more listings, even as views per listing stayed broadly stable.
Supply & Pricing
Supply stayed remarkably high across the summer, fluctuating between 35k and 37k listings.
Price trends (€/m²) showed a gentle rise — median values climbed from ~€2 945 in June to ~€2 976 in August, while averages passed €3 200 by the end of summer.
| Month | Active listings | Median €/m² | Avg €/m² |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-06 | 35 329 | €2 945 | €3 186 |
| 2025-07 | 37 316 | €2 960 | €3 207 |
| 2025-08 | 35 195 | €2 976 | €3 220 |
Engagement
Buyer attention was steady in volume but stronger in quality. Each listing drew ~670–710 views a month, yet the likelihood of those views turning into action improved. By August, buyers were contacting sellers more often (0.48% of views, up from 0.46%) and saving more listings to favorites (4.04% of views, up from 3.81%).
| Month | Views/listing | Contacts/view | Favorites/view |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-06 | 709 | 0.46% | 3.81% |
| 2025-07 | 667 | 0.47% | 3.82% |
| 2025-08 | 693 | 0.48% | 4.04% |
Property Types: Flats vs Houses
Porto is a flat-heavy market. Flats consistently form ~69% of supply, houses ~31%. Despite fewer listings, houses attracted nearly as many total views as flats — showing broad buyer interest, but lower conversion into contacts.
| Month | Houses | Flats | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-06 | 10 907 | 24 422 | 35 329 |
| 2025-07 | 11 179 | 26 137 | 37 316 |
| 2025-08 | 10 834 | 24 361 | 35 195 |
Methodology
- Unit of analysis: An ad is counted as active if it had at least one stats record in the month — even if it was live for just a single day.
- Latest row per month: For each ad, only the latest stats row is used to avoid duplicates.
- Metrics: Median/avg €/m² are calculated only where built_area > 0.
Takeaway
- Scale: Porto is the country’s second-largest housing market, with ~35k–37k active listings — far bigger than Leiria or Faro.
- Prices: €2 900- 3 000 €/m², higher than the Silver Coast, but far below Lisbon city (>€6 200).
- Flats dominate: Nearly 70% of the market, especially in the city core.
- Engagement rising: Contacts and favorites per view are edging up, a sign of more intent-driven buyers.
- Opportunities: For sellers, standing out requires sharp pricing and quality presentation. For buyers, competition is heating up — desirable listings don’t sit idle.
