Porto Property Market Report: Sales (Jun–Aug 2025)

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.

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%).

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.

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.
