Portugal recorded the largest year-on-year increase in housing prices among European Union countries in the second quarter of 2026, according to data from Eurostat, the EU's statistics agency.
The figures showed home prices in Portugal rising faster than in any other EU member state compared with the same period a year earlier, underscoring continued strong demand in the country's property market.
Separately, housing prices in Portugal reached a new all-time high in September, extending a trend of sustained price growth in the market.
Eurostat's quarterly house price index tracks changes across EU member states and is widely used to compare housing market trends across the bloc, amid ongoing debate in Portugal about housing affordability.
