European housing: Portugal leads annual price growth in Q2 2026
A growth ranking
Eurostat reports Portugal at +16.5% year on year in Q2 2026, followed by Bulgaria (+15.5%) and Lithuania (+14.3%) among EU members with data. The EU aggregate is +4.7%. This ranks nominal growth, not absolute property prices.
What it measures
The index tracks price changes in homes purchased by households. It provides neither a European price per square metre nor a rental return. National growth is not a forecast for each Algarve property.
International investment
Compare net income, costs, market liquidity, taxation and currency exposure. A rising market does not replace analysis of the entry price and exit scenario.
