Looking Ahead to 2026
What could boost the property development market?
-
The ability to accelerate the development of innovative, sustainable, and efficient residential projects, with a focus on modular solutions, process digitalization, and investment in the peripheral areas of major urban centers.
-
Developers who can overcome legal and technical barriers and respond to the demand for efficient and more affordable homes will be well positioned to benefit from the positive market momentum and strong demand.
What could limit it
-
Being able to increase the supply of affordable housing in a context of high taxation, complex and lengthy permitting processes, and high construction costs.
-
Without effective public policies, tax incentives, and bureaucratic simplification, pressure on prices and the exclusion of many Portuguese from access to housing will persist, making it difficult to maintain balance and, ultimately, the sustainability of the sector.
