Lack of supply and persistent demand continue to guarantee good investmentopportunities in several Portuguese real estate markets, particularly in the Living segments (traditional and alternative), as well as in retail real estate. Investors continue to set their sights on this destination, which they consider safe and solid, and are now looking at other cities, allocating capital to new locations where supply is still scarce.

In a recent article, the Portuguese publication "Vida Imobiliária" shared the opinion of Miguel Gomes, Mercan Properties' Construction and Development General Manager, about the best cities to invest in Portugal currently. 

As Miguel Gomes explained, "the best opportunities are found in the intersection between urban undervaluation and global trends. Cities like Braga, Faro and Évora mirror the characteristics observed in Málaga or Bologna — young talent, mobility, and human scale. Typologies like co-living, senior residences regeneration for mixed-use have been gaining traction. Institutional capital favors models with stable yields, such as forward funding and sale & leaseback. Portugal remains on the European radar due to predictable regulation and competitive entry costs, but the slow licensing process continues to require attention."
