According to the latest data from Confidencial Imobiliário, Portugal’s leading real estate intelligence agency, house prices in Lagos surged by 18.6% in the final quarter of 2024 compared to the same period the previous year—well above the Algarve’s already impressive regional increase of 13.8%.
While the number of transactions in Lagos held steady at around 1,050 homes sold in both 2023 and 2024, it’s the sharp rise in value that truly underscores the area’s growing appeal. This sustained price growth points to deepening investor confidence and reflects the area's increasing desirability among both domestic and international buyers.
What Sets Lagos Apart?
Lagos is striking the perfect balance between modern convenience and coastal charm. Residents enjoy access to high-quality healthcare, education, and a vibrant culinary scene, all within a relaxed seaside atmosphere. It’s this fusion of urban energy and natural beauty that’s drawing a new generation of buyers.
Contemporary developments are also playing a pivotal role in shaping the region’s future. Projects like Nova Terraces in central Lagos reflect a commitment to sustainable design and lifestyle-led planning. Similarly, Reserva da Luz, just a short drive away in Praia da Luz, offers bespoke homes that make the most of their breathtaking Atlantic views, catering to buyers looking for individuality and quality.
A Market Built on Vision
Gerry Fagan, Chairman and CEO of DDM, whose company has delivered more than 2,500 homes across the Algarve over the past two decades, sees a bright future ahead.
“This region is witnessing a new wave of interest as people discover its exceptional blend of modern amenities and natural beauty,” says Fagan. “Developments here are about creating lasting value, not just for today’s buyers, but for the Algarve’s future.”

With a long track record in the western Algarve, DDM has observed the market evolve into one of Europe’s most attractive destinations for property investment. The company remains optimistic that the region’s upward trajectory will continue.
Looking Ahead
As interest broadens from traditional markets to new international buyers, Lagos stands at the forefront of a maturing and increasingly sophisticated property landscape. With strong price performance, continued demand, and a focus on quality developments that enhance the local environment, the outlook is decidedly positive.
For those seeking an unmatched blend of year-round lifestyle, investment potential, and natural beauty, Lagos is proving to be not just a place to visit, but a place to belong.
