According to a press release from Idealista, the profitability of this segment of the property market fell by 0.4 percentage points at the end of 2025, resulting in a yield of 6.5%, down from 6.9% at the end of 2024.

Across the territory, the most profitable cities were Bragança (6.7%), Coimbra (6.3%), Santarém (6.1%), Leiria (6%), and Ponta Delgada (5.9%). The cities with intermediate returns were Braga and Évora, both at 5.7%; Porto and Setúbal, 5.4%; Viseu, 5.3%; Viana do Castelo, 5.2%; and Funchal and Aveiro, 5%.

Lisbon had the lowest housing profitability at just 4.4%, even though it has the highest rents in the country. According to the statement, these figures suggest the indicator was penalised by high property purchase prices in the region.

Based on the analysis carried out by Idealista, it can also be seen that other real estate segments at the national level showed higher profitability, such as offices with 8.1%, shops with 8% and garages with 5.8%
