In a press release, the platform revealed that new rental contracts signed last year showed an annual variation of 0.2% in the capital and -1.6% in Porto.

In the capital, the rise in rents stabilised, reflecting a gradual recovery. In Porto, the annual result for 2025 reflects a market in which rental values have fallen consecutively each quarter since the end of 2024, except in the third quarter of 2025, during which there was a marginal positive variation of 0.2%.

In both markets, the figures show a slowdown in the price increases recorded in recent years. In Lisbon, contracted rents increased by 26.0% in 2022, then slowed to 9.0% in 2023 and further to 1.0% in 2024. In Porto, rents for new contracts grew by close to 30.0% in 2022, then slowed to 12.0% in 2023 and to 2.0% in 2024.

According to Ricardo Guimarães, director of Confidencial Imobiliário, “The decline in intensity observed in recent years is associated with the economic and political environment, marked by uncertainty regarding the updating of rents in existing contracts, the then escalation of inflation, and successive changes and announcements of government measures targeting the housing sector, factors that mainly affected supply in the market.”

In 2025, the average rent in Lisbon reached €19.0/m² and in Porto, €15.0/m², according to data from SIR-Arrendamento.
