This figure represents a 10.4% increase over the previous year, a performance that contrasts sharply with the 34.9% drop in total Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Portugal, which stood at €8.51 billion.

This counter-cyclical dynamic raised real estate's share to 45.9% of total FDI, the highest level ever, far exceeding the 19.3% recorded a decade ago and the historic low of 6.7% observed in 2012.

Investment remains highly concentrated in three regions: Greater Lisbon (€113.2 billion), the North (€37.2 billion), and the Algarve (€21.7 billion), together representing 80.5% of the national total.

Even after the end of the ‘Golden Visas’ for the sector at the end of 2023, the property market's resilience demonstrates structural strength that keeps Portugal on the radar of large capital flows.

This new historic high reaffirms the attractiveness of the national territory, where real estate is now worth almost seven times more, in terms of FDI as a percentage, than during the financial crisis, becoming the central pillar of the country's foreign investment strategy.

The Portuguese real estate market consolidated its position in 2025 as the main driver of international investment, attracting a record amount of €3.905 billion.
