Are you too late?
You are not. Although Portuguese real estate is not as cheap as it used to be (property prices have increased by 40% since 2010), and "good deals" are now hard to find, the fundamentals remain strong.
The country's unparalleled quality of life, its friendly and cosmopolitan population, Lisbon's relatively affordable prices compared to other world-class capitals, combined with the many benefits that Portugal offers to foreign investors (access to local mortgages, tax exempt status, golden visa or residency program for non-EU citizens) guarantee that it will continue to attract global investors and entrepreneurs such as yourselves for the years to come.
In fact, the market is still growing at a fast pace: housing prices increased 13.8% between January 2021 and January 2022 due to increased demand combined with a lack of supply.
