  • Évora topped the list as the city where the most houses were sold in less than a week, with an impressive 29% of properties finding new owners in such a short timeframe.
  • Castelo Branco followed closely, with 25% of houses sold in less than a week, making it the district with the fastest-selling homes in Portugal.
  • Santarém and Porto each had 17% and 10% of houses sold in less than a week, respectively.
  • The island of Madeira also had 10% of houses sold in less than a week.

It's important to note that the length of time houses are available on the market is influenced by their location, characteristics, and price. The data shows that 25% of houses advertised on the market are available for between one week and one month, while 30% of houses are available for between three months and one year, and 19% of houses are available for between one and three months. A smaller portion, 7%, of houses are on the market for more than a year.

Investing in the housing market of certain cities in Portugal, such as Evora and Castelo Branco, may be attractive due to their fast-selling properties, with over 25% of houses sold within a week in June 2021. However, it's crucial to consider factors like location, characteristics, and price when financing real estate investments, as the data shows a significant portion of houses are available for long periods on the market.
