Hi Ted. Thanks for the breakdown. Looking forward to the next analysis

I'm so happy for PT citizens who said "foreigners" were squeezing them out. #Fall #Options. Thx again for the deep dive Ted. 💖💖💖🙏

Thanks Ted Awesome content.💝💝💝 In the words of Tom Jones..."What goes up..."

Depends upon how easily you make friends. My assimilation has been easy but I make friends quickly. Porto is easier that way

what are these prices on the chart please? 200k? For what exactly?

There is a balance between price and availability of apartments. In Lisbon there are many apartments available but the prices are rather high. In Stockholm the rents are very low because of regulations but you have to wait 10+ years to get an apartment. Still a studio with sea view in Lisbon is around €2000.

Continue the great work since you are the only person doing it in Portugal and reporting the statistics. It would also be interesting to separate the reports in 2 parts, 1 for houses and 1 for apartments (condos). Thanks.

But foreigners are still able to buy wherever they want in the country unlike in Canada where they are banned completely so cities such as Lisbon in the south and close to a major international airport and beautiful beaches, are still very interesting and properties in high demand with extremely low maintenance fees and property taxes, unlike in North America. I am only paying 35€ for my Maintenance fees every month and 97€ for property taxes. What a joke !!! One bedroom apartment is an excellent option to have a pied-à-terre in Portugal !

Thats a great informational Video. I am moving to Lisboa in a few weeks and sooner or later I want to buy a house in the outskirts of L.

Since so many AL units are only occupied at a low rate, that suggests that there is an oversaturation of AL units and reducing how many there makes sense.

2nd hand market was out of control for years - overzealous sellers are to blame, and , yes, also foreigners). I Iive in Lisbon, you see 30+ year old apartments at ridiculous prices that no one is going to touch, unless prices drop. And they are indeed going down in price. The market is correcting itself as demand cools down.

Prices are actually rising by 5% compared to the same period in 2023. You can read an article about this on the popular Portuguese news website Público.

Amazing!

End of NHR = Portugal isn’t attractive anymore.

So does this mean that the “free market” actually does work even in real estate?! 😮

Really good and informative video! It'd be great if you could improve your mic setting to reduce background echo. Keep doing a great job 😊

Looked up prices in nicer areas , still not much inventory and prices are in 900+ range if you don't want to live in a small box.... But it does seem true otherwise , which is a good start

Love your videos - please keep them coming. So informative and insightful. Thank you!

Excellent presentation once again Ted - thanks for sharing and nice shirt !

Looking at Idealista, I’m not seeing the prices falling quite yet (& yes, I know Idealista is sometimes manipulated by owners). But it’s a starting point. I’ll be curious to see how inventory increases as the months continue and the summer renters leave the country. Great vlog. Thanks for continuing to share this information. 👍🏾

Finally an honest assessment of the housing market in Portugal!! Thank you!

What is your two favorite neighborhoods and why?

Love your channel… hope you keep making more videos.

Great insight…please put out more videos.

Clear delivery of information though I would never ever consider investing in Lisbon, no matter how low the prices are. It's just not a very investable area given the poor quality of buildings and associated price tags, it's like trying to sell an old abused car for Ferrari prices

Thankyou Ted - keep up the great work, the info is useful and your presentation style is relaxed and has good cadence.

Not really. I live in this country. Prices still look high to me.

Where? Not true, prices are higher than ever!

Thank you so much! I truly look forward to your informed and unbiased updates.

I'm favoured financially, Thank you Jesus. $32,000 weekly profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.

I used to work as cleaner at a freemason gathering place. In a conversation with a 6 said " i wish Portugal would go back to be a Monarch, like it was before the king assassination," he told me i was a full Portugal will not be a country for the Portuguese very soon. When i learned that the freemason were the ones that killed King Carlos, i see their plan became truth.

An excellent presentation once again thankyou Ted

I live for these updates. Thank you.

maybe that is the reason why the banks have started giving mortgage credits more :) for foreigners. thanks for the good news

I retired to France. Paris is NOT France. Yes, I live in the South, in Montpellier (most incredible under-the-radar city in Frande). Pros: Climate, Culture, Cost of Living, Train network, Tax Treaty, Cuisine, Lifestyle/Pace of life,, Wine, (lack of) Tipping culture. The only con: Bureaucracy sucks here but it is getting better. Yes, it is more important to speak French in France but IMO you should learn the local language whereever you retire.

What is the cheapest area in Lisbon to rent? I really like the area of Santa Apllonia and old town, is that a cheap area?

I think that most expats aren't rich and will have some problems, but people like myself who lives in one of the most expensive states in the US will have no problem at all and it will actually benefit us as the housing market will crash and they will get great deals on real estate. Remember the prices here for healthcare and property taxes alone are more than what people live on monthly there. I pay 1500 USD a month just for property taxes, add healthcare and everything else and your're looking at 9-11k a month.

Portugal is trying to be like San Francisco . The prices are laughable in some places and when this Portugal love fest ends whose going to buy these million dollar homes that aren't worth nearly that price. I was going top move back to Portugal but what we get here for a house costing 500K USD is so much more than what you'll get there.Not paying 500K for a house that is small and have to worry about mold and much more, not worth it anymore.

bro how tf did we get to this? americans spreading the word on where is the best place to live in LISBON!!!! GO AWAY THE PT DONT WANT MORE TOURISTS/EXPATS

Not an expat; I'm originally from Lisbon, but lived in the US for 25 years, but I'll share my thoughts. The best neighborhood in my opinion is Avenidas Novas and Saldanha. It's the most modern, with the newest buildings, shops, close to everything you need. Sadly, I can't afford to live there, and I refuse to pay 2-3K for a teeny 1-bed, airbnb apt. I like visiting the older neighborhoods, but would never live there. Unless you are super lucky, you'll have lots of issues renting there because the buildings are very old,. Even if the apts are renovated, you'll have tons issues with plumbing, mold, cold, noise, etc. Campo de Ourique is on the air routes of airplanes and is the noisiest zone in Lisbon. Also, a lot of pollution. Estrela is cute, love that garden, but quite old (see issues above). Belém is great, but very windy and much colder because you're near the water. Also, no subway, you have to take the train. Arroios is not a good neighborhood, but only locals would know this. All the neighborhoods near the Cemetery are bad. I like Parque das Nações to visit in the summer, but hear it has a lot of crime at night. The apts there are newish, but the buildings are humongous, look like institutions, not my thing. I'm currently in São Domingos de Benfica, mostly because I'm close to my mom, and I have a good deal. Would like to find a more modern apt/building in this area.

We had been scouting for two years and finally found a place called Belverde on the other side of the bridge. It's truly underrated.

I enjoy this presentation How about Saldanha?

I was making notes as you spoke. I will definitely be walking through some of these areas when I return to Lisboa next week. Thank you. 👍🏾

Great presentation! Well done.

Certainly a lot of changes for you and the world since 2020. With connecting the rental prices to inflation, what happens when inflation comes down? I’m sure housing prices will not. Hopefully more available housing will help the situation.

i'm late to finding your videos but they are a great resource. Thank you for the updates.

A worthless pile of rocks called a "ruin" for 100K Euros, then triple the cost for upgrading it and opening the door to endless bureaucracy to pick your pocket dry, then sit back and enjoy your high cost of overpriced utilities,....rinse and repeat for each chump that this otherwise.

It seems it's about expectations - unfortunately, I expect nothing and now I'm still disappointed. After two years, we have now applied for another residency in a different country. Not really enjoying the food, bureaucracy, language difficult, lack of customer service, limited choice in supermarkets, dangerous car driving, a high number of strikes, no one clears up after their dog, government services failing, SEF/AIMA - backlog of 400,000 applications and seems like society is suffering from an impovarised malaise - most graduates leave as soon as they can. Even the Brazilians are leaving in high numbers. Added to the fact that 20% of the electorate voted for the anti-immigration party in the last election. 1 in 5 do not want us here!

Thank you sharing your thoughts. It certainly is a big commitment to consider. I will continue to move towards that goal and continue to listen to people who have done it for advice. Thank you.

Short term rentals are one of the reasons formerly great towns and cities are turning to ghost towns. Pure greed on the part of "landlords" a.k.a. land-hoarders. What do they expect when they drive out all the locals??
