18 March 2019 – Richard D. K. Turner
. The lack of available residential properties and the accompanying increase in housing prices has led to difficulties for Portuguese families looking to acquire a home.
The analysis was based on the buyers’ income, a 20% down payment, a mortgage covering the remaining 80% of the acquisition value, and a 2.9% APR. Data from Pordata (2016) was used to calculate average salaries, and average prices were compiled using data from Casa Sapo, Idealista and Imovirtual for two and three-bedroom homes (per square meter).
