House prices in Portugal have continued to increase in spite of the deep economic crisis caused by the pandemic. Says Expresso, April saw an increase of 3% in comparison to prices being asked “exactly a year ago” when the country was already grappling with the problems resulting from Covid-19. Citing the ‘Residential price index’ published by real estate market intelligence unit Confidencial Imobiliário, the paper adds: “If we compare the evolution of prices for April with the previous month, there is also a slight increase – albeit of 0.9%.”
