Start with the price per square metre
The price per square metre is one of the first indicators to consider. It allows you to compare properties of different sizes and provides a reference for the prices in a particular area.
According to the
SUPERCASA Price Report, in August 2026, the average asking price for properties for sale in Portugal was €3,066/m². However, there were significant regional differences: in the Lisbon district, the figure reached €4,592/m², while in the Guarda district it was €996/m².
Therefore, comparing a home only with the national average can provide an inaccurate picture. The most relevant approach is to analyse prices in the area where the property is located and, whenever possible, compare homes with similar features.
Location is not the only factor
Even within the same area, prices can vary considerably. Size, condition, year of construction and features such as a garage, lift, balcony or terrace can justify differences in price.
The exact location also matters. Two properties in the same parish or even on the same street can have different values, depending on their features and demand in the area.
That is why an average price should be seen as a starting point rather than a property valuation.
Compare the property with similar ones
After understanding the prices in the area, the next step is to analyse the property itself.
The
Appraise property by Infocasa allows you to obtain an estimated value based on market data and comparisons with similar properties. This provides a more specific reference for assessing whether the asking price is close to the expected value for that type of property.
For real estate professionals, Infocasa allows them to deepen this analysis and access market information to support property valuations and decision-making.
The asking price is not necessarily the final price
It is also important to distinguish between the asking price and the price at which a home is eventually sold. The asking price can be influenced by demand, the property's condition, location and the terms of the negotiation. Therefore, before making an offer, it is worth following a few simple steps: check prices in the area, compare similar properties and analyse the estimated value of the property in question.
