Source: Pexels Author: Redaction According to Knight Frank ’s latest report on the global real estate market, received in a statement by SUPERCASA Notícias newsroom, the average house price continued to rise in the last four months of 2023 . The Global House Price Index now released by London-based real estate and offices on five continents, a Portuguese partner company Quintela and Penalva, reveals that prices are rising at a faster pace since the end of 2022. The report also indicates an average annual growth of 3.9% taking into account the main markets analyzed. Of the 56 markets monitored, only 18 saw prices decrease in the fourth quarter, a decrease from the previous quarter, when 21 markets showed the same trend. The main driver of rising prices has been product shortages in many markets. This is the case in the US, where rising mortgage rates have discouraged potential real estate sellers as they risk having to pay a significantly higher mortgage rate when buying their next home. In addition, this shortage of available real estate was intensified by a slowdown in the delivery of new housing as a result of supply disruptions affecting the construction sector in several of the major markets studied over the past four years. Portugal is in 18th place in the ranking of the fastest growing countries (5.3% to 12 months; 1.2% to 6 months) and with a slight decrease in the last quarter (0.3%), and according to Francisco Quintela, founding partner of Quintela and Penalva, Portugal continues to perform well and attract investors from all over the world . And he adds, in the note to which SUPERCASA Notícias had access: the prices that grow the most are, in fact, in the noble and central areas of the city of Lisbon, regarding the residential market, and the trend should continue throughout 2024. The demand for our country remains solid and Portugal is an alternative for many countries living moments of uncertainty. Follow more topics like this in SUPERCASA Notícias

Source: Freepik Author: Redaction The Municipality of Esposende changed its initial version of the Local Housing Strategy (ELH), approved in September 2021. This proposal included the acquisition and rehabilitation of fractions or buildings for housing to rehouse 91 families, however, this was changed, now contemplating the construction of 104 fires in the municipality with 91 of which to be allocated to the lease at affordable costs, and the remaining 13 for rehousing those affected by interventions in the municipality. The reality of the real estate market in the municipality has imposed several constraints to the materialization of this housing solution, due to the scarce supply and very high prices , indicates the municipality. Thus, although resources from the municipality have been allocated to develop solutions, the implementation of the housing solution initially planned proved to be unfeasible , having been the need to find another type of response to address existing shortages regarding access to housing . Initially, t he ELH of Esposende had an overall investment of around 23 million euros. Now, having changed the version of the document, there is still no indication of a new investment value, although, as indicated by the camera, it is a large-scale investment. Benjamim Pereira, president of the municipality, stresses that t he municipality will continue to promote solutions for people living in unworthy conditions and who do not have the financial capacity to bear the cost of access to adequate housing.

According to architect Nuno Poiarez, co-founder of Visioarq: (...) considering the private green park with approximately 3 hectares existing in the NATURA land, each interior space reflects and lives from the outside, through transparent buildings, where the reflection of natural space and interior light assume a key element, also valuing the concept of Home Living designed in defragmented spaces to enhance the family experience... . The simplicity, lightness and comfort of the project , which provides housing typologies, from T1 to T4, with greater offer in types T2 and T3 for families of greater or lesser dimension privilege the centrality of urban life (restaurants, cafes, playgrounds, schools, colleges, universities and two metro stations), but also privacy and outdoor living with tranquility, among trees, mirrors of water and pedestrian paths (30,000 m2 of approximate existing green area). For Ana Jordão, Residential Business Development Director - Porto Division of Savills Portugal: (...) the excellence factor of the commercialized apartments is immediately ensured by the quality and selection of the materials used, which sustain the connection to the beauty of the entire natural surroundings, through extensive glass panels generous balconies with unobstructed views and private gardens, which invite you to enjoy a healthy lifestyle, increasingly important and valued in today’s society .

Source: Freepik Author: Redaction It was during the 2nd Edition of the La Toja Forum - Atlantic Bond, that Carlos Moedas, Mayor of Lisbon, asked the Institute for Housing and Urban Rehabilitation (IHRU) for speed in approving the housing projects submitted. These are projects valued at 540 million euros, with funding from the Resilience Recovery Plan (PRR), which are pending the response of the institute. I can no longer complain to Prime Minister António Costa, but we have already put 540 million applications for IHRU. But now I can no longer complain there, I will complain to the [current] prime minister now to tell him that we need very, very, very - and I think Rui [Moreira] too - in the city councils that these proposals that are in IHRU are approved quickly , said Carlos Moedas, at the conference that brought together the president of the city of Lisbon and Rui Moreira, Mayor of Porto. The two mayors stressed the investments made in strengthening the housing stock, stressing that the challenge faced by the two metropolitan areas is not only to address the lack of housing for the most vulnerable people, but also for working classes such as teachers, firefighters or nurses. The leader of the municipality of Porto also said that the problem of pressure on housing mainly harms the middle classes, who do not have the capacity to acquire a house: at the same time, we created a set of rules that made construction more expensive. Which is a surprising thing. And then, of course, we have to allocate public resources and invite the private to share in this effort. That is, housing has to be a financial market as well. There can be no certainty that only with political funds will we solve the problem, he indicated. According to Rui Moreira, about 13.5% of the population of Porto lives in social housing, with average rents of 58 euros, which represents a cost of 60 million euros per year to the municipality. Thus, it argues that there should be more demand on cities that live on transfers from the central state, unlike what happens with the two metropolitan areas of Porto and Lisbon. And, once again, I will be politically incorrect and say that some of these cities must be forced to affect part of the resources that the central state transfers to them to build public housing. Otherwise, the pressure on Barcelona or on Lisbon or on Porto is enormous because we are building it to have pressure from those who are in municipalities that do not invest in social housing , he argues. He also said that i n the municipalities around Porto, there is only 2% of social housing , while in Porto the percentage rises to 13%: it is not possible. We are creating an artificial migration. We have an artificial migration by other municipalities prefer to build statues than to build social housing,, he says.

In this context, an exceptional and temporary regime dedicated to substantial reduction or elimination of rates of urbanization, construction, use and occupation and the application of VAT at the minimum rate of 6% in construction and construction services and rehabilitation and extension of deductibility . Thus, VAT will increase from 23% to 6% in all construction and rehabilitation works in general, something that professionals in the sector and APPII - Portuguese Association of Real Estate Developers and Investors had already appealed , and to which is now given a response by the Government.

In order to implement this measure, the Government of Montenegro shall either advance the reduction or elimination of the abovementioned rates and the application of the VAT rate at the minimum rate of 6% in all construction or rehabilitation interventions with the aim of increasing private supply, public and cooperative housing , but also a Public-Private Partnerships Program to build and rehabilitate large-scale real estate, both housing for students and general housing, and stimulate, as well as facilitate, new accommodation concepts in the Portuguese market . This last proposal involves regulation of concepts such as built to rent, Mixed Housing with urban density bonuses for affordable housing, coliving, modular housing, dual flexible use of student residences and housing cooperatives. Real estate developers are happy with measures Hours after the Program of the XXIV Constitutional Government was announced, the Portuguese Association of Real Estate Developers and Investors (APPII) applauded the proposals , in particular the reduction of VAT to 6% in the construction and rehabilitation of housing, pointing out that they had long claimed by the sector. We were very pleased to see that the most important of the measures claimed by the sector was now included in the Government Program, the reduction of VAT for affordable housing, says Hugo Santos Ferreira, President of APPII, making it clear that just a joint effort to bring more construction to everyone can help solve the housing problem.

To this end, the application for the transfer of powers to carry out interventions was submitted to the Lisbon City Council, so that the fires can be rehabilitated and placed in the accessible rental market through public tenders. Miguel Coelho underlines that the proposal will respond to the needs of people who were forced to leave the parish, either through evictions or through real estate bullying, economic pressure, but who have always wanted to live here.
