Today we are going to Portugal, to learn about Ana and Antonio’s selling story. 

Portugal has had a relatively 'good' pandemic, holding one of the world's highest rates of vaccination and citizens who have really tried to make social distancing and mask-wearing work. That's reflected in the way the property market picked up in 2021, with a high number of transactions - volumes were up 25%, at a value 38% more than in 2020, with prices rising throughout the year.  

Portuguese luxury property has been the surprise stand-out sector of the pandemic. While the market has been flooded with small flats as the AirBNB business collapsed - there are some real bargains below EUR 1m right now in Lisbon and Cascais - bigger homes with more space, both indoors and outdoors, have seen a massive increase in demand.

Portugal has been one of the most successful of EU countries at suppressing the coronavirus pandemic; though it had a second wave in January, it now has new cases down to just a few hundred a day, and deaths in single figures. That's a remarkable performance. Italy, for instance, is still seeing over 10,000 new cases a day.
