The South Bank of the Tagus is gaining weight in the property market premiumwith 244 transactions registered in the first half of 2025 and a turnover of more than 83 million euros, according to data from Remax Collection.
Growth has been supported by the search for privacy, larger areas and contact with nature, while maintaining easy access to Lisbon, highlights the real estate agency in a statement.
National buyers represented three quarters of operations, while German and North American investors came in second place, with around 4% each.
In total, customers of 18 nationalities made purchases in the region during this period, signaling international interest, although Portuguese residents dominate.
The areas that stand out most economically are Comporta and Tróia, associated with tourist projects and high-end offerings, and Azeitão and Serra da Arrábida, where housing and products related to gastronomy and wine tourism have increased in value, highlights the real estate agency in the same note. Setúbal also registers greater activity, with the emergence of new projects and subdivisions premium in areas with good connection to Lisbon.
As for demand factors, according to Remax Collection, the market values larger plots of land, privacy and a more rustic lifestyle with the presence of a beach, characteristics that differentiate Margem Sul from consolidated markets such as Cascais and Sintra and which provide more competitive prices and investment opportunities.
Regarding future developments, the announcement of infrastructure such as the new Alcochete airport — scheduled to open in 2036 — fuels expectations of appreciation in the region, says the same note.
