Portugal posts the greatest increase in house prices in the EU in 2Q

Portugal saw the biggest increase in house prices, both Year-on-Year and Quarter-on-Quarter in the European Union in the second quarter of 2025, according to the latest data from Eurostat.

House prices were up +17.2%, Bulgaria (+15.5%), and Hungary (+15.1%) were the three countries that saw the greatest increases in house prices compared to the same period in 2024.

Compared to the first three months of the year, Portugal once again occupies the top position in terms of house price increases, with an increase of 4.7%, which led the Government to approve in recent weeks an extended plan aimed at the sector. In the QoQ comparison, Luxembourg (+4.5%) and Croatia (+4.4%) followed.
