How did CASAFARI’s Lisbon property data coverage expand in Q3 2018?

Lisbon is one of the most charming and charismatic cities in Europe, full of Portuguese character but with flourishing links to international cultures. This municipality caters to a range of lifestyles, from the family-friendly Campo de Ourique to the bohemian Bairro Alto.

CASAFARI gathered data from 23 parishes, resulting in almost 360,000 listings across 215 public sources. This is a substantial increase from the 52,000 listings we gathered in our July 2018 Lisbon Market Report, reflecting CASAFARI’s rapidly growing scope as a platform and metasearch for accurate property data.

Which Lisbon parishes had the highest and lowest active listing volumes?

Arroios has by far the most active property listings, with a figure of 571. At the bottom end is the northern parish of Santa Clara with 38, which is in huge contrast to its less rural neighbours Olivais and Lumiar which each have over 300 properties listed.

How did residential asking prices per square metre compare across Lisbon?

Santa Clara is also the most affordable area with an average asking price of €2,577 per square metre, according to CASAFARI’s Q3 2018 Lisbon Market Report, which is consistent with the July 2018 report; this is an indication of the parish’s more rural environment compared with the rest of the city’s more urban modernity, which is in much higher demand.

In keeping with this principle, Santa Maria Maior and Santo Antonio, two parishes that comprise the historic old town, recorded the highest average asking prices in the Q3 2018 report at €5,934 and €5,832 per square metre respectively. As also mentioned in our July 2018 report, the traditionally cheaper area of Alcantara reached an average asking price of €4,229 per square metre in Q3 2018, reflecting its growing reputation as a hub of culture; this represents growth from the July 2018 average asking price of €4,046 per square metre.
