The average price of luxury developments in Portugal continues to increase with the highest values in the Algarve. This is one of the main conclusions of the study "Portugal-The Luxury Residential Tourism Market 2008". In the segment of residential luxury tourism the average price growth was of 18% in the apartments and about 19% in the Villas. In Condominiums with an integrated infrastructure management the average price increase was of 21% in the apartments and around 12,5% in the Villas. The luxury segment is pointed as a market niche, little explored and more stimulated in the last 3/4 years, being less vulnerable than the remaining real estate market.

This study was elaborated by IRG and Prime Yield and considered the analysis of 10 residential developments, 13 condominium developments and 4,200 individual units, during the year of 2007.

Last year, National Savings and Investment found that 25 per cent of British people would consider buying overseas where property is cheaper and they could save for a deposit on a house back in the UK, suggesting that the number of first-time buyers willing to invest in overseas property may have doubled in less than a year. The Fair Investment Company survey found that 44 per cent of first-time buyers would consider buying overseas and eight per cent have already done so, meaning over half of first-time buyers may end up buying abroad before purchasing in the UK.
