There is no doubt that in Portugal, especially the Algarve has been one of the more favored holiday and investment destinations for some time, but historically it has tended to fall into the shadow of Spain which has attracted significantly more tourists that become property owners and property developers over the years.
Bad publicity, the recession and high unemployment rate have not been good for Spain.
Portugal came out of recession unofficially in the second half of 2009, leaving behind the UK, Spain, Greece and other well known countries.
Portugal’s increasing economy is currently attracting the attention of foreign investors but as ever there are large variations in property price activities across the country and you need to do your homework to ensure you know what you are investing in to.
Talk to real estate agents to find the good deals and you will see your investment go up in value.
