Residential prices in Brazil have been rising steady, with around a 100% increase since we last surveyed Brazil’s residential market 3 years ago. Yields in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo are moderately good, but certainly not spectacular.

Apartments in Rio have average yields of 6.52%, according to our research, which covers properties ranging from 65 square metres to 275 square metres.

Apartments in Sao Paulo have average yields of around 7.15%, for apartments measuring between 120 square metres and 450 square metres. Penthouses in Sao Paolo tend to yield more. Though the average Sao Paolo penthouse yield in our sample is just 7.35%, this is somewhat distorted by the presence of very large penthouses of 700 square metres in the sample. Small Sao Paolo penthouses can yield over 8%. (this is somewhat exceptional, that we trust our own figures enough to use them as a basis for price change.... but it IS three years, and there are no other figures. So we reckon it’s ok.
