Note: Porto's inconsistent numbers are due to a limited supply of rental units. This is possibly due to Portugal's Golden Visa program.

Portugal's Historic Rental Yield Data

Navigatable historical rental yield data.

Research Methodology: To conduct this research, we searched for studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, and 4-bedroom apartments in the largest cities of Portugal. We used the Idealista website for both buying and renting prices to determine the average gross rental yields (Monthly Rent x 12 / Purchase Price).

For instance, if the monthly rent is $500 and the purchase price is $100,000, the calculation would be: $500 (Monthly Rent) x 12 / $100,000 (Purchase Price) = 6% (Gross Rental Yield).
