Property prices in Lisbon vary widely by neighbourhood, size and condition, so a single citywide average only tells you so much. As of 2026, use the figures below as a guide, then check a specific home against recent local sales to know what it is really worth.
What is the average property price in Lisbon?
As of 2026, a two-bedroom apartment in Lisbon typically costs around €330,000, and the citywide figure works out to roughly €5,082 per square metre. Lisbon is the dearest of Portugal's 277 municipalities and sits well above the national median of €2,168, which is the gap that makes moving out of the city so tempting and so consequential. Treat these as a rough guide: prices vary widely by area, size and condition, so check a specific home against recent local sales.

Averages are a starting point, not an answer. Two homes on the same street can sell for very different amounts, so treat any headline number for Lisbon as a rough guide and look closer for a specific property.
Why do prices vary so much across Lisbon?
Location does most of the work, and it works at every scale. Central and sought-after areas such as Baixa and Chiado, Bairro Alto and Príncipe Real, Estrela and Lapa typically command more, while neighbourhoods like Campo de Ourique and Parque das Nações can offer better value. Within any area, the exact street, floor, view and condition all move the price.
What moves Lisbon prices up and down?
- Location, from the district down to the exact street and floor.
- Size and layout, where usable, well-arranged space beats raw square metres.
- Condition and energy efficiency, increasingly important as running costs rise.
- The wider market, including interest rates and local supply and demand.
