Avenidas Novas lead price in Lisbon

Over the last three months (February to April), the Urban Rehabilitation Area (ARU) of Lisbon registered around 1,300 transacted houses, maintaining the activity stable compared to the previous three months. During this period, the sale average was of €3,974/m2 in the Lisbon ARU, remaining practically unchanged compared to the average of transactions in the previous quarter.

The parish of Avenidas Novas was the territory with the best performance in the ARU, as geography was the second zone with the highest number of transactions (11% share, right after the parish of Arroios, whose share is 13%). where the market reached the highest selling prices, being the only one above €6,000/m2. This result comes from the activity of sale of new homes, whose average price was close to €8,000/m2, visibly exceeding in this segment the €6,400/m2 observed in the parish of Santo António. In the case of this last parish, these last months were also positive, with an increase of 46% in the number of sales, after a drop of 67% in the previous quarter (compared to the average of the two previous quarters). The average of sales in the parish of Santo António reached a value of €5,206/m2. In all the other parishes covered by the Lisbon ARU, sales did not exceed €4,700/m2, with Misericórdia, Santa Maria Maior, Estrela and Campo de Ourique being included in the €4,000/m2 level.
