Braga is the district capital with the greatest dynamic in the creation of new residential supply, after the metropolitan capitals of Lisbon and Porto, concludes the most recent results from the Braga Urban Observatory. A partnership between ‘Confidencial Imobiliário’ and Braga City Council, this platform brings together the main statistics relating to the residential market in this municipality, with quarterly updates on housing supply and demand indicators, as well as prices and rents.

Minho City is definitely on the route of real estate developers standing out, in addition to Lisbon and Porto, as the district capital with the highest volume of dwellings with a licensing request in 2023. Only those two district capitals, with pipelines in 2023 in the order of 2,400 to 2,500 dwellings, surpass the dynamics of Braga, where requests were registered for the licensing of 1,062 new dwellings during the course of last year.

The remaining district capitals place the pipelines between a maximum of 805 dwellings counted in Leiria and a minimum of less than 50 dwellings in Portalegre. Cities with a strong university, business and/or tourist vocation, such as Aveiro and Coimbra, have pipelines in the order of 600 and 500 dwellings, respectively.
