The trend is confirmed by LUXIMOS Christie’s International Real Estate, which recently reinforced its international strategy with a prominent presence at two of the sector’s biggest global events, held in New York and London.
The company, the exclusive representative of the Christie’s brand in the Algarve, Porto and the North of the country, has seen a growing demand from foreign investors, especially British and North American investors, motivated by the combination of stability, quality of life, security and tax attractiveness that Portugal offers.
“We have seen significant growth in demand from the British and, more recently, from North Americans. Portugal is now synonymous with stability, quality of life and tax attractiveness — three key factors for those investing in luxury real estate,” says Ricardo Costa, CEO of LUXIMOS Christie’s, quoted in a statement.
In New York, LUXIMOS was present at the 'Christie’s International Real Estate Summit 2025', where leaders from more than 40 countries gathered to discuss industry trends, including the application of artificial intelligence in luxury marketing. In London, the company participated in the 'A Place in the Sun Live' event, one of the most important in the United Kingdom for those looking to acquire properties abroad, where it directly contacted hundreds of potential buyers interested in living or investing in Portugal.
The presence in these two strategic markets — USA and the United Kingdom — reinforces Portugal's positioning as a top destination for premium real estate, at a time when the country is gaining international visibility as a solid alternative for residence or investment.
Tax attractiveness? I file taxes in the US and Portugal. Last year I received 1800 dollars back from the US and paid Portugal 9,600 euros on the exact same income. I am not complaining at all. I live in a modest house I purchased in the mountains. There are many reasons I moved to Portugal but taxes were not one. I also pay for my own healthcare as not to be a burden on the Portugal health system even though as a taxpayer and resident I could use the public system

As a response to Marie I have lived here permanently for 23 years and last year paid approx. €3000 in tax against a pension income of some €35000 for for the tax bill to be €9000 there must be a substantial income or some unusual situation. Incidentally I also have private health insurance so as not to be a burden on the NHS.
