Bank valuation of houses rises from 25 euros in April to 1,356 euros/m2

Compared to the same period of the previous year, the median value of assessments grew by 13%, reveals the INE.

When applying for a mortgage to buy a house, one of the steps to take is the bank evaluation of the property, which in Portugal continues to break records every month. And what the most recent data from the National Institute of Statistics (INE) tell us is that, in April, the median value of bank evaluation stood at 1,356 euros per square meter (euros/m2), 25 euros more than in the month previous year (1,331 euros/m2). It's the biggest jump ever. “The biggest increase compared to the previous month was registered in the Center (1.7%). The only regions that showed a negative chain variation were the Autonomous Regions of the Azores and Madeira (-0.5% and -0.3%, respectively). Compared to the same period of the previous year, the median value of assessments grew by 13%, with the most intense variation in the Algarve (16.2%) and the smallest in the Autonomous Region of the Azores (6.7%)”, reads in the note released by INE.

15% more bank reviews than a year ago

For the calculation of the median value of bank appraisal in April, 32,343 appraisals were considered, 15% more than in the same period of the previous year, of which 20,728 were apartments and 11,615 were houses. “It should be noted, however, that this evolution should reflect a base effect, as the first months of 2021 were affected by the worsening of containment measures associated with the pandemic situation experienced. Compared to the previous period, 300 more bank assessments were carried out, which corresponds to an increase of 0.9%”, adds the INE.
