The property market in Portugal is recovering the growth trajectory it was on before the Covid-19 pandemic, a strengthening driven in a large part by the recovery of investor confidence. This is one of Savills' conclusions to the Portuguese real estate environment, which predicts that the sector's growth will continue into 2022.

From January to the fourth quarter of the year, 1.1 billion euros have been invested in commercial real estate in Portugal, and in the third quarter the volume of investment was 534 million euros.

Savills estimates that the 2 billion mark may be reached by the end of the year.

They also highlight the fact that foreign investment represents more than 80% of total transactions closed until September, registering a strong presence of French, British and Spanish investors. "However, domestic investment has been increasing, driven by investment management funds and private investors interested in acquiring products in the office and retail segments, with special interest in high foot traffic areas," the statement said.

Savills also considers that the residential sector should continue to see the reconfiguration of homes, "to better adapt to the needs of the occupants and the new reality of remote working".

"Additionally, demand for housing in large urban centres is also expected to be observed in the peripheral regions, which offer larger areas at lower prices.

Renting is expected to gain more ground, consolidating as a trend and as a necessity, especially for younger people. (...) However, the growing demand for the rental market is not yet accompanied by the available supply", says the consulting firm.

The commercial real estate market in Portugal is experiencing, in the final stretch of 2021, "times of great dynamism and a strong appetite on the part of players, across all real estate segments, helping to forecast a robust start for the beginning of 2022".

TRADITIONAL RITUALS

WE ARE EVERYWHERE WE ARE GLOBAL AGENTS WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

There are old habits that keep up - eating 12 raisins asking for 12 wishes at midnight with a glass of champagne in hand, it's just the beginning of a whole process in search of luck, although the taste of raisins is far from gathering consensus. Those who eat them during the 12 strokes ask for wishes for the following 365 days, in which the usual peace, health, love, work, family and happiness are usually included.

It is believed that toasting with champagne (and preferably in flutes) brings vitality and health, and that to strengthen good energies one should store the bottle stopper and only throw it away the following year.

Climbing to a chair or a high point is also lucky. According to tradition, you have to go up and down on your right foot (usually associated with luck) and with a note in your hand, to ensure prosperity during the new year.

Those who make noise with pots and pans in the new year - a stronger tradition in the south of the country and dating back to ancient pagan rituals - believe they are scaring away the evil spirits of the previous year. In Lisbon it was customary, in the 1950s and 1960s, to throw old plates and pots through the windows, however this habit was forbidden for obvious reasons.

What doesn't bother the neighbors is to open all the doors and turn on all the lights
