Our quarterly cross-market briefing: twenty-nine markets, the cost of borrowing as a foreign buyer, cycle position, tax by nationality, and the CASABROVA Score.
After Spain: Where Europe’s Foreign Property Money Goes Next
Spain is now late-cycle and crowded for foreign buyers — so where does Europe's property money rotate next? CASABROVA separates revealed preference, structural quality (the Score) and timing (the Master Index), and maps the case for Romania, Poland and the UAE.
CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — June 2026
June’s briefing is a one-time Score reset: Netherlands, Ireland and Poland cluster at the top; Spain, Portugal and Czechia remain in withdrawal; Greece is at peak; Germany and the UK move toward recovery; Romania enters the Virtual Portfolio.
The Yield Illusion: Why Municipal STR Regulations are Destroying Cross-Border Valuations
A massive "Yield Illusion" has formed. Investors are pricing properties based on historical cash flows, fatally ignoring that hyper-local municipal regulations have decoupled historical performance from future returns.
Iberian Crossroads: Portugal vs. Spain for Real Estate Investors in 2026
Spain has tightened STR rules and abolished its Golden Visa entirely. Portugal pivoted — lifting license freezes but doubling entry tax. A surgical comparison of the four vectors that matter.
Market Review — Porto
Porto is Portugal's second city and consistently ranks among Europe's best STR markets. At €2,500–3,500/sqm, prices are 25–35% below Lisbon while delivering comparable or higher STR yields of 7–10% in the UNESCO-listed Ribeira district and Cedofeita. Porto's compact historic center, Douro River cruises, and wine tourism drive 3M+ annual visitors.
Portugal's NHR (Non-Habitual Resident) tax regime historically attracted foreign investors, though it was reformed in 2024. Rental income tax is 25–28% for non-residents. The Golden Visa's real estate pathway was suspended in 2023, but existing holders retain benefits. Capital gains tax is 28%, or 50% exempt if reinvested in Portuguese property within 36 months.
Key considerations: Porto's Alojamento Local (AL) licensing for STR has become increasingly restricted in the historic center, pushing STR operations to peripheral neighborhoods like Bonfim and Campanhã. LTR yields of 4.5–5.5% remain attractive. The University of Porto (30,000+ students) provides reliable tenant demand. For Israeli investors, Porto offers direct budget flights from TLV.
