The real estate market in the Autonomous Region of Madeira continued on its upward trajectory at the beginning of 2026, with significant increases in both renting and selling, according to the General Barometer of January 2026.
In the rental segment, the average rent in Madeira reached 1,700 euros in January, registering a monthly increase of 21.4% and a year-on-year increase of 13.3%. Although in global terms, the autonomous regions showed a slight correction to a regional average of € 850, Madeira stood out again as one of the most pressured markets in the country.
At the national level, the average rent reached 1,450 euros, reflecting an increase of 7.4% compared to December and a year-on-year growth of 16%, confirming the continued pressure on the rental market.
Also in the buying and selling market, Madeira maintained a strong upward trajectory. The average selling price in the Region stood at 600,000 euros in January, with a monthly increase of 4.3% and a year-on-year increase of 17.6%, remaining among the most valued markets in the country.
In the autonomous regions as a whole, the average selling price reached 300,000 euros, which corresponds to a year-on-year increase of 41.2%. In national terms, the average selling price stood at 435,000 euros, with an annual growth of 11.5%.
According to Imovirtual, January data confirm that renting continues to grow at a faster pace than sales, intensifying pressure on access to housing, particularly in large urban centers, in the South, and in some island regions, such as Madeira. In parallel, the buying market continues its upward trend.
