Porto blends tradition architecture with modern innovation real estate, and attracts large numbers of tourists, fueling investor properties, plus private buyers looking for luxury property to be near Porto as it is a major cultural, commercial, and educational hub in Portugal, as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
"Cheap property" in the luxury market doesn't always mean a low price, as a 'luxury property' that is undervalued for the current real estate market place status can be seen as being cheap.
A $1M home might be "cheap" compared to others at $2M that are located in Porto, but the price difference for what seems to be very similar properties could be for a wide range of reasons.
If the luxury property has become distressed or foreclosed they are often sold below market value and at time through auctions. Or it could be the seller, for personal reasons like a job relocation has special reasons for letting the property be sold at a very low rate.
In emerging luxury markets luxury could be listed as undervalued in relation to future expectations, for areas such as growing neighborhoods in cities that are becoming popular, like those with infrastructure improvements or tourism growth.
Luxury buyers often have leverage as they have the financial means to purchase, especially in slow markets where borrowing from a bank is harder.
Properties bought below market value in luxury areas, such as Porto property listings for sale by owner especially when looking at cheap Porto real estate listings by owner which can be cheaper than listed via an agent, can often see strong appreciation if buying below market value.
Economic or political fluctuations can temporarily depress prices, allowing investors to acquire premium assets at a cheaper rate.
