Madeira is Portugal's most expensive region for homeowners looking to swap an apartment for a house, according to the latest figures from property portal Imovirtual.
The analysis compares average asking prices recorded over the past three months with those from the same period last year. In Madeira, moving from an apartment to a house requires an average additional investment of €300,000, the highest premium anywhere in the country.
The Algarve follows closely with an average price difference of €285,000, followed by Setúbal (€260,000) and Lisbon (€259,750). Conversely, some inland regions, such as Coimbra, show houses costing less than apartments, with an average saving of €165,000.
