According to a study by idealista/news, there are several
municipalities where you can find cheaper houses for sale, as is the case of
Penamacor, in the district of Castelo Branco, where buying a house cost 399
euros per square meter (euros/m2), on average, in the second quarter of 2022.
From the list of the 25 cheapest municipalities to buy a
house in Portugal, Penamacor is in first place followed by the municipality of
Nisa, in Portalegre, which has house prices of 427 euros/m2. Figueira de
Castelo Rodrigo, in Guarda, is in third place. Here, buying a house costs 428
euros/m2.
Among the municipalities where buying a house costs less

Crato, in Portalegre (431 euros/m2);
Sabugal, in Guarda (442 euros/m2);
Penacova, in Coimbra (448 euros/m2);
Góis, Coimbra (459 euros/m2);
Gavião, in Portalegre (466 euros/m2);
Tondela, in Viseu (480 euros/m2);
Celorico da Beira, in Guarda (485 euros/m2);
Fronteira, in Portalegre (486 euros/m2).
For less than 600 euros per m2 it is possible to buy a house
in the municipalities of Arganil, in Coimbra (504 euros/m2); Sever do Vouga, in
Aveiro (508 euros/m2); Carregal do Sal, in Viseu (513 euros/m2); Castro Daire,
in Viseu (516 euros/m2); Vouzela, in Viseu (520 euros/m2); and Santa Comba Dão,

Most expensive
According to the study carried out by idealista, Lisbon is the
most expensive place to buy a property where the m2 costs 5,000 euros.
Then come Cascais (4,116 euros/m2), Grândola (3,824
euros/m2), Loulé (3,369 euros/m2), Oeiras (3,262 euros/m2) and Lagos (3,220
euros/m2).
A good question is, per square metre of what? True internal living space, or the fake number the estate agents always quote that includes balconies, verandas, garages, etc which is usually (more than) double the real number?

There is nothing much there in those places touted as "cheap" ; fires, perhaps. But health, education, sports facilities, decent shops, decent public transport - all missing. Severe water shortages. In some of those places, there isn't even Wifi. Welcome to whoever wants to live in nowhere land.
