Between July 2025 and June 2026, the median price of homes sold was €2,957/m² in Seixal, €3,387/m² in Almada and €2,882/m² in Barreiro. Here is what these figures from INE (the Portuguese national statistics institute) mean and how much it actually costs to buy a home in these municipalities.
Prices by municipality
These are the latest INE figures, released in October 2026. They refer to homes actually sold, not to the asking prices in listings.
| Almada | €3,387/m² |
| Seixal | €2,957/m² |
| Barreiro | €2,882/m² |
| Setúbal Peninsula | €2,890/m² |
| Portugal | €2,264/m² |
Almada is the most expensive of the three. Seixal and Barreiro are very close to each other and near the median for the Setúbal Peninsula, but all are above the national median.
Why a home today may cost more
The 12-month median looks backwards. In the second quarter of 2026 alone, the median price on the Setúbal Peninsula was €3,069/m², 22.2% higher than a year earlier, while the national rise was 18.4%. Over the same period, 9.0% fewer homes were sold in Portugal.
Lisbon remains on another level, at €5,299/m² in the same quarter. So use the table above as a starting point and expect higher figures for the homes on sale today.
What a T2 or a T3 costs
Multiplying each municipality's median by the floor area gives these reference figures for a T2 (two-bedroom home) of 80 m² and a T3 (three-bedroom home) of 100 m²:
| Almada (T2 / T3) | ≈ €271,000 / €338,700 |
| Seixal (T2 / T3) | ≈ €236,600 / €295,700 |
| Barreiro (T2 / T3) | ≈ €230,600 / €288,200 |
These are only reference figures, not the value of a specific home. Within the same municipality, the price varies considerably with the parish, the condition of the property, the floor, the parking and the distance to public transport. The median also combines new and second-hand homes, flats and houses.
What sets each municipality apart
- Seixal: direct Fertagus train to Lisbon from stations such as Corroios and Foros de Amora, and a choice that ranges from flats to the houses of Fernão Ferro.
- Almada: next to the 25 de Abril Bridge, with the Metro Sul do Tejo light rail, the ferry at Cacilhas and the beaches of Costa da Caparica.
- Barreiro: ferry link to Lisbon and trains to the rest of the peninsula.
How much money you need
Example with a €236,600 T2 in Seixal, as a permanent main home, with a 90% mortgage:
| Deposit (10%) | €23,660 |
| IMT, the property transfer tax (2026 table) | €6,104 |
| Imposto do Selo, or Stamp Duty (purchase) | €1,893 |
| Imposto do Selo (mortgage) | €1,278 |
| Deed and registration (Casa Pronta, the one-stop property desk) | €700 |
| Total to have available | ≈ €33,600 |
On top of this come the bank valuation and bank fees. Buyers aged up to 35 who meet the IMT Jovem (young buyers' exemption) rules no longer pay IMT or the Imposto do Selo on the purchase, a saving of about €8,000 in this example. For a specific home, use our IMT and Imposto do Selo calculator.
And if you would rather rent?
In new contracts in the second quarter of 2026, the median rent on the Setúbal Peninsula was €11.99/m² per month, against €10.17/m² nationally. For an 80 m² T2, that comes to about €960 a month.
