For the 4th quarter of 2025
DREM publishes information on the median price of family dwellings in the Autonomous Region of Madeira
Statistics Portugal (INE) published information today on the median price of family dwellings, referring to the 4th quarter of 2025. This note is divided into two sections: one with an analysis of the results for the reference quarter, taking into account only the three months of that quarter, and another with information for the last twelve months.
It should also be noted that results are also published on the number of family dwelling transactions, with data available since the 4th quarter of 2019.
It is also worth recalling that this information is produced from fiscal administrative data on Municipal Tax on Onerous Property Transfers (IMT) and Municipal Property Tax (IMI), provided monthly by the Tax and Customs Authority (AT) to Statistics Portugal (INE), based on a collaboration protocol established between these two institutions.
