Why did you move to Portugal? Share your story! ❤ We will be doing more of these videos with real estate around Portugal and in different price segments. Where should we go?

Lisbon and others portuguese cities are losing their local residents because portugueses people cant afford these crazy prices. Without there people, cities are just buldings without soul.

I love u both but honestly, as a 30 year old portugueses woman, i’m very sad with this type of vídeo. I’m privileged, 30 years old, married with a salary below but close to the average and a house bought for less than 200k but It’s not a house to start a family (because my parents helped me otherwise it would be impossible). Regardless of my parents help, tese houses are completely beyond our ability to buy because there is a constant incentive for foreigners and investors to buy. I have friends aged 40 who live in rooms costing half their salary. Couples who separate and have to continue living together because they can’t afford a house individually. It causes enormous frustration to continue to say that Portugal is an affordable place to live when we receive 125 euros as a handout from the government to face inflation. I studied in Lisbon in 2010 and returned to live in 2018. It’s very sad to see the city completely lost its character, sad to reach an age where we should have stability without the ability to have an individual space, have children or be able to enjoy the cultural and gastronomic life. We live to pay expenses and save. If we make it. We support tourism but we cannot support the decrease in our quality of life as portuguese without a place where we can live with dignity. Your affordable is our luxury

That same house 10 years ago, would be less than 150k.... It's incredible the prices now!!

You have exquisite taste in travel, I agree with all your tastes. That's why I really enjoy watching your content. I have chosen Portugal as my next travel destination thanks to your channel.

Portugal is a beautiful country full of friendly people, fantastic food, safety, stability & affordability. I love Portugal. One day I will move there.

Portugal is becoming an elite country, students can't find place to rent, and the young generation can't aford the cost of renting or buying, let see if 2023 we will see something changing this trend. BTW great video as usual.

This was wonderful and so helpful! Thank you!❤❤❤

New Subscriber! Visiting Lisbon next month ❤ Thank you so much for the information.

This video is great - highly informative and entertaining. So much helpful information. Didn't realize how much more (relatively) affordable rents in Lison are when compared to Portugal. It's om my shortlist. *and Tony loves the ducks*

Olá Amélia & Joen 👋🏻 it’s so good to catch your video! This was great! It’s fun looking at apartments.

These prices are ridiculously overpriced/ overvalued.

Holy good lord the prices there have gone crazy. I lived in south of Spain back in 2019 and would go up to Lisbon often, it was less than half that price. I’m heading back to Portugal later this year, I’ll be going to the smaller towns just because of the costs. USA isn’t any better price wise I suppose.

760,000 EUR is affordable? I almost fell out of my chair. That is ridiculously expensive for most people on the planet and only "affordable" for the rich. What are you smoking dude? And that too these prices for Portugal? Totally Ridiculous. Portugal is in an epic housing bubble and the story is similar to what happened in Spain in 2008, this will end in tears.

Great video guys! My family is from Portugal and to be honest moving back crosses my mind often. Thanks for sharing!

such advertising will encourage an increase in real estate prices for domestic residents.....

love this guys! maybe good to allude to potentila lssue like road noise? not sure but the place with the orange tree seemed like it might suffer from that if it was near road level

Driving housing prices up and what about the local Portuguese? Tourism is good, it can help bring about positive change but provided its done in a controled manner......and there is no guarantee that they will take up and help preserve the Portuguese culture......which to me is what is the most important...... They must adapt to the Portuguese not the other way around....

As beautiful as some of the places are the prices seem heavily inflated and with the rising interest prices I can see a crash happening . Only time would tell but I think I’d wait a few years before buying to see what happens

Ah, thing is Portugal should adopt Canada rule of no outsiders buying houses, people moving to Portugal from places were they get better payed are making the prices of houses skyrocket and directly impacting me and everyother young portuguese person possibility of being indepent. I like interacting with turists, i really do but pls, youre actively ruining Our future

Always loved Lisboa, and knew it was a popular destination. But, didn’t realise how pricey the properties were due to popular demand! Awesome video and great movie references ❤

This is a beautiful apartment but 750,000 euros!!!! Are you kidding??? You think that is affordable??? In what universe??!

Great video! At the end you mentioned you are making an update video about your own Villa -project. One year ago in your video (which you linked in the end of this video) the asking price of these ”Saudade Villas” were 1,6M€. Now thay are asking 3,3M€! I wonder how these prices have doupled on these Saudade Villas, as in average yearly rise of home prices on Madeira have been like +10%, not +100%?

Very nice apartments, but the prices seem a bit high. Would be nice to see a video with more affordable prices to see what you’d get.

First 5 seconds of the video ¨Lisbon is the best city in the word"...first house in the video 1 million euros...Average salary in the country 800 euros...loool it is indeed the best in the world...

You should come back in São Miguel in few years. A lot of new restaurants are opening due to the influex of tourists/foreigners.

at the rate prices increase in Portugal, i'm not sure this will last long. I hate barking dogs too. I don't understand why it's considered normal here. Imagine your neighboors yelling all day long? You would call the police at some point. But somehow when it's a 4 leggeds animal it's all ok.

The prices are gone up hugely due to these Americans flocking to Europe ...

Wow those prices are crazy high, even on american standards !

Living in Lisboa since 2019 and dont want to go any another country. ❤

What about utilities? What’s included? Internet service?

promoting an already inflated real estate market. great idea! We'll see how it goes when the bubblish market will implode: most of credit is in floating rates in PT and interest rates are on the raise...

EEEE can you do Porto next? Looking at both rentals and buying?

Speculation is killing the real estate market, it's a buble. In a matter of years not even the Portuguese high middle class will be able to afford buying a house, when digital nomads earn 8000/month and don't mind paying a 2000+ rent for an average appartnent. But this bubble will burst soon, just watch.

Beautiful but way more expensive than I can afford. Any budget recommendations? Southern Italy is looking better everyday.

Please go watch the benfica sporting in estadio da luz day 15

You guys are back in Lisbon!!!!!!!!!!!

So glad to see your videos again. Have been to Lisbon two times and do love it here. Am seriously thinking about moving and buying a place. Will have to get in contact with Maria, thanks for the hook up. I see you are getting close to almost 100,000 congrats. Where will you put the plaque🎉? Going to check out your new house plans. HAPPY NEW YEAR………🤗🇨🇦

What up my boys!

I’d have to have my American fridge (smart fridge with screen, Alexa….), 5 burner stove top in a large kitchen island, wall mounted full size oven and microwave combo unit.

You guys have to go to Guimarães in the North of Portugal. There's where portugal was born! I am from there

I am from Beirut lebanon. Planning to apply soon for the D7 visa. I pray for peace in this amazing country. Good luck for all the Americans who moved to this country and hopefully you will be blessed with good opportunities and happier life away

You guys targeting American clicks lately...🤑

While the number of Americans moving to Portugal is definitely on the rise, they (we) still don't crack the top-10 of countries immigrating to Portugal. I would also note, that although immigration has increased more than 40% over the last ten years the overall population has still decreased by 2% over the same decade due to emmigration of Portuguese people.

Will expat americans become portuguese, or turn Portugal into a Puerto Rico?

"Affordable" Nothing in this video is affordable. Americans(read Californians) are swarming Lisbon ruining it in the process. For them everything is "affordable". Lisbon is turning into a theme park. The restaurants are worse and more expensive by the day. I went to a bar called Foxtrot the other day. It was this speakeasy style bar, heavy smoke, cool atmosphere. Now it turned into an instagram bar, no smoking, filled to the brim with liberal americans. It was always expensive, but now it is expensive and shit. Who puts cinnamon in a Grasshopper?!? This week, I went to book a table at Bonsai. The thing about Bonsai was the ramen they did traditional style that took 4 days to make. So I call 5 days in advance to book the ramen. They don't have it anymore!!! Why??? It was the whole point of that restaurant. For contrast, I went to Dom Tacho, lauded for the best francesinhas in Lisbon. And it was EMPTY! It's all fake, it's all for looks. I wouldn't mind americans if they were real americans, if they brought with them that southern food, that Texas BBQ. But no, these "Americans" bring nothing to the table, literally.

Well If you whant to stay in Lisbon you will pay A LOT (crazy values like the ones sugested here), but for those values you can buy a lot more and with even bether quality live style, plus cars, and even boats... SO I really sugest that any potencial buyer to see more and ask for more opinions, juts to be VARY HAPPY one this small litle garden. Respect Us and you will be just like our family. Enjoy

I’ve had a home here in Portugal for twenty-one years, relocating permanently two years ago from the US. I absolutely love the country, its people and culture, not to mention the many other positive aspects to this lovely corner of Europe. This being said, I am convinced that there will be, sooner or later, a reckoning insofar as the influx into the country of the likes of me and my family. Gentrification of the cities, particularly Lisbon and Porto, is occurring at an unsustainable pace. Many Portuguese are finding themselves locked out of home ownership by skyrocketing housing costs while attempting to sustain themselves and their families on comparatively meager wages. Though traditionally (at least for the past several decades) a tourist destination, the same is occurring in the Algarve. Although the government has taken some steps to alleviate this issue by eliminating the Golden Visa program and placing a moratorium in short-term rentals, other problems due to loose immigration policies persist. Public hospitals are experiencing rolling closures of specific departments due to a shortage of skilled medical professionals and financial stress on the national health system. It is my opinion that at some juncture the state will have no choice other than to close loopholes in the tax system that are benefitting expats at the expense of the citizens and national infrastructure. If the current policies haven’t yet raised eyebrows, it will only be a matter of time before the EU and Schengen Area take notice of this open door on the Iberian Peninsula. Despite English being the emerging lingua franca, many expats come without making a sincere effort to learn the language. The Portuguese are an incredibly warm and welcoming people whose generosity is yet another attribute of this wonderful country. Like all people, however, this hospitality is not without limit. I fear that we are testing the patience and means of our hosts.

Tell us how many dislikes you got so far.

What about a garage?

I'm an American still currently stuck in the US and I can promise you that moving to Portugal with these prices is not going to afford me a better life. Maybe if I were a millionaire or billionaire, but literally none of these places are affordable for regular Americans.

OK, look. She's adorable. He's funny. One of our favorite channels. These apartments make good real estate porn. But remember, the average Portuguese makes 33,000 EU a YEAR. Short of fantasy, only the 1 percent buy these. That's fine. But my guess is your viewers are young (KZfaq demo's) and these properties are not realistic for many viewers. Where are the Portuguese properties below 100,000 EU??? And your realtor, Maria with JLL seems perfect we'd hire her in a heartbeat but I wouldn't want to waste her time until the budget is half a million or higher. Will Portuguese citizens come to resent Expats moving in and inflating the market to unreasonable prices. I bet, yes! Following what has happened in the US is a terrible path forward. As always, worth watching but deflating and disappointing to many is my feeling. What kind of home can one buy with an income of 33,000 EU a year?

Now do a video about how many portuguese people living in Lisbon against how many foreigner are moving to big citys. The landlords are rising the prices so high that locals have no other choise to leave. When that happens the landlords renovate the building and make Arbnb or renting 10 times more to foreigners You guys leave in a parallel world here in Portugal.

No more golden visa, the colonizing it is ending! D7 it is also almost done, victory for Portugal!

Outstanding video.

Love your videos but these prices are not different than cities where people are moving from. These are not affordable unless you are down sizing from a 2 million dollar homes. If you would have titled this high end Lisbon apartments would have been better.

Way overpriced. The $3 million Villa wasn't even very nice. The only one I liked was the place with the orange tree that actually had some character. The others are soulless.

It's always gorgeous, though perhaps a bit deflating, to see what millionaires can afford.

2023 is the 100k year guys!

Eu amo el linguagem

for that much money I can buy 3 smaller houses in the US and rent them out for 1500$ each, who in the world would buy this? horrible investment

8:15 Someone should bring back the inquisition We can't allow facades like that any more

First ❤

I'm Portuguese and I love your videos,but I live in England , that's live..

Wow though the houses would be cheaper than here in Texas

Lisbon is beautiful and love ❤.

Another Fab video! But everything is very very pricey! The locals can only dream..... Its unfair.

I love this videos where you make it look like Portugal is really cheap and Portuguese people live high standards...it's totally the opposite. How can a person live on 850€ average income and pay 450€ monthly rent??? Portugal is cheap only for foreigners. Said. I'm sorry...

Sorry but why we are normalizing these high prices?? And some of these properties still need some work done 😅😅

O casal maravilha 👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂

Nothing inexpensive about Lisbon. I’ll pass.

Way way way too expensive No Way No thanks

If I were Portuguese I’d be fuming.

Well as a Pakistani I have a question, I am 40 years old. Today I have a choice to go to USA (process will take less then an year, H1B, will cost me around $8000 for processing) I am working in Portugal since 1 month in Telecom sector, on Tech Visa, 2000 euro plus salary. What advise will you give me, stay here or move to USA. Kindly support to make a choice for me and my family (Me, wife, mother, two little daughters). Thank you in advance.

Lisbon is absolutely gorgeous. I would totally leave canada for Portugal. My parents are from Azores. Hopefully God will give me the gift of living there some day. 🙏🇵🇹

Hi Amelia and Joen, so good to see you back in Portugal. I’ve missed your videos, I have had a love affair with Portugal all my life and just love seeing you explore all that Portugal has to offer. So much more than large fridges 😂 My family live in Azenhas do Mar, I spent most of my childhood holidays there and can recommend a lovely traditional Portuguese restaurant “Adega das Azenhas” and I highly recommend taking the tram from praia das Macas to Sintra, it really is lovely to see real Portuguese homes, can’t wait for your next video, much Love Julie

Don't. there's not enough houses for the locals.

hello guys!!!😂😀

How can I contact her to get an apartment

este video é só triste. os portugueses têm imensas dificuldades com os salários minimos e os preços não são de todo acessíveis. é claro que é barato e acessível para as pessoas em que o salario minimo é de 1200, que é o dobro do nosso. ficai no vosso país e não compliquem ainda mais as nossas vidas

a americana ela é muito bonita...

Affordable????? Only $$ Millionaires can afford any of the apartments you showed! :( :(

WHEREVER you move to, WHEREVER you are FROM, YOU should adapt to the Country you move TO! Learn the language adopt & embrace the Culture! To do ANYTHING else is disrespectful and defeats the point of moving to another country in my opinion 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

enjoyed your tours but not all Americans are rich... these homes seemed a bit large and expensive. Would love to see smaller

Wow wow wow I need to visit Portugal

3 million?????? My bedrooms are bigger than those and my house it's not 3 million. A malta de cascais é fina :) :)

Bubble real estate, realtors only care for fat comissions , good video , bad investment ideas . Look what is happening in bubble markets .

Thank you for promoting Portugal even more than what it is, helping destroy the property market. Please find other ways of making money, there is already a thousand American doing the same silly Portugal video

How on earth a couple needs to live in a T6 apartment.

Not in poor Portugal with life class deficiency. I purchased 3 family house in Florida near the beach for fraction of these prices.

Portugal não é só Lisboa ou Porto

If you delete my comments...I can't support the content...😉👌

Umm…seems stupid to not make prices more evident in the video.

14:11 WHAT?! It goes from a dark kitchen to entirely White... wormhole, glitch in the Matrix, what gives people?

Median US house price $400k. Interest rates 7%. For the bitcoin bros out there that's $30k/ year in interest alone. Wait till papa Powell brings them them to 9%. Ask those "rich Americans" what they can afford to pay then for this "refurbished" "busy street" old garbage. Pimping real estate = 11th hour of the krazee

Videos hyping this up only make the problem worse. Stop it.

You deserve at least 1 million subscribers. I don't understand this world!

Not anymore it’s not affordable … since American scrued it up for everybody now real estate is unjustifiably expensive. It was different 2 yers ago . It’s going to change soon and Portuguese will sit with expansive real estate on there hands 👍🏻👍🏻bc Americans will fined somewhere else to go. Plus most of homes are so purely finished.

We need to tell em those Karen's to speak Portuguese 😂😂😂

Have my own roots in Africa and in India, though being quite portuguese, I thrive in cosmopolitism and for many years dreamt with a multicultural country that Portugal has become. But not like this, pushing away all the Portuguese who cannot afford these prices. In that regard this whole video is obscene. Canada has already forbidden non resident foreigners from buying property, for this reason. It's time the same is done here.
