Short answer
The Azores real estate market is active but varies by island, with demand outpacing supply in popular areas like Ponta Delgada. Prices have risen in recent years, driven by local buyers, foreign investors, and limited new construction. However, the market is less speculative than mainland Portugal. For current trends, check local agency listings and official statistics from the Portuguese property portal Idealista or the National Statistics Institute (INE).
