We know that many of our clients, especially those of you in the UK, are missing being here in the Algarve at the moment. It really is a huge injustice how the Algarve was excluded from the list of destinations deemed as safe to travel to for UK holidaymakers. We were painted with the same brush as Lisbon where the Covid infection rates are a little higher than the UK, and whilst exceptions were made for Madeira and The Azores, the Algarve with one of the lowest infection rates in Europe has been excluded, and very unfairly treated.

This Summer Exclusive Algarve Villas have some beautiful properties for sale in Central and Western Algarve regions.

The small port town of Fuzeta in the eastern Algarve is well-known amongst foodies as being home to some of the Algarve’s best fish restaurants, but less known is the history of winemaking in the area and the new wave of wines being produced, and there is even a local craft beer. The Fine & Country East Algarve office, located in the nearby village of Santa Luzia, has a new listing on the books that it perfect for food and wine lovers.

When the pandemic hit Portugal and most of Europe back in March, many were expecting a total meltdown of the property market, especially as far as international buyers are concerned.
But as we write this in June, whenPortugal is slowly emerging from lockdown, the reality is quite different. Here at Fine & Country Algarve we kept very busy during the lockdown.

At Fine & Country Algarve we have seen a strong surge in buyer interest from all of our key markets with May enquiries up by more than 30% compared to May last year. Overall, since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic we have registered an increase in demand and it seems to us that the desire to invest in Algarve property is stronger than ever.

Many people are wondering what has happened to the housing market in the Algarve during these extraordinary times effecting the whole World. Whether the property prices are dropping, or interest from buyers is decreasing and if contracts are not completing.
