Bragança being the cheapest apartment market in Portugal isn’t the headline — the real surprise is how far it sits below the rest. In the 6 Jun 2026 snapshot, the city’s median asking price was just €153,808, while the next cheapest city, Castelo Branco, came in at €246,581. That’s a huge gap for buyers scanning Portugal for realistic entry points.
The broader low-cost list still offers options under €300,000, with the top 10 stretching only from Bragança to Santo Tirso at €290,526. Cities like Moita (€261,229), Barcelos (€266,112), and Ovar (€270,995) show that affordable apartment stock is still available outside the country’s biggest metro areas.
What’s also interesting is that price and inventory don’t always move together. Moita had the deepest pool of listings in the group at 338, while Santa Maria da Feira and Barcelos were close behind at 317 and 316 respectively. For buyers, that means the cheapest market isn’t always the easiest one to shop — but there are still multiple places where sub-€300k apartments remain on the table.
