Summary

Fernando Ulrich analyzes Brazilian residential and commercial real estate performance and compares it with global housing markets using BIS data. He highlights stark divergences: Portuguese and Spanish residential property are booming while China is in a structural decline; Brazilian residential has recovered somewhat since 2022-23 but commercial real estate remains weak. He stresses that real estate investing depends on location and cycle timing.

  • Brazilian residential prices rose 59% real since 2008, with São Paulo up 66% and Rio de Janeiro only 36%.
  • Brazilian commercial real estate has fallen roughly 48-57% in real terms since 2014.
  • Total return from Brazilian residential rents since 2012 was about 35% real versus under 3% for commercial.
  • Portugal leads global residential gains with +15.2% real year-over-year and +155% since 2013.
  • China residential prices fell 7.1% real year-over-year and about 25% from their 2021 peak.
  • Spain residential prices are up 9.8% real year-over-year on immigration and scarce supply.
  • City selection and cycle timing are decisive for real estate returns.

Brazil residential property recovering recently.
Brazilian residential real estate has re-rated since 2022-2023. From Q4 2019 to Q1 2025 Brazil gained 8% in real terms, with a 5.4% real annual gain in the latest BIS reading, outperforming emerging markets and roughly tracking advanced economies. Ulrich stresses that cycle timing matters because 2015-2023 had no real gains and recent strength is cyclical rather than a simple location story.

São Paulo outperforms Rio residential property.
São Paulo residential real estate has been the relative winner in Brazil since 2008, with real sale prices up more than 66% versus 59% for the Brazilian average and 36% for Rio de Janeiro. Rio had a stronger 2014 peak due to the Olympics and oil sector, but since then it has faced a much sharper correction, so city selection is critical.

Brazil commercial property remains downtrend.
Brazilian commercial real estate is in a long post-2014 downtrend, with FipeZap real sale prices down nearly 48% in São Paulo, 50.2% for Brazil and almost 57% for Rio de Janeiro, and the decline continues year after year. This makes average Brazilian commercial property unattractive.

Portugal residential prices surge on immigration.
Portugal is one of the strongest residential housing markets globally: real prices rose 15.2% year-over-year in the latest BIS reading and are up about 155% since 2013. The driver is demand, especially record immigration and foreign investment, historically boosted by the Golden Visa program, while household leverage remains well below its 2009 peak, so the re-rating is not credit-driven.

China property decline persists on oversupply demographics.
China residential property is a structural bear story: prices fell 7.1% in real terms in the latest year and are down about 25% from the Q3 2021 peak, with persistent declines. Supply was massively overbuilt during the construction boom, population peaked near the same time as prices and is now shrinking, and household debt has stabilized or fallen, removing the credit bid.

Spain residential prices rise on scarce supply.
Spain's residential market has re-rated strongly: real prices rose 9.8% year-over-year and are up 56% from the post-bubble bottom. The current boom is not credit-fueled because household debt has fallen from 86% to 43% of GDP. Instead, population growth and immigration are lifting demand while new construction remains historically low, creating a supply shortage.
