The UBS Global Real Estate Bubble Index 2026 lists Lisbon as the seventh city in the world with elevated risk of an inflated housing bubble, driven by aggressive capital attraction policies that fueled a 7% annual price increase over the last decade. While Lisbon faces negative population growth and rising rental costs, other high-risk cities include Miami, Dubai, Seoul, and Geneva, though Zurich and Tokyo remain the only Eurozone cities with high risk. Recent data shows a slowdown in price growth across major cities, with Lisbon's growth slowing to match Madrid and Milan, while Seoul saw the strongest annual increase above 10% due to AI-driven economic expansion.
