The guest speaker will be Ricardo Costa, Partner and CEO of LUXIMOS Christie’s International Real Estate, who will share his vision on the trends that are shaping this sector in Portugal, the profile of international buyers and the challenges of the real estate market.

During the presentation, Ricardo Costa will address the sustained growth of the luxury market in Portugal, driven by international demand. Currently, more than 60% of high-end real estate transactions involve foreign buyers, with a focus on North Americans, British, French and Brazilians. Factors such as climate, security and tax incentives continue to attract investors to destinations such as Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve.

Another central theme will be the growing appreciation of sustainability and innovation in the sector. Luxury buyers are increasingly demanding, seeking properties with integrated technology, energy efficiency and eco-friendly solutions. Furthermore, the personalization of spaces has become a differentiator, with an increase in demand for exclusive, custom-built properties.

At the end of the event, there will be a debate moment where participants will have the opportunity to interact with the speaker and discuss the future of the sector. "Is luxury a trend or a necessity?", asks Ricardo Costa, encouraging reflection on the evolution of the concept of exclusivity in the real estate market.

The seminar, aimed at students, professionals in the field and all interested parties, will be held in English and promises to bring valuable insights into the changes that are shaping this highly competitive segment and reinforce Portugal's position as one of the most attractive destinations for investment in luxury real estate.
