The property market timing game is brutal, isn't it? One year can completely change what's possible.
Rubina's experience highlights every relocator's worst nightmare: finding your perfect spot during a scouting trip, only to be priced out by the time you're ready to move. That 18-month window turned dream properties into impossible budgets.
The good news? Things have stabilized since those crazy couple of years. But it's a stark reminder that property hunting in Portugal requires quick decisions and realistic backup plans.
This is exactly why some people choose to buy during their scouting trip rather than waiting. Sometimes the "perfect" timing never comes.
Have you experienced this kind of price shock while house hunting? How do you balance taking time to decide versus acting quickly?
