Entities: Minha Casa, Minha Vida programme · Rio Verde · PraMorar Brasil · Fortaleza · Petrópolis

Overview

In late July 2026 the programme’s momentum in the Northeast was reaffirmed. In Fortaleza, sales of Faixa 3 and 4 units continued to dominate, with 227 apartments sold over the previous year and a total transaction value exceeding R$ 105.6 million; investors accounted for roughly 20 % of purchases at an average price of R$ 426 000. First‑quarter 2026 data showed the scheme represented 56.37 % of all property transactions in Greater Fortaleza, amounting to 2,234 units sold nationwide and 1,418 within the city. Rio Verde reported delivery of 192 apartments and confirmed a target of more than 1,000 units by year‑end, alongside a tender for 2,500 additional units slated for 2027‑28. Municipalities such as Cariacica opened a registration window for 250 Faixa 1 homes (27 July–14 August 2024) and Araxá progressed with eligibility lists for new applicants. The Paraíba housing agency reiterated warnings about internet scams that misuse the Minha Casa Minha Vida brand, urging citizens to rely only on official channels.
