Brazil real estate market trends 2026

Entities: Brazil · brain · Selic · CBRE Group · São Paulo

Overview

In July 2026, Brazil’s residential rental market showed a 5.2% increase in rents during the first half of the year. A few weeks later, broader market data highlighted a shift toward sustainability and the secondary housing sector. Net‑zero energy buildings are projected to grow sharply, with sector value expected to rise from US$ 55.9 billion in 2026 to US$ 198.1 billion by 2033. Buyer interest in residential property reached a record 52%, despite a Selic rate above 13%. High financing costs and rising land prices have limited new mid‑price projects, pushing middle‑income buyers toward used homes. Approximately 70% of the 160,000 mortgage loans granted in the first half of 2025 were for pre‑owned properties, and sales of pre‑owned apartments in São Paulo were up 31% year‑to‑date.
