According to data from idealista, there are few houses for sale in the country with a swimming pool. Only 11.2% of the homes advertised on the real estate platform in June have this extra.

When analyzing the prices of homes with or without a pool, it becomes clear that it is in Évora where the difference is greatest, since homes with a pool are 86% more expensive. Also in Setúbal, apartments with a pool are 85.7% more expensive than homes for sale without this facility.

The differences in the prices of houses for sale with and without a pool are also high in Lisbon (65.4% more expensive), Castelo Branco (55.3%), Coimbra (49%), Ponta Delgada (46.2%), Braga (40.4%), Aveiro (36.4%) and Beja (33.8%). Already with a price difference of less than 30% when comparing houses for sale with and without a pool are Porto (28.8%), Viseu (20.1%), Faro (16.9%), Funchal (14.1%) Leiria, (11.1%) and Vila Real (1.7%).

The truth is that there is a limited supply of houses with a pool for sale in Portugal, which may also explain why houses with this extra are much more expensive. Funchal has the most apartments for sale with a pool (43.9%), followed by Faro (23.8%). All the other cities analysed have a supply of houses with a pool of less than 10%: Lisbon (9.9%), Ponta Delgada (7.1%), Évora (6.8%), Porto (6.5%), Braga (4.5%), Beja (2.4%), Leiria (1.6%), Coimbra (1.5%), Castelo Branco (1.1%) and Aveiro (1%).

Data from idealista also shows that the cities of Vila Real (0.9%), Setúbal (0.7%) and Viseu (0.2%) represent less than 1% of the supply of apartments with swimming pool for sale.
