Portuguese house prices had the biggest annual rise in at least 12 years as a shortage of real estate available for sale helped to further bolster property values.
Home prices rose 13.2% from a year earlier in the second quarter, according to the country’s statistics institute. That’s the biggest increase since the institute started collecting data on the housing market in 2010. Prices rose 3.1% from the first quarter.
