What the sales history says · 14 years of sales

Bidding wars in Brazil are more common than before the pandemic, but a third fewer homes come up for sale

We read every month of Brazil’s home sales since 2012 so you don’t have to. Each figure covers 12 months, because a single month in a town is too few sales to mean much. Latest: the year to May 2026, 85 sales.

If you’re buying in Brazil

  • Shop in August. It brings about 12 new listings a month, close to the busiest month, with fewer bidding wars (18% over asking).
  • Offer under asking. Buyers paid 96.5% of the list price on average; 21% paid over.
  • You’ll usually have time. Only 40% of homes go under contract within two weeks; the typical one takes 27 days.
