Brazil real estate market report — May 2026
Monthly summary of the Brazil real estate market by TuLugar, based on 1 active listings. Published months are never restated; the methodology is public.
Key figures
Each figure is computed per property type — we never blend apartments, houses and land into one average.
Short-term rentals (Airbnb)
Medians across entire homes active during the month. In small markets and seasonal destinations, large monthly swings usually reflect the change of season, not a trend.
In São Paulo, the largest market with 3,064 entire homes, the median rate was $39/night at 63% occupancy.
