The Problem
Portugal has one of Europe's worst housing crunches. House prices registered record increases in 2025. Rents are projected to rise 3-6% in 2026. For anyone arriving in Lisbon or Porto — whether a digital nomad on a D8 visa, a young professional starting a job, or a student beginning university — finding decent mid-term housing is a nightmare. Traditional rentals demand long leases, guarantors, and months of deposit. Airbnb is expensive and isolating. Room-sharing on Idealista is a lottery.
Coliving solves this: furnished rooms, flexible terms (1-12 months), all-inclusive bills, community events, coworking spaces, and an instant social network. The market potential is estimated at 16,000-18,000 beds in Lisbon and Porto alone — roughly 25x the current supply pipeline.
