Property for sale in Sintra

It helps to know what our catalogue actually holds. Almost three quarters of the listings are in Belas, in the southern part of the municipality, nearer Lisbon. The historic centre of Sintra (the parishes of Santa Maria e São Miguel, São Martinho and São Pedro de Penaferrim) accounts for about a fifth. There are a few listings in Colares, towards the ocean, and in Rio de Mouro. Two-bedroom apartments dominate the offer; villas make up about a fifth.

As of 8 October 2026 the median listing price in our Sintra catalogue is about €665,000. New developments are few, about 6% of listings. We do not quote a price per square metre: too few listings here state their area for a reliable figure. These numbers describe the listings in the BitProperty catalogue, not the market as a whole.

Non-residents should budget for transfer tax upfront: since 20 May 2026, IMT on a home bought by a non-resident is a flat 7.5% instead of the progressive scale, plus stamp duty of 0.8%. The three exceptions to that rule are covered in our tax guide. Payment can be made in euro or from crypto: BTC, ETH or USDC is converted into euro through an authorised provider, and the seller receives euro.
