Real estate market breaks records in 2025 and maintains strong demand despite high interest rates

The Brazilian real estate market achieved historical results in 2025, showing resilience with strong demand despite a high interest rate environment.

The Brazilian real estate market closed 2025 with record results, demonstrating resilience amid a restrictive macroeconomic environment. Throughout the year, 453,005 residential units were launched, marking a 10.6% increase compared to 2024, while sales reached 426,260 units, a rise of 5.4%. These figures, released by the Brazilian Chamber of the Construction Industry (CBIC), reflect the sector's ability to thrive even with higher credit costs.

In terms of financial metrics, the sector recorded a General Value of Launches (VGL) of R$ 292.3 billion, indicating the potential value of the launched properties, and a General Value of Sales (VGV) amounting to R$ 264.2 billion, which represents the actual financial volume sold during the period. This performance suggests that the market has not only adapted but is also flourishing under adverse conditions, primarily driven by ongoing demand from consumers.

According to Celso Petrucci, a CBIC advisor and the director of economics at the São Paulo Housing Union (Secovi-SP), despite the basic interest rate standing at 15% per year, developers have continued to perceive strong demand. This resilience could be indicative of a fundamental shift in consumer behavior, possibly suggesting an underlying stability in the real estate sector that may further influence economic trends in Brazil post-2025.
