Are you based in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland and dreaming of a home in Portugal? Like many buyers, your journey likely begins on Google. But if you’re only searching in German, you may be missing out on the best listings, insights, and real estate opportunities.

At Immo Lusitania, we specialize in helping German- and Swiss-speaking clients successfully find and purchase property in Portugal. One of the most overlooked keys to success? Using the right Google search terms—both in English and German.

🔍 Why Multilingual Search Terms Matter

Most Portuguese real estate websites and agents optimize their listings in English and Portuguese, not German. Searching for:

• “Haus kaufen Algarve” might miss half the listings
• “Immobilien Portugal mit Meerblick” may return only limited results

💡 Pro Tip: Combine German keywords for research and blog content, but switch to English real estate terms to access the best listings and agent websites.

🇩🇪 Common German Search Terms (and Smarter Alternatives)

🎯 Search Smart Tip: Add regional or lifestyle terms like “near beach,” “rustic,” or “with land” for better results.

🧠 How to Search Smarter When Buying Property Abroad

1. Use English keywords when searching on Google or real estate platforms
2. Include specifics like location (e.g. Algarve, Lisbon, Alentejo)
3. Add property types (villa, apartment, plot, quinta, renovation)
4. Use German for lifestyle questions or relocation advice
5. Try multiple variations of the same query in different languages

📈 Example Search:
Instead of: “Ferienhaus kaufen Portugal”
Try: “holiday home for sale Algarve Portugal”
