In a Lusa interview published on 7 November, ahead of his final lecture at ISEG, economist and former Bloco de Esquerda coordinator Francisco Louçã said property funds accounted for roughly 80% of property purchases and sales in the first half of the year and argued the country should take power away from them. He also criticised the PS's public guarantee and tax-benefit proposals as price-inflating, preferring rent-controlled release of existing homes, and called the PRR a missed opportunity. Treat the 80% figure as his claim, not a published statistic.

After meeting Prime Minister Luís Montenegro at São Bento on 5 November, PS secretary-general José Luís Carneiro said the Government showed openness to the PS proposal to exempt from IRS mais-valias the sale of second homes worth up to €300,000, where the buyer takes the property as their own permanent residence and it sits in a zona de pressão urbanística. The PS package also carries a three-year exceptional regime, reduced taxation for homes between €300,000 and €500,000, and imposto do selo exemption on the purchase and the related housing loan. Carneiro also reported a "relative" agreement to raise IMT for buyers who neither live in Portugal nor buy for housing. No text has been agreed and ECO reports no on-record government statement; the measures are PS proposals the Government says it is open to.
