Sao Paulo’s real estate industry now has a new policy forum at the same time that launch data are tilting toward subsidized apartments. FecomercioSP installed a permanent Real Estate Market Council led by Secovi-SP, after Secovi reported 144,700 vertical residential launches in the city over the 12 months to May 2026.<\/p>\n
Secovi’s May market update put Minha Casa Minha Vida units at 94,800 over the 12-month period, equal to 65% of Sao Paulo city launches. That mix matters because the capital’s headline supply is increasingly tied to program rules, zoning incentives and household credit capacity rather than only open-market luxury demand.<\/p>\n
Secovi also reported slower sales velocity across several unit-size bands between January and May, with sharper pressure above 66 square metres. Developers with larger layouts need to prove income depth, financing availability and neighborhood value before adding more stock.<\/p>\n
FecomercioSP’s council gives developers, brokers and commercial groups a standing place to push credit, tax, tenancy-security and urban-development priorities. For the Sao Paulo market, that is relevant because tax reform and financing costs now affect feasibility before buyers ever reach a showroom.<\/p>\n
Sao Paulo’s second half should favor disciplined phases in transit-served neighborhoods and Minha Casa Minha Vida price bands. Larger private-market apartments will need sharper pricing or stronger credit support to avoid slower absorption.<\/p>\n
