About

Find a home by describing the life you want.

Habio is an AI-first property portal for international buyers, starting with Portugal. Property search hasn't changed in twenty years: pick a town you may never have visited, set a price slider, scroll. We think you should be able to describe the life you're looking for — and let the AI do the searching.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Describe the life you want

    No rigid filters. Tell Habio what you're actually after — “quiet village house near the coast, fast internet, under €300k” — in plain English.

  2. Step 2

    AI matches and explains

    Habio matches real listings from local agencies, explains why each home fits, and scores lifestyle factors like beach access, walkability and remote-work suitability.

  3. Step 3

    Talk directly to the agent

    Every listing keeps its provenance. Enquiries go straight to the marketing agency — we don't sit in the middle.

Where the listings come from

Habio aggregates homes marketed by local estate agencies and property professionals, with growing Portugal-first inventory. Every listing names its source, and every town with enough homes gets an AI-written area guide. Our buyer guides explain the purchase process, fees and taxes in plain language.

Habio was founded by Barry Connolly and is independent — we don't sell property ourselves, and guidance on the site is editorial, not advice. Always confirm details with qualified local professionals.
