Real estate prices in Bulgaria continue upward trend

Real estate agents warn that the rates at which real estate prices are going up in Bulgaria are outpacing the rise in household incomes, and that this could result in an inability to pay off credits.

Last year the prices of real estate rose by 20%, but in 2022 experts expect the market to calm down and prices to continue to rise by no more than 5%-6%. The new construction market is beginning to get back to normal unless the rise in the prices of building materials continues. Analysts say that if, by mid-2022 interest rates start to rise, that would be the first indication that the price escalation rate will probably slow down.  

Demand remains higher than supply, as interest is mostly in two-room homes for investment, and three or four-room homes for own use. Experts advise buyers to pay attention to the price and to calculate their long-term repayment capacity.
