In Sofia and Varna, 1 square meter of residential space costs EUR 2,400, National Real Estate Association President Dobromir Ganev said in an interview with the Bulgarian National Radio.

In Sofia, the number of transactions in 2024 saw a 10% increase. The number of transactions in Varna and Burgas increased with 6% and 21% respectively.
