In 11 district cities in Bulgaria, 1 square meter of residential space costs under EUR 1,000. In 13 district cities, the price ranges from EUR 1,000 to EUR 1,400. 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. According to the expert, income growth, internal migration, low interest rates and limited supply are the factors contributing to the continued rise in property prices.
