Bulgarian real estate market forecast for 2025

The Bulgarian real estate market is expected to remain stable in 2025, with moderate growth in apartment prices that will not exceed 8–10%.

Most specialists note the ever-growing interest of investors and buyers in new construction. This trend is due to the fact that property in older buildings is becoming morally obsolete and no longer meets modern construction standards. In addition, contemporary residential buildings and complexes offer high energy efficiency and good infrastructure.

Buyers prefer projects with a wide range of amenities and services (fitness centres, children's playgrounds, convenient parking), with a reliable management company and quality service. These factors provide a higher quality living environment.

Price growth in 2025 will be the result of the interaction of a wide variety of factors. 2024 proved to be a successful year for the real estate market. Interest rates remained at historically low levels, and bank lending grew by 36% during the first nine months of the year. A possible rise in interest rates in 2025 could reduce buyer interest, especially among those planning to purchase their first home. On the other hand, the completion of a significant number of new construction projects will lead to increased supply and a wider choice for buyers.

Bulgaria's potential entry into the eurozone is also a key factor that could stimulate foreign investment, contributing to additional market dynamics. Although growth is expected to be more moderate compared with the past several years, the market remains attractive to both local and international buyers.

The rental housing market in 2025 will also show growth dynamics. 

Experts are unanimous that 2025 will be a strong year for the real estate market, with a balance being achieved between buyers and sellers and stability that will help maintain buyer confidence and their willingness to invest in property.
