BULGARIAN PROPERTIES Price Indices (BPI) – December 2014
A full year of market stability has already passed for the property market in Sofia and this reconfirms that the market is in a new stage of development. Some small positive listing price changes together with an increased number of deals and an increase in prices of real deals support the overall market recovery in the Bulgarian capital and propose a brighter market outlook for 2015.
Varna is the other city with positive results in 2014 with an increase of demand and positive price changes. If we add data about the other big cities, we will see that the markets everywhere had a good year and 2014 turned into the most successful year for the big cities in Bulgaria – Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas.
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the vacation markets. Sunny Beach suffered from the withdrawal of the Russians which was especially evident in the last quarter. This put an end to a 2-year recovery cycle for the Sunny Beach market which was the first market to start coming out of the crisis. However, the annual results for the resort are not so bad – the prices remain generally stable.
Bansko keeps on crawling on the bottom but the good news is that the price changes are now below 5% and we may expect more deals during the already very active winter season. We have witnessed a gradual return of British buyers because Bansko now offers the best property prices in Europe!
