BULGARIAN PROPERTIES Price Indexes – May 2012
BULGARIAN PROPERTIES' indeces measure apartments listing prices in 4 main locations - Sofia, Varna, Sunny Beach and Bansko in order to provide timely information about the market trends in the biggest city and vacation housing markets in Bulgaria.
Polina Stoykova - Chief Operations Manager of BULGARIAN PROPERTIES - comments the latest trends: "After some small positive movements of the prices in Sofia over the past 2 months, they have remained unchanged in May with a small monthly drop of -0.38%. Varna also remains stable, while we see some price increases in Sunny Beach. The start of the summer season has increased the demand for holiday homes by Russian buyers and the deals volume has also been growing. Bansko, on the other hand, is again in a downward pattern, reaching a record low asking price level which has attracted some interest from British buyers in May."
