Inflation slowdown: How does it affect the real estate market?

2024-02-19   |  Polina Stoykova MRICS, Managing Director and Head of Research of BULGARIAN PROPERTIES

At the start of 2024 the real estate market in Bulgaria continues to show promising signs of stability and growth, providing unique opportunities for both buyers and sellers. Today, we take a look at the most current market trends and how they may influence your decisions.

Slowing Inflation: What does it mean for the real estate market in Bulgaria?

According to the latest data from the National Statistical Institute (NSI), inflation in Bulgaria continues to slow, with monthly inflation reported at just 0.5% in January 2024 and annual inflation of 3.8%. This is a significant improvement on previous periods and is good news for the economy as a whole, including the real estate sector, as in recent years inflation has been one of the main drivers of property price growth.

Growth in real estate transactions

BULGARIAN PROPERTIES data shows that real estate transaction volumes have grown by around 20% in early 2024 compared to the same period of the previous year. This increase highlights the growing interest from buyers and investors.

Property prices: current trends

Of particular note is the property market in the capital of Sofia, where prices continue to follow an upward trend, but it is slowing down. In January, we report a year-on-year increase of 7%, with the average price increase reaching around EUR 100 per square metre. This reflects the continuing trend of tight supply in the face of strong demand.

Opportunities for sellers

The current market situation provides excellent opportunities for sellers. The activity on the market and the peak prices reached create a favourable environment for transactions. If you are considering selling a property, now is the right time to extract maximum value from your property.




In these dynamic times, awareness and strategic planning are key to the success of any real estate market participant. At BULGARIAN PROPERTIES, we are here to provide you with up-to-date information and professional advice to help you make the best decisions.
