BULGARIAN PROPERTIES Price Indices (BPI) – August 2013
Although the summer season has proved to be successful for the biggest ski resort in Bulgaria - Bansko, the prices there continued their downward movement in August reaching their lowest point so far. The accumulated property price drop in Bansko since the beginning of the crisis now amounts to 60% - the highest in Bulgaria.
In Sofia after a few months with positive monthly price changes we have now witnessed a downward price movement which is most probably in result of a seasonal price fluctuation due to the holiday season. Varna, on the other hand, has been supported by the successful summer season and the return of the buyers’ interest. Sunny Beach is seeing a second very successful summer season and although there was a downward monthly price movement in August, the prices continue to be 6% higher than last year.
