Real estate: About 65% of buyers anticipate new real estate price rises

October 8, 2025

  Most buyers (65%) anticipate new price rises in the real estate market, especially on the background of inflation, in the field of constructions and of low cost offers, according to a report of a real estate website.   “Housing prices continue to rise in big cities in the country and at national level. The number of Romanians who are still waiting for lower prices has dropped significantly in 2025. At present, most buyers (65%) anticipate new rises in real estate,” according to results of a study made by Imobiliare.ro and the market research company Unlock Market Research.   According to Imobiliare.ro, the average price requested for apartments for sale in Romania reached 1,909 euro/sq.m at the end of September, after a 15% increase recorded last year.   “We notice that two out of three buyers expect a rise of apartment prices next year, a considerable percentage, higher than previous market measurements. We think that this perception is a realistic one and is based on the inflation that cannot avoid the real estate area, higher construction prices, the appearance of new higher standard projects, a lower offer for the new”, said Daniel Crainic, Imobiliare.ro marketing director.   Buyers pay the highest prices in Cluj-Napoca, Brasov and Bucharest. People from Cluj-Napoca are selling apartments at prices 9% higher than in autumn, last year. In Brasov, the average price recorded in the residential market is 2,223 euro/sq.m., while in Bucharest it is 2,129 euros/sq.m. Annual price increases of 12% and 18% have been recorded.   Owners and developers sell apartments at high prices compared to September 2024 in Timisoara, Iasi and Constanta as well – prices 11%-13% higher per square meter. “Increases could be also seen in secondary residential markets in Romania. In Sibiu, for instance, the average prices requested for apartments for sale, went up from 1,727 euros/sq.m., last autumn to 1,908 euros/sq.m., at present. In Oradea, the average price went up from 1,625 euro/sq.m to1,825 euro/sq.m, according to Imobiliare.ro. Spectacular evolutions have been noticed in Ploiesti and Craiova, where the average prices for apartments for sale went up by 17%, that is about 9%.About 65% of buyers expect higher prices next year”, according to the mentioned study. At the end of 2024, less than half of buyers anticipated prices rises in the real estate market.   “Half of the people who consider that prices will follow a growing trend in the future expect to see increases between 5% and 10%, while 33% of other people consider that prices may exceed 10%. The number of Romanians who still think that prices could be reduced significantly in the real estate field dropped compared to the one recorded at the end of 2024. While then, 33% of respondents anticipated lower prices, now only 17% consider that houses could become more accessible. Moreover, while then 71% of respondents considered that housing prices would drop by more than 10% in the following months, now only 34% still have such expectations,” the study shows.   The study Imobiliare.ro and Unlock Market Research was made in August on a sample of 800 people aged over 18, who bought or showed the intention to make a real estate purchase or to rent a house/apartment in the next 6 months in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Constanta, Iasi, Brasov , Timisoara or Sibiu.
