The real estate market in Bucharest remains one of the most dynamic in Romania, and October 2025 confirms this trend. Housing prices continue to vary depending on the area, type of property, and surface, but the overall average shows a steady increase compared to previous years.

For those looking for a new home — whether it’s a studio, a two- or three-room apartment, or a larger house — price differences can be significant from one neighborhood to another. Central areas and those with quick access to the metro remain the most expensive, while peripheral districts continue to offer more affordable alternatives for buyers.

These examples highlight how much location influences prices: central or premium areas reach €3,000/m² and above, while peripheral districts stay under €2,000/m² on average.

What these figures mean for buyers and investors

• Studios remain the most affordable entry-level option — around €67,000 on average in Bucharest.
• Two- and three-room apartments show a noticeable price jump compared to studios — both in total price and per square meter.
• Four-room apartments and houses belong to the premium market segment — where location, size, and design play a decisive role.
• For investors: the sustained price growth (+70% in six years in Bucharest) suggests ongoing potential for appreciation, though factors like financing access, construction costs, and limited supply must be considered.

What to check before buying

• Compare the price per square meter in your chosen area with the city average (~€2,000–€2,300/m² for mid-range properties).
• Look at the price growth trend in recent years — markets that rose quickly may also correct more strongly.
• Evaluate finishes, year of construction, and neighborhood infrastructure (metro access, parks, schools) — all influence the property’s value.
• Don’t overlook hidden costs such as agency fees, notary taxes, or annual property taxes.
• For investors, calculate the rental yield — in good areas it can be higher, though purchase prices are also steeper.

Price evolution in Bucharest

October 2025 provides a clear snapshot: the real estate market in Bucharest remains active and competitive, with significant differences between areas and property types. For buyers, studios offer a relatively affordable entry point, while two- and three-room apartments already represent a considerable investment. Premium properties — four-room units, houses, or villas — come at much higher prices but also with higher appreciation potential and greater risks.

Regardless of the type of property you’re considering, information is key — compare data, analyze the area, follow market trends, and make a decision aligned with your budget and long-term goals.
