Prices of real properties in Bulgaria

Most real property markets all over the world managed to bottom out and are now in a period of upswing. This also applies to the real property market in Bulgaria.

The end of 2010 marked the close of the first decade of the active existence of the real property market in Bulgaria. This was a dynamic decade in which we witnessed the boom in the real property sector, after which a certain drop in prices followed, caused by the global crisis in 2008-2009. The year 2010 brought stability to the real property market in Bulgaria and in the new decade it entered a period of stabilization and greater maturity.

Since 1 January 2008, after its accession to the European Union, Bulgaria had to accept new rules: now the construction within the one-hundred metre zone from the coast is prohibited, at 300 m from the coast the height of the buildings may not exceed three floors, and only five floors are allowed in the 500-metre zone. Such limitations are certain to cause increase in the construction prime cost. In addition, prices are also affected by the natural restrictions: the length of the beach in Bulgaria is only about 70 km. As early as the time of socialism, beaches in Bulgaria were taken to the maximum – the investments in communications and networks were considerable. That is why the rocky coast, especially along the North Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, lacking technical infrastructure, could hardly attract developers and buyers today. In Bulgaria there are wonderful places which some day will be developed. However, the construction of communications to them will make the projects so expensive that the building of cheap dwellings will be simply unprofitable. Respectively, the value of the ready complexes will gradually increase, following the market trends.
 
The prices of the real properties are determined by a number of factors:
 

  • location: distance from the sea (1, 2, 3 line and farther), prestige of the very region or resort, proximity to natural parks, intensity of the development of the given region, etc.;
 
  • quality of construction: used materials and compliance of the construction works with the legal requirements;
 
  • infrastructure of the property and adjacent infrastructure: what facilities are available in the building itself (security, car park, open areas, swimming pool, SPA centre, children playgrounds, etc.), and what conveniences there are nearby (transport, shops, medical centres, schools, etc.).

 
As at today, the average prices of real properties in the different resorts in Bulgaria are as follows:
 

REGION

AVERAGE PRICE PER SQ.M

Golden Sands

1 200 EUR/sq.m

Ss. Constantine and Helena

1 000 EUR/sq.m

Varna

900 EUR/sq.m

Byala/Obzor

700 EUR/sq.m

Saint Vlas

1 000 EUR/sq.m

Sunny Beach

700 EUR/sq.m

Nessebar

2,000 EUR/m2 near Old Nessebar and 600 EUR/m2 – in the modern part of the town

Pomorie

1100 EUR/sq.m

Sozopol

800 EUR/sq.m

 

It is very difficult to determine the average price by square metre by regions, as there are properties with lower liquidity (whose price is below the average prices for the region), but there are also highly liquid offers (whose price exceeds the average one in the market). Based on our experience, we can help you orientate yourself in the diversity of prices and offers, so that you can make the right choice according to your preferences and budget.
