Current reading
Strong pricing is being supported by credit, but not by broader transaction activity.
House prices rose 14.8% while transaction count fell 18.5%. Aggregate transaction value declined by only 5.0%, which is consistent with a higher-value mix among the deals that did complete. It does not prove that the average Bulgarian property became 16.6% more expensive.
Housing credit is still expanding rapidly. At the same time, permitted dwellings and construction costs both increased by 14.0%. Planned supply is growing, but the cost and timing of delivery remain important.

The snapshot tells you where to look, not what to buy.
City and regional comparisons help narrow the market. Local pricing, rental evidence, legal checks and property-level due diligence are still required before a purchase decision.
