Bucharest luxury resi market to exceed €400 million in 2025

Business Forum
This year will end with over 1,000 premium and luxury dwellings delivered in new residential projects from Bucharest and its surroundings, a record for the recent history of Romania's residential market, according to a market report by SVN Romania.

This result is being determined by the delivery of several medium and large-scale projects, each with a minimum of 100 residential units, and whole series of projects that usually comprise a few dozen units or less.

In total, SVN's calculations show that premium and luxury home transactions closed in Bucharest and its surroundings will exceed €415 million this year, including both new homes deals and resales and transaction with inter and pre-World Wars properties.

"2025 was a good year for Bucharest's premium and luxury residential market, with a record number of deliveries and closed transactions for the modern history of Romania," said Raluca Dobrișan, Managing Partner SVN Romania. "The premium and luxury residential market developed greatly, and a profile dwelling can no longer be defined only by location, surfaces and finishes, but also by elaborate design concepts or innovative technologies and sustainable systems."

Premium and luxury home prices located in Bucharest's region start from about €3,500 per sqm and can exceed €6,000 per sqm, with the average value of a new property under construction sold this year being estimated at about €400,000 plus VAT. The prices of the most expensive luxury new residential properties from Bucharest could exceed €2 million plus VAT.
