Romania's resi price growth outpaces EU average in Q3 2025

Business Forum
Romania's residential market is showing a significant acceleration in price growth compared to the European average, based on the Eurostat data for Q3 2025.

While the European Union (EU) recorded a stable annual increase of 5.5%, Romania's house prices rose by 6.6% year-on-year.

This indicates a widening gap, as Romania's annual growth rate surpassed the EU average by 1.1 percentage points in Q3 2025, a notable jump from the previous quarter when Romania's growth (4.7%) actually lagged behind the EU average (5.5%).

On a quarterly basis, the trend is even more pronounced: Romania saw a price surge of 2.3% in Q3 2025, significantly outperforming the modest 1.6% increase observed across both the EU and the Euro area.
