Bucharest region resi deliveries could jump 18.5% in 2026

Business Forum
Over 20,500 new homes could be delivered in Bucharest and its surroundings in 2026, according to a new report by SVN Romania.

This would represent an 18.5% increase compared to 2025's result, when the second lowest number of new homes was delivered in Bucharest's region in the last six years.

Almost 17,300 residential units were completed in 2025 in Bucharest and Ilfov, according to the National Institute of Statistics, up 1.8% compared to 2024. SVN Romania estimated at the beginning of 2025 that about 18,000 homes could be delivered by the end of the year in the region.

"Contrary to general belief, there is a higher number of residential units under development in Bucharest and its surroundings compared to 12 months ago, although we also identified areas and market segments where the new supply is low," stated Andrei Sârbu, CEO SVN Romania. "Prices will continue to increase on average in 2026, but there are many new projects with wrong market positioning strategy, including unrealistic expectations regarding selling prices, where a readjustment is necessary."

The northern area of the city will remain in 2026 the main residential development pole, with over 8,500 residential units that could be completed. The eastern and western parts of the city could also attract higher deliveries, up over 50% compared to 2025's result. The number of homes sold in 2025 in Bucharest and Ilfov decreased by 8.5% compared to 2024.
