Apartment transactions in Romania drop 9% in first four months of 2025, Colliers says

Romania’s residential property market is off to a slow start in 2025, with apartment transactions down nearly 9% in the first four months of the year compared to the same period in 2024, according to real estate consultancy Colliers. The capital saw an even sharper decline, with Bucharest recording a 12% drop in transactions, as higher inflation, tighter credit access, and rising construction costs weighed heavily on the market.

The drop in activity reflects a combination of factors undermining both consumer confidence and purchasing power, said Gabriel Blăniță, Associate Director at Colliers Romania.
