Homebuying intentions are rising in Romania, but fewer people are actually purchasing homes, as affordability pressures reshape the residential market. A new report by Colliers noted a widening gap between demand and completed transactions.
According to the survey, conducted among 1,000 urban residents, 42.5% of respondents plan to buy a home within the next 6-12 months, up from 35.2% a year earlier. However, transaction volumes fell by around 20% in the first two months of 2026, both in Bucharest and nationwide.
