Romanians with average incomes increasingly unable to afford homes, study shows

Home prices continue to rise rapidly in most major cities across Europe and globally, including Romania. Bucharest and other large cities are nearing the critical threshold of inaccessibility for residents with average incomes, according to an analysis by the Social Monitor, a project of Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Romania, based on data from Numbeo and Eurostat.

In the EU as a whole, housing prices increased by over 50% between 2015 and 2025.
