A recent survey conducted by Unlock Market Research for Colliers has revealed that fewer Romanians can afford to buy a home, with the percentage of urban homeowners standing at just 73%, significantly lower than the official statistic of 95%.
Interest in homeownership has dropped from around 44% in previous years to 35% in 2025, driven by rising property prices and stricter lending conditions. Meanwhile, only 6% of non-renters plan to move into rented housing, down from approximately 10% in past years.
