Romania’s residential market slowed in the first half of 2026 after several years of strong growth, but the figures do not indicate a major correction, according to a Colliers report. Apartment transactions fell by approximately 9% nationwide, while Bucharest recovered from a weak start to end the period only around 2% below the first half of 2025.
Trends varied significantly between major cities. Apartment sales declined by roughly 16% in Cluj-Napoca and 11% in Iași, while Timișoara recorded growth of around 3%.
