Evolution of prices for studio flats in Bucharest 2006-2007
It is at least risky to make any assumptions about the future when it comes to the (Romanian) property market, as prices are still quite dynamic. In fact, looking over at the UK housing market, very few people could predict 5-10 years ago that prices will increase 3-5 times. What it can be done [...]

Evolution of prices for studio flats in the Vitan Mall area Bucharest.
Statistics on Romanian real estate pricing are rather difficult to gather on the market still dominated by relatively small estate agents, with 1-2 branches at most and only tens of properties in their portfolio. While country-/city-wide statistics might include a level of guesswork and averaging, it is worth focusing on specific areas to see how [...]

Atlantis Residences adds to the housing market in Pantelimon, Bucharest
Pantelimon remains one of the areas in Bucharest that has a bit of everything when it comes to real estate. There is a bit of old housing, somehow missed by the bulldozers in the communist era, several super-/hyper-/mega-/etc. markets in what used to be the outskirts of Bucharest 10-15 years ago, and quite a few [...]
