Romania’s land market remained stable in 2024, with transaction volumes close to the 450 million euro recorded in 2023, despite an economic and political climate marked by uncertainty, according to Colliers' annual report. Bucharest and its metropolitan area continued to be the main hub for transactions, accounting for 80% of the total, while residential projects made up 70% of these deals.
Real estate investments in Romania reached EUR 750 million in 2024, registering a 58% increase over the previous year, although slightly below the annual average of EUR 800 million reported over the past decade, according to Colliers' annual report.
Similar to 2023, last year the Romanian land market totalled around €450 million, from what the residential sector generated the highest volume of transactions, as Colliers Romania.assumes.
The Romanian economy and real estate market are entering 2025 with positive long-term prospects but also significant challenges for the year ahead, according to Colliers consultants in the report "Top 10 Predictions for the Romanian Real Estate Market in 2025."
Large infrastructure investments, significant salary growth above inflation, a stable external economic context, and central banks’ victory in combating inflation are helping the Romanian real estate market maintain a favorable outlook. However, results are generally mixed, according to Colliers Romania experts in their market report for the first half of the year, set to be released at the end of the month.
Colliers announces the promotion of Alexandru Atanasiu to Head of Construction Services and Member of the Board of Directors. Previously, he held the position of Deputy Head of Construction Services and Asset Services.
The first quarter of 2024 ended with real estate investments in Romania totalling 202 million euros, up 69 percent compared to the first three months of 2023, with transactions in the retail segment accounting for around two-thirds of the volume, according to a Colliers report. Compared to the other five major economies (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), Romania was the best performer in a context where market activity in the region was soft and transaction volumes reached one of the lowest levels in a decade.
2024 looks to be a very good year for strategic acquisitions in the land market, given the favorable long-term outlook.
Activity in the land market has slowed over the past year, but investor enthusiasm for Romania’s long-term potential remains stable. Demand for strategic land plots, which now can be secured at more interesting terms than in a highly active market, is growing, Colliers Consultants note. This trend is attracting the interest of major developers looking to strengthen their position in the property market.
