Worldwide, property has become 8.5 per cent more expensive, the analysis showed.

Significant price increase was observed for property in Bulgaria and Estonia. According to the analysis the increase resulted from the equalisation of prices in Europe. Because of investor interest property prices in Bulgaria went up by 20.5 per cent.

According to predictions Slovenia and Slovakia would become Europe's property hotspots in the coming year. Economic recovery would also bring up property prices in Germany.
