Apartment prices in Bulgaria's capital continued climbing in the first months of 2007. Rent prices, however, experienced different trends.
In bigger cities, rent prices increased gradually, 24 Chassa newspaper reported. In Sofia, some rent prices decreased, mostly for smaller apartments.
Price decreases vary from eight to 20 per cent. Similar percentage increase is registered concerning other types of apartments.
Monthly rents for one-bedroom apartments exceed 200 euro. In more luxurious districts, the prices are even higher. Some districts like Belite Brezi, Izgrev and Lagera registered a rent decrease for smaller apartments.
Price variations in the rent market hinder agents from drawing predictions and evaluating the condition of the market, 24 Chassa reported.
In most bigger cities the rental values remain much lower than the ones in Sofia. In the coastal cities of Varna and Bourgas, the monthly rents for two-bedroom apartments vary between 205 and 300 euro.
The Black Sea town of Pomorie has approved a proposal for the construction of a spacious and modern marina, with a capacity of over 600 yachts and small passenger ships.
Over the course of a year, from one of the leaders in Europe in new construction, Bulgaria became one of the countries currently quagmired at the bottom of the table and was now amongst the three worst hit countries, along with Romania and Slovenia.
The park is posed to act as an economic stimulant in the region, creating a modern infrastructural base for companies. It is set for completion by Q3 of 2010.
Both retailers target at least 50 outlets in Bulgaria by the end of 2010.
When will Bulgaria’s real estate and construction sector recover?
