Sales of apartments in Bulgaria have increased 100% compared to 2010 with the main focus of sale being for apartments in Sofia.
Bulgarian real estate agents expect that apartment prices will continue to increase in the Sofia region due to population growth and movement from smaller regional towns. It is expected that many of these new arrivals in Sofia will focus on buying bulgarian apartments in the capital as this is where the best opportunities for jobs are based.
