In order to follow the trend of this indicator, Ziarul Financiar included Bucharest and the five largest cities in Romania by population in its analysis.

The data for January 2022 shows that the price per net square meter has jumped to over EUR2,000 in Cluj-Napoca, making the city the leader in the ranking of this indicator. Compared with January 2021, the increase is 16%.

In Bucharest, the price per net square meter reached EUR1,627 at the beginning of this year, up 15% compared with the first month of last year.

“Housing prices in Romania’s main cities have increased considerably over the last ten years, but below the level of increase in income, so today access to buying an apartment is easier,” explains Daniel Crainic, marketing manager of the Imobiliare.ro classifieds platform.
