Romania has seen the largest improvement in the EU regarding the housing price-to-income ratio over the past decade, with a 42.8% decrease from 2015 to 2025. This indicates that income growth has outpaced housing price increases, contrasting with trends in most European countries where housing has become more expensive relative to income. Despite this positive trend, it does not imply that Romanian apartments are the cheapest in Europe. The EU average for this ratio increased by 6.8% during the same period, highlighting a general rise in housing costs across member states. Significant increases in the ratio were noted in countries like Portugal and the Netherlands, while Romania experienced the most substantial decline.
