Bucharest maintains its position at 30th out of 32 in the PwC and ULI real estate investment ranking. Despite a projected economic growth of 3.5%, declining population and fewer transactions hinder its attractiveness. The city ranks above Istanbul and Sofia but below Budapest, Prague, and Warsaw. Investors are increasingly focused on long-term factors like infrastructure and housing supply. The report indicates a significant decline in real estate transactions and a projected population decrease. Investors prefer larger markets for easier buying and selling, while concerns about global conflicts and construction costs persist. The European real estate market is shifting towards asset quality and management efficiency, with data centers and energy infrastructure gaining interest.
