Stara Zagora emerged as the frontrunner in terms of price appreciation, recording a substantial jump of 8.2% in house prices. Following closely behind were the cities of Burgas and Varna, registering increases of 6.3% and 1.7%, respectively.

Despite these localized declines, the overall market remains buoyant, supported by sustained demand and favorable financing conditions.
