Bulgaria ranks 28th among 56 countries in the world in terms of housing price growth in the second quarter of the year, according to data from a consulting company, quoted by Trud newspaper. In the first quarter, this country held the 18th place. For the 6 months since the beginning of 2020, housing prices in Bulgaria have risen by 2.7%.

Turkey is leading with a 25% year-on-year rise in home prices, but at the backdrop of 12% inflation in the country. European countries occupy the first 8 places in the ranking, with the Baltic countries and those from Central and Eastern Europe in the lead after Luxembourg. In terms of rising house prices in individual cities, Sofia ranks 43rd among 150 world cities. The list is topped by Izmir, Ankara and Istanbul.
