Compared with June 2026, fewer one-room and two-room apartments for rent were observed in Ruse, but more three-room and four-room apartments. In September, there were 143 three-room apartments, a difference of +15.3% compared with June, while one-room apartments were 123, or -4.7%. Thus, the change in observed supply varies by apartment type, rather than being the same across all segments.
More three-room apartments compared with June, but fewer than in August
For two-room rentals, 204 properties were observed, and for four-room apartments — 16 properties. Compared with June 2026, the differences are -2.4% and +14.3%, respectively. The number for four-room apartments remains important context for the percentage change: the observation covers significantly fewer properties than for the other apartment types.
The comparison with August 2026 adds another nuance. Observed three-room rentals are -5.9%, despite the higher number compared with June. For one-room apartments, the monthly difference is -10.2%, while two-room apartments are +1.5%, and four-room apartments — +14.3%. In this comparison as well, there is no uniform direction between the segments.
Rents do not follow property numbers uniformly
The typical asking rent — the median of observed asking prices — for three-room apartments is €450/month. This is -2.2% compared with both June and August 2026. The range from €350/month to €720/month outlines the boundaries of the central 80% of asking prices. This provides a fuller reference for comparing a specific offer to the typical level on its own.
For two-room apartments, the typical rent is €357/month, with a range from €252/month to €488/month. Compared with June 2026, the rent is +2.0%, but compared with August, the difference is -0.8%. Thus, the lower observed number compared with June is combined with a higher typical rent.
One-room apartments have a reference point of €260/month and +4.0% compared with both months. For four-room apartments, the typical rent is €500/month: +4.2% compared with June and at the same level as August. The differences between apartment types affect both the monthly budget and the number of observed properties.

| Garage / parking | 24,500 €(1,200 €/m²)(0%) | 95 €(+4.4%) |
Sales: more small apartments, prices move differently
For one-room apartments for sale, 196 properties were observed, and for two-room apartments — 575 properties. Compared with June 2026, their numbers are +23.3% and +14.3%, respectively. However, typical asking prices per sq m move differently: for one-room apartments, the change is +6.2%, and for two-room apartments — -1.2%.
The current reference for a one-room apartment is €1,472/sq m and €64,500 for the entire property. For two-room apartments, the typical levels are €1,439/sq m and €92,950, with a price range from €1,076/sq m to €2,026/sq m. Compared with August 2026, the price per sq m in both segments is -0.2%.
Three-room apartments have the highest typical asking price per sq m among the four types: €1,502/sq m, with €147,500 for the entire property. The range is from €1,034/sq m to €2,229/sq m, and 697 properties were observed. For four-room apartments, the price per sq m is lower — €1,392/sq m, but the typical budget for the entire property is higher: €163,000. The two price references provide different perspectives when comparing the segments.
Houses and parking spaces
