This overview examines asking prices for apartments in Centre for July 2026, meaning prices observed in listings during the reporting month, not closed deals or current availability. The typical price here is the value at the midpoint of the sorted asking prices (the median).
In Centre, the typical asking price is €3,438/sq m, and the typical total asking price is €330,000. Compared to June, the level is -0.3%, and compared to April, -1.3%.
sales supply
The July data outline the following picture for apartment sales in Centre:
- typical asking price: €3,438/sq m
- typical total asking price: €330,000
- central 80% of observed prices per square metre are between €2,324/sq m and €5,500/sq m
It is important to read the actual range of observations. P10 and P90 are not the minimum and maximum, but the boundaries of the central 80% of prices in the observed listings. This means that values below €2,324/sq m and above €5,500/sq m are outside this central segment and do not provide an exhaustive picture of the entire market.
The fact that the typical price is expressed both per square metre and as a total sum helps to see two different angles of the same listings. The first value is useful for comparing districts, while the second shows what the typical asking sum looks like in this particular district. The data do not allow conclusions about quality, floor area, or other property characteristics, as such details are not provided.
how the level is changing
Both the shorter and longer timeframes show the same movement: the typical asking price in Centre is -0.3% compared to June and -1.3% compared to April. This is not a change in the price of the same property, but a change in the observed asking prices over different months.
The comparison with Sofia shows almost the same overall picture, but with a slightly different strength of movement. For the district, the monthly change is -0.3%, and for the city, -0.1%. Compared to April 2026, Centre is at -1.3%, and Sofia at -0.2%. There is no basis here for causal interpretation; the available figures only show how the level has shifted in the two data sets.
The number of linked properties also shows movement, but this should not be read as new deals or sales. In July, Centre had 1,943 properties compared to 1,956 properties in June, i.e. -0.7%. In Sofia, the number of properties over the same one-month period is +1.4%. Compared to April 2026, Centre is at +32.7%, and Sofia at +38.0%.
comparison with selected districts
The comparison is made only with selected districts of the city, ranked by highest typical asking price. This is not a complete ranking, and geographical proximity is not established. Therefore, the data should be read as separate pairs of comparisons, not as an overall ranking.
- Centre is more expensive than Sofia by +€859/sq m
- Centre is cheaper than Doktorski Pametnik by -€2,715/sq m
- Centre is cheaper than Yavorov by -€944/sq m
- Centre is cheaper than Ivan Vazov by -€762/sq m
- Centre is cheaper than Izgrev by -€740/sq m
- Centre is cheaper than Lozenets by -€545/sq m
- Centre is cheaper than Iztok by -€436/sq m
This is important context: being above the city level can coexist with being below several of the selected districts with higher typical asking prices. For this reason, no conclusion should be drawn here that the district occupies any overall place in the city beyond the specific pairs of comparisons listed.
| Neighbourhood | Median price (€/sqm) | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Doktorski Pametnik | 6,154 | +79% |
| Yavorov | 4,382 | +27,5% |
| Ivan Vazov | 4,200 | +22,2% |
| Izgrev | 4,178 | +21,5% |
| Lozenec | 3,983 | +15,9% |
| Iztok | 3,875 | +12,7% |
| Centyr | 3,438 | — |
| Average for Sofia | 2,580 | -25% |
rental supply
Alongside sales, the rental market in Centre also has a separately observed typical price. In July 2026, it is €790/month. This is the total monthly rent, not a price per square metre, and does not indicate yield or buy-vs-rent ratio.
The distribution of rental listings is as follows:
- P10: €550/month
- P90: €1,300/month
- observed rental listings: 2,341 listings
- linked rental properties: 1,768 properties
Compared to June, the typical monthly rent is +2.6%, i.e. +€20/month. Compared to the monthly change in sales, this is +2.9 percentage points higher, as rents are at +2.6% and sales asking prices at -0.3%. This is a comparison between two monthly changes, not a forecast.
listings and linked properties
For sales in Centre in July, 2,391 listings and 1,943 properties were observed. For Sofia, the corresponding figures are 30,550 listings and 23,698 properties. The number of listings also includes listings without a linked property, and the completeness of linking is not known, so these figures cannot be converted into number of sales, number of new offers, or any measure of activity.
Changes in the number of linked properties also differ by timeframe. Month-on-month, Centre is at -0.7%, and Sofia at +1.4%. Compared to April 2026, Centre is at +32.7%, and Sofia at +38.0%. The difference in direction and pace is a fact from the data, but by itself does not explain why it has occurred.
One limitation is also useful here: comparability by number of properties is only a heuristic. It does not prove equal coverage, equal composition of listings, or equal completeness of linking between listings and properties. Therefore, the figures should be used as a description of the observation, not as evidence of market behaviour.
summary
The July data for Centre show a district with a typical asking price of €3,438/sq m and a typical total asking price of €330,000, with a slight monthly and broader decrease compared to April. At the same time, the level remains above that of Sofia as a whole and below the levels of all selected districts in the comparison set.
Rents also move separately from sales offers: the typical monthly rent is €790/month, with a change of +2.6% compared to June. The data describe the listings observed in July 2026, but do not allow conclusions about causes, deals, demand, or forecasts.
