In September 2026 in Center district (Sofia), the number of observed properties for sale changed differently depending on apartment type. One-room apartments numbered 97, a change of +27.6% compared with August 2026, while two-room apartments numbered 527, a change of -5.4%. Compared with June 2026, the directions are the same: +36.6% and -10.8%, respectively. This is a difference between segments, not an overall increase or decrease in supply in the district.
The number of properties changes differently by segment
For three-room apartments for sale, 932 properties were observed, a change of +0.5% compared with August and +3.4% compared with June. For four-room apartments, the number was 365, a change of +10.9% compared with August and +2.5% compared with June. Thus, two-room apartments stand out with a decrease, while the other apartment types considered have more observed properties compared with both months.
The number refers to properties with at least one listing seen during the month, not availability at the end of the month or new listings. It provides context for the scope of observed supply in each segment. No change is provided for the total number of properties for sale, and monthly comparisons do not track the same properties.
A higher price per sq m does not mean a higher total budget
For one-room apartments, the typical price—the median of observed asking prices—is €3,950/sq m, and for the entire property €155,000. For two-room apartments, the reference points are €3,414/sq m and €239,900. One-room apartments have the highest typical price per sq m among the four apartment types, but the lowest typical price for the entire property. The two indicators are separate calculations and are not used to derive floor area.
One-room apartments show no significant change in price per sq m compared with August, but a change of +9.4% compared with June. For two-room apartments, the changes are +0.4% compared with August and -0.1% compared with June. This shows why monthly stability for one-room apartments does not negate their higher level compared with June.
The boundaries of the central 80% of asking prices are from €2,887/sq m to €5,013/sq m for one-room apartments and from €2,411/sq m to €5,525/sq m for two-room apartments. These are not minimum and maximum, but a guide to the position of a specific listing within the segment. All prices quoted are asking prices, not transaction prices.
