Druzhba 1: Typical Asking Price Below Sofia for August 2026

This text examines asking prices for apartments in Druzhba 1 for August 2026. The typical price is €2,366/sq m, which here means the value at the midpoint of the sorted asking prices (the median).

The figures shown are calculated from listings observed during the reporting month, not from transactions or current availability. For a fuller picture, P10 and P90 are also included, outlining the central 80% of observed prices.

For sale listings in Druzhba 1, the typical asking price is €2,366/sq m, and the typical total asking price is €201,510. These are asking values for August 2026 and do not describe concluded transactions.

The distribution of observed prices is relatively wide within the selected month. P10 is €2,085/sq m, and P90 is €2,924/sq m. Thus, the central 80% of observed asking prices fall between these two boundaries, which should not be interpreted as minimum and maximum.

• 755 listings and 513 properties were observed.
• The listing count also includes listings without a linked property.
• The property count only reflects different linked properties; the completeness of linking is unknown.

The mere presence of more listings than properties does not justify conclusions about duplication, new publications, or sales. The data do not allow such interpretation.

Compared to July 2026, the typical asking price in Druzhba 1 is -0.8%, from €2,384/sq m to €2,366/sq m. This is the observed monthly movement of asking prices, not a change in the price of the same apartment.

At city level, Sofia is at +0.4% compared to July, from €2,580/sq m to €2,591/sq m. For a longer horizon, there is also a comparison of August to May: Sofia’s level is 0%, as it was also €2,591/sq m in May. Thus, the available data show a local monthly decline in Druzhba 1 and a different movement at city level.

Another limitation is important here: August versus May is a comparison of two separate months, not a quarterly aggregate. The data do not show a reason for the differences and do not allow for a forecast.

In the selected set of Sofia districts, Druzhba 1 is cheaper than Doktorski Pametnik, Ivan Vazov, Yavorov, Izgrev, Iztok, and Lozenets. These are individual comparative districts from a preselected set, not proof of geographic proximity or a complete city ranking.

At the same time, it is useful to keep the context relative to Sofia. Druzhba 1 is below the city level, but this does not change the fact that in the shown set of comparative districts, it is below each of the listed places. The fact that a district is below Sofia as a whole can coexist with being below even more expensive districts from the selected list.

• Druzhba 1 versus Doktorski Pametnik: cheaper.
• Druzhba 1 versus Ivan Vazov: cheaper.
• Druzhba 1 versus Yavorov: cheaper.
• Druzhba 1 versus Izgrev: cheaper.
• Druzhba 1 versus Iztok: cheaper.
• Druzhba 1 versus Lozenets: cheaper.

For rentals in Druzhba 1, the typical monthly asking price is €599/month. This is the total monthly amount, not a price per square metre, yield, or purchase-to-rent ratio.

The distribution of rental listings is also described by P10 and P90. In August 2026, P10 is €400/month, and P90 is €750/month. Here too, the data describe observed offers for the month, not current available stock.

• 147 listings and 107 properties were observed.
• As with sales, listings may include entries without a linked property.
• The linked properties are different, and the completeness of linking is unknown.

Compared to July, the typical monthly rental price is +7.0%, from €560/month to €599/month. This is a separate movement from the sales level and does not mean the same change on both sides of the market.

For sales in Druzhba 1 in August, 755 listings and 513 linked properties were recorded. For rentals, 147 listings and 107 linked properties were recorded. The difference between listings and linked properties is expected by definition and cannot be interpreted as the number of new, sold, or withdrawn listings.

For the monthly change in linked properties, Druzhba 1 is at +0.4% compared to July, while Sofia is at -1.3% compared to July. This widens the gap with the city by +1.7 percentage points, but only as a relative movement in the number of linked properties. By itself, it does not prove more apartments on site or greater activity.

Over a longer horizon, linked properties in Sofia are 23,390 in August versus 21,503 in May, i.e. +8.8%. This is a city comparison between two specific months and should not be read as a quarterly aggregate or as a direct forecast for future periods.

August 2026 leaves Druzhba 1 with apartment asking prices below Sofia’s level, with a monthly decline in the typical sale price and growth in the rental price. In the selected set of districts, the area is cheaper than all shown comparisons, and the data on listings and linked properties serve as a reminder that these are observed offers, not transactions or current availability.

The picture is mixed across timeframes: locally there is a slight decline in sales, the city is at a different monthly and longer-term level, and rents are moving upward. The figures themselves do not allow for conclusions about causes, forecasts, or assessments of housing quality.
