In September 2026, more two-room and three-room apartments for sale were observed in Malinova Dolina district (Sofia) compared with August and June 2026. For two-room apartments, the number is 1,264 properties, a change of +9.2% compared with August and +16.8% compared with June. The increase in observed properties is accompanied by smaller changes in asking prices, not a decline: the typical price for two-room apartments is €2,432/sq m, a change of +0.5% compared with August. “Typical” means the median of observed asking prices.
More Observed Properties, but Not in All Segments
For three-room apartments for sale, 941 properties were observed — a change of +3.1% compared with August and +7.7% compared with June. Two-room and three-room apartments provide the broadest basis for comparison among apartment categories this month.
For four-room apartments, the number is 129 properties, a change of +6.6% compared with August and +17.3% compared with June. One-room apartments number 147, with no clear change compared with August, but a change of +8.1% compared with June. Thus, the monthly picture is not the same for all types of apartments.
These are properties with at least one listing seen during the month, not end-of-month availability, new listings, or transactions. Comparisons between months do not track the same properties; no overall change is given for the district.
Prices and Budgets Differ by Apartment Type
For two-room apartments, the typical asking price for the entire property is €173,000. The middle 80% of prices per sq m are between €1,978/sq m and €3,114/sq m. Compared with June, the typical price per sq m is up +2.0%.
Three-room apartments have a lower typical price per sq m — €2,335/sq m — but a higher typical price for the entire property — €265,000. Their range is from €1,929/sq m to €2,857/sq m, with changes of +0.8% compared with August and +1.7% compared with June. Thus, comparing only by price per sq m does not show the required budget for the entire property.
One-room apartments have the highest typical price per sq m among apartment categories — €2,591/sq m, with €115,000 for the entire property. For four-room apartments, the benchmarks are €2,348/sq m and €389,000, with the change per sq m compared with June at +6.7%. This is movement in the specific segment, not the entire district.
The stated ranges cover the middle 80% of asking prices, not the minimum and maximum. They help compare a specific listing with the relevant apartment type. Prices are asking prices, not transaction prices.

What the Data Mean for Comparing Listings
The main change is the higher number of observed two-room and three-room apartments for sale compared with August and June, combined with moderate price changes. The overall price level for apartments is below Sofia’s typical level, and for three-room apartments, rents are declining despite an increase in sale price per sq m. For comparing specific listings, the benchmark and range for the relevant segment are more useful than the overall district value.
