The housing stock in Bulgaria continues to grow
At the end of 2025, the number of dwellings in Bulgaria marked an increase, reaching a total of 4,360,805 properties. This represents an increase of 36,612 dwellings compared to the previous year, according to the latest statistical data.
Statistical data reveal an interesting picture regarding the distribution of properties in the country. For every 1,000 people in Bulgaria, there is an average of 679 dwellings. This indicator shows that the country has a large number of properties relative to the number of its inhabitants.
An important characteristic of the Bulgarian real estate market remains the high share of owner-occupied homes. Over 86% of all residential units in the country are owned by the people who live in them. This is a tradition in Bulgaria, where the majority of families prefer to own their own home rather than live in a rented one.
Although the country's population is decreasing, the construction of new buildings continues to be active. The increase in the housing stock shows that investments in real estate remain a preferred way to store funds for many Bulgarians.
In conclusion, the data for 2025 confirm the trend of expansion in the housing sector. Bulgaria remains a country with a very high percentage of home ownership, which is a key feature of the social and economic life in the country.
