Bulgaria with second highest increase in housing transactions within EU for 2021

The number of housing transactions has gone up in 2021, compared to 2020, in most countries members of the EU for which data is available, Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union reports.

The highest increases were recorded in Spain (+39.3 %), followed by Bulgaria (+39.0 %). The increase suggests a significant rise in the number of transactions in 2021 that follows the decrease in 2020 linked to Covid-19 lockdown measures which temporarily halted real estate transactions in most EU member countries.
