On Lake Balaton’s northern shore, prices commonly reach HUF 1.2 mln–1.8 mln, while waterfront or panoramic homes sell for even more.
The southern shore averages HUF 900,000–1.3 mln, and the western basin HUF 800,000–1.2 mln.
Analysts say the main trend this year is not price growth but functionality, as more buyers want properties that are comfortable and livable year-round.
At Lake Velence, demand remains strong despite recent water‑level issues, and many buyers treat the area as a second home or even a primary residence. Lake Tisza continues to offer the best price‑to‑value ratio.
However, luxury waterfront homes the re can reach HUF 1.5 mln/sqm, and the region may see 2–7% price increases due to tourism and infrastructure development.
