According to Otthon Centrum, the resale price of brick homes in Budapest saw a year-on-year rise of 15-20%, while this number rose by a y.o.y. 10% in western Hungary in the first half. The price of pre-fabricated, communist era homes was up more than 20% countrywide, the real estate broker said, adding that Hungarians are buying homes as investments as well to live in.
Otthon Centrum expects prices to rise at a slower pace once speculators tire of the market. In the coming years, prices could grow by 5-10% annually.
