 Residential Complex Maresal Averescu

The evolution of the real estate sector in the first half of 2014 proves a tendency of price stabilization. National prices have reached 757 euro/sqm for new dwellings and 644 euro/sqm, for old dwellings, according to a market analysis performed by real estate consultancy firm Darian.

"Prices at national level have fallen dramatically from the half of 2008 until today. Old apartments have registered a decline of approximately

40%, while new apartment prices have dropped 33%. The small price variations in the past 6 months have been perceived by the free market as rather price stagnation. This is a good sign, though, an optimist sign for the residential market, where we estimate medium and long term growth." said Adrian Crivii, president of consultancy firm Darian.

Bucharest ranks first in terms of average transaction prices for old apartments, with an average of 956 euro/sqm, closely followed by
