The residential market in northern Bucharest remains active and resilient, despite the operational blockage at ANCPI which is slowing down the completion of transactions. The North Bucharest Investments analysis shows that demand for housing, especially for houses, villas, and spacious apartments, remains at a high level, and technology is playing an increasingly important role in the purchasing process.
Impact of the ANCPI blockage on the real estate market in northern Bucharest
The operational blockage at ANCPI level is affecting the pace of real estate transaction completion, causing delays in the purchasing process. However, buyer interest in the residential market in northern Bucharest remains high, according to North Bucharest Investments data.
Approximately 40% of final buyers are interested in houses, villas, and large apartments, while 48% of the properties accessed and saved in the North Bucharest app are studios and two-room apartments. These figures reflect a dynamic market, supported by real demand, even under conditions of operational uncertainty.
Major trends: spacious homes and investment demand from the diaspora
The analysis based on aggregated data from the North Bucharest app and the company's commercial activity highlights two main directions:
- Growing interest in spacious homes for personal use, with budgets ranging between 600,000 and 800,000 euro.
- Strengthening of investment demand from Romanians in the diaspora, mainly targeting studios and two-room apartments, valued for their rental potential and value growth.
Final buyers focus on space, comfort, construction quality, and well-positioned locations, being less influenced by short-term market fluctuations.
At the same time, users from the diaspora prefer compact properties with optimal investment yield, which is reflected in their search and save behavior in the app.

Market outlook and statements
โThe analysis of data from the North Bucharest app confirms that the residential market remains active, and buyer behavior continues to evolve. We are seeing increasing interest in houses, villas, and spacious apartments from final buyers, while Romanians settled abroad continue to see the Bucharest market as an investment opportunity. We currently have about 190 transactions at various stages of completion, a volume comparable to the same period last year, which confirms that interest in home purchases remains high. These transactions depend on the resumption of ANCPI's operational flows, and once these return to normal parameters, we estimate that the pace of transaction completion will also accelerate.โ
