Some 634 apartments were sold in new developments in Bratislava during Q4 2025, confirming stable sales that were maintained throughout the year, according to CBRE data. At the end of the fourth quarter, 3,874 apartments were available on the market, representing a slight quarterly decrease but a 16% year-on-year increase.
The available supply of apartments in new developments decreased slightly quarter-on-quarter in Q4 2025, but the year-on-year increase reflects the gradual addition of projects during the H2 2025. Buyers continued to favour two-bedroom apartments most frequently, which accounted for nearly half of all sales (47%). However, increased interest in four-bedroom apartments was also observed in H2 2025, indicating persistent demand for larger layouts.
During Q4, average prices decreased slightly to €5,302 per sqm, representing a 6% year-on-year increase.
Price stability is expected in the near term, with price growth not expected to exceed inflation levels. The market will continue to be influenced by developers' caution in launching new project phases. Combined with increased construction and regulatory costs, this limits room for price decreases, while limited household purchasing power dampens expectations of significant demand recovery.
Rental payments remain more advantageous than mortgage payments for comparable properties due to high interest rates, a trend that has persisted since 2022. According to the Residential Health Index, the difference between average rent and mortgage payments reached approximately €200 in Q4 2025. Rental prices remained at €19 per sqm for premium locations and €17 per sqm for secondary locations. The rental market had 2,320 available apartments in Q4, representing a 15% year-on-year increase.
