Colliers has published its analysis of the Hungarian real estate market for the first half of 2026, finding that recovery is progressing at different speeds across segments, though the overall direction remains positive. The review was presented at a press conference by specialists including Kristóf Tóth, Associate Director and Head of Research, Balázs Zelles-Görgey, Director and Head of Capital Markets, Miklós Ecsődi, Partner and Head of Occupier Services, Anita Csörgő, Director and Head of Retail, and Tamás Beck, Partner and Head of Industrial and Logistics.
The investment market is being supported by declining country risk and a more favourable financing environment, while office and logistics occupiers remain selective. Developers are generally requiring pre-leases before launching new projects. In the retail segment, consumption, tourism and limited prime supply are creating the basis for further rental growth.
Colliers identifies a stable regulatory environment, improved financing conditions and demand for energy-efficient properties as the key factors for the period ahead. These conditions could facilitate a broader return of international capital and a sustained increase in transaction volumes. Following postponed disposals over the past two years, an increasing number of assets may return to the market from 2027 onwards.
