The Duna House monthly transaction estimate and mortgage forecast shows that 11,554 residential properties changed hands across Hungary in March 2026, while residential mortgage contract values reached €240 million.


After restrained transaction numbers in January and February, the domestic property market picked up significantly in March. The 11,554 sales recorded during the month exceeded February's volume by nearly 32%, while falling just 5.3% short of last year's strong March performance.

This year's March performance approaches last year's top levels. According to Duna House data, only March and September 2025 brought higher turnover.

Based on data from the group's international financial brand Credipass, the mortgage market saw €240 million worth of residential mortgage contracts signed in March. This amount was only 2.2% below the previous month's figure and represents more than 74% growth compared to March last year's data published by the Hungarian National Bank.

ULI Poland invites market to conference on new balance of forces shaping real estate

by Property Forum
The golden rule of real estate – “location, location, location” – now tells only part of the investment story. Real estate is no longer a system that can be explained solely through the cost of capital and the balance between supply and demand. A new set of higher-order forces has entered the equation with full force: global geopolitics, cybersecurity, the energy transition, technological development, and the impact of nature on the long-term value of assets. These are precisely the themes around which the ULI Poland 2026 conference, “MATRIX OF REAL ESTATE,” has been built. The event will take place on 15–16 April at Fabryka Norblina in Warsaw. Property Forum is supporting the event as Media Partner.
