Investing in real estate in Hungary.
Real estate development in Hungary has been gaining traction in recent years, particularly in Budapest, but also in other growing cities like Debrecen, Szeged, and Pecs.
There are several factors influencing this growth, including Hungary's strategic location within Europe, its relatively affordable real estate market compared to Western European countries, and a robust tourism sector driving demand for both residential and commercial properties.
The demand for residential properties in Budapest, especially in the city center and in up-and-coming districts like District 13 (Angyalfold) and District 7 (Erzsebetvaros), has been increasing. Modern apartments, often targeting young professionals or international buyers, are in high demand.
Tourism is a big driver of real estate development in Hungary, particularly for short-term rental properties in Budapest. However, recent regulations and the shift towards longer-term rentals may impact the market dynamics for vacation rentals in the coming years.
Hungary has seen interest from foreign investors, particularly from countries like Germany, Austria, and Russia, looking for attractive returns in Budapest's real estate market. However, the ongoing geopolitical situation could influence investor sentiment.
