Apartments in Chisinau, Moldova are now more expensive than when we did our survey last year, in terms of Euro.  But rents have not risen in Euro terms.  Result: yields appear to have declined significantly this year.  

In 2006 our research was finding gross rental yields of between 12.4% and 18.6% for apartments in the centre of Chisinau.  The country had not yet witnessed the dramatic upward adjustment in values common in transition economies.  Now, after a boomlet, yields are at a much more normal 8.7%. This is still a good yield, but given the high risk associated with a property purchase in Moldova, not an outstanding bargain any more.
