Houses and apartments are not expensive in Bucharest, with a two-bedroom apartment price varying from around EUR €83,250 to EUR €351,800.

Bucharest´s rental yields are moderate to good, ranging from 3.45% to 8.28% with a city average of 5.83%.

Please note that our prices primarily represent well-maintained apartments. We have used the "useful area" instead of the "built area" when we computed for the sq. m. prices because we only included old apartments in our survey. When one buys an old apartment in Bucharest, one buys the useful area. But when a developer sells an apartment, he sells the built surface. Therefore, the buyer becomes the co-owner of the conjoint spaces.

Rental yields are about the same or slightly higher in other cities and areas inside Romania. Cluj-Napoca produces an average yield of 4.89%, Timisoara can produce an average of 6.16%, Craiova´s average rental return is 4.76%, in Galati you can expect an average return of 6.88%, Iași produces on average 6.83%, Brasov average rental yield is 6.65%, and Constanţa average rental yield produces 7.31%.
