e-Terra (ANCPI) cyber incident: no clean sales series after 2026-06. Scores are a provisional nowcast — the completed-sales anchor still carries ≥35% of the weight, so more real buying always moves this up, less always down.

Counties — vs the national market

3-month completed-sales momentum vs Romania's (the shared seasonality cancels), shrunk toward the country by sample size. Above 58 = hotter than the national market, below 42 = colder.

No score currently reaches the methodology's official publication threshold (confidence ≥ 40) — read the ranges under each score, not the score alone.

County-seat cities

ANCPI publishes a dedicated sales series only for county seats — other towns would be fabricated granularity, so they inherit their county's reading instead.

National components: ANCPI Jun 2026 individual units sold +5.1% y/y · Storia/OLX buyer contacts −26% y/y (Jul) · BNR housing-credit stock +6.5% y/y, new-loan rate 5.72% vs 5.82% · INS/Eurostat HPI +7.8% y/y Q1 (nominal — quality-discounted). Supply and macro components: no monthly source yet; their absence lowers the confidence shown.

* = small sample, reading pulled toward its parent geography (city/sector → its county, county → the national reading). Methodology: RO-HMI v0.1 (weighted signal groups, empirical-Bayes shrinkage, logistic 0–100, persistent 3-state regime filter). An activity index, not a price forecast and not investment advice.

Methodology & citation

Sources: Storia listing medians with sample sizes (n), published city indices (Imobiliare.ro), Blitz.ro portfolio averages, SonarHome — asking prices, useful-area basis for apartments, built-area for houses. Cities enter rankings only with a published index or n ≥ 8. The national figure is listing-weighted. Asking prices typically close 4–7% under ask. This is a market indicator, not an official (ANEVAR/INS) statistic.
