Why — the adjustment
Risk-adjusted from Knowsy's data layers. Each factor is capped; the math is shown.
Automated estimate — not an ANEVAR valuation. A legally valid valuation in Romania requires an ANEVAR-authorised valuer to inspect the property and sign the report. This is information, not financial advice. Terms

București · Sectorul 1: €1,735/m² in 2023 (a price was recorded for about 40% of the sector's transactions).
Homes in București · Sectorul 2 actually sold for a median of €1,767/m² in 2025. That is 23% below today's asking prices — part negotiation gap, part market movement since 2025. This covers Sector 2 only; Sectors 1 and 2 are the only two in Bucharest that publish their transactions, so it is not the whole city.

About 31,025 homes here are privately let. The deepest rental market is 2 rooms · 1 bed. No organisation publishes how long a home takes to rent in Romania, so we show depth rather than a made-up waiting time.
Romanian listings count rooms, not bedrooms — a “2 camere” home is a living room plus one bedroom. Two things here are measured for THIS town: its average room count and its vacancy rate. The split by size is estimated from that average, and the “% let” figures are a single national urban rate applied to every town — the census does not publish either locally.
