Romania’s Real Estate Market Attracts Increased Foreign Investment in 2025

Bucharest, June 20, 2025 — Romania’s real estate sector continues to show strong growth, drawing increasing interest from international investors, particularly from Western Europe and the Middle East. According to data released by the National Institute of Statistics (INS), foreign direct investment (FDI) in Romanian property jumped by 18% in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period last year.

Experts attribute the growth to Romania’s relatively low property prices, strategic location within the EU, and increasing demand for residential and logistics spaces.

“Romania offers a unique combination of affordability and opportunity,” said Andrei Popescu, a real estate analyst at InvestEurope. “Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, and Constanța are particularly attractive for foreign buyers seeking either long-term rental yield or capital appreciation.”

The residential sector has seen the highest surge, with new developments targeting both upper-middle-class locals and expats. Meanwhile, industrial real estate, especially warehouses and logistics hubs near major transport routes, is becoming a hotbed for investment amid the e-commerce boom.

In response to the growing demand, Romanian authorities are considering new policies to encourage sustainable development and prevent market overheating.
