A property budget of 30,000–35,000 euros in 2026 has become a high-caution zone. Bulgaria's entry into Schengen and global inflation have significantly impacted the "cheap and quality" market segment. Five years ago, this sum opened doors to any complex; today, it is the lowest entry threshold for liquid studios.
Liquid properties in this category are not widely advertised. They are sold via "waiting lists" within 24-48 hours. Listings for this price that hang on portals for months are often fakes for lead generation or legally "tainted" lots.

Real Estate Prices in Bulgaria in 2026
The market has grown, but opportunities for a successful purchase remain. To preserve capital, you need to operate with facts, not the expectations of years past. We have divided offers into categories based on the probability of a deal and the breadth of choice.
- €30,000. "Hot offer." Appears rarely, requires an instant reaction and a deposit on hand. These are usually complexes on the 3rd-4th line, but still comfortable for living.
- €35,000 – €40,000. Market start. The first systematic options appear here. Quality resale properties in complexes with a pool.
- €40,000+ Wide assortment. Liquid stock. In this budget, you can already choose: pool view, floor, and renovation.
Two-Room Apartments – 1 Bedroom
- €45,000. "Hot offer." A rare stroke of luck. This is the real price for a quick sale of a safe apartment, which you literally have to "watch out for" on the waiting list. Sells within 1-2 days.
- €50,000 – €55,000. Market start. The basic budget for buying an apartment with a separate bedroom in a good residential complex.
- €60,000+ Working range. Large selection. Good layouts, closer to the sea, modern furniture.
What is better to buy on a €35,000 budget – a studio or a two-room apartment?
For a budget strictly up to €35,000, the buyer has only one safe strategy: buying a liquid studio. Attempting to find a separate bedroom for exactly this amount leads to risks.
Why a Studio is a Reliable Asset
Liquidity.
A studio for 30-35 thousand can always be rented out seasonally or quickly resold, as it's the market's entry threshold.
Low Expenses.
Maintenance fees and taxes for a small area are minimal.
Transparency.
Properties sold in this budget typically have clean documents and Act 16 (Permission for Use).
According to the 2026 market rules, even a quick sale of quality housing with one bedroom starts from €45,000. If you see a price of €25,000 – €35,000, critical drawbacks are hidden behind it.
- Industrial Tariff. Electricity in such buildings is 3-4 times higher than household rates. Winter electricity bills can reach €300-400.
- "Storage" Status. These are non-residential premises, often on ground floors. Registration is impossible, and dampness and mold are guaranteed.
- Legal Problems. Apartments may be mortgaged, have debts to the developer, or be sold without Act 16 (not commissioned).
Characteristics of Seaside Property up to €35,000

- Area. 30–35 sq.m.
- Completeness. Resale stock with furniture and appliances. Boiler, air conditioner, refrigerator. "Move-in ready" format.
