The most popular resort for buying property by the sea in Bulgaria remains Sunny Beach

Sunny Beach continues to hold the leadership among the most sought-after resorts in Bulgaria for buying properties by the sea. Buying an apartment on the Black Sea is popular both among Bulgarians themselves and among foreign investors who want to buy a second vacation home.

The prices of resort properties on the sea coast vary depending on several factors: proximity to the sea, living area, floor, sea view, quality of construction and renovation, as well as the level of infrastructure of the complex. In 2024, the average price of studios on the Bulgarian coast is around 1,000 euros/sq.m., one-bedroom apartments can be purchased at a price of 1,050-1,100 euros/sq.m., and two-bedroom apartments reach prices of 1,200 euros/sq.m.

The most popular resorts are the central Black Sea coast.

Nessebar, Saint Vlas and Sunny Beach remain among the most preferred resorts for buying property due to their excellent infrastructure and convenient location. In these areas, the prices of two-bedroom apartments vary from 70,000 euros upwards, depending on the characteristics of the property and its location. Resorts in the Central Black Sea region offer good value for money, which makes them attractive to buyers from all over the world.

A more budget-friendly alternative for buyers are properties along the Northern Black Sea coast, such as Golden Sands, St. St. Konstantin and Elena, Balchik and Kavarna. Housing prices in these resorts start from 900 euros/sq.m in Balchik and Kavarna. It is worth noting that in the resort of St. St. Konstantin and Elena, the price can reach 1,500 euros/sq.m. In Golden Sands, properties are slightly cheaper - 1100-1200 euros/sq.m., which makes this area one of the most affordable on the Northern Black Sea coast.

Sozopol, with its unique atmosphere and historical charm, remains a favorite among property buyers on the Southern Black Sea coast. The average price of properties here reaches 1,300 euros/sq.m. The supply of studio apartments in the price range of 50-60 thousand euros is especially in demand. Prices for one-bed room apartments in this area are around 70,000 euros, which makes the resort attractive both for vacation and permanent residence.

The resorts of Lozenets and Tsarevo are also sought after by property buyers. In Tsarevo, the average price is around 1,100 euros/sq.m, and in Lozenets, prices vary from 1,200 to 1,500 euros/sq.m, depending on the quality and location of the properties.

Many property buyers in Bulgaria, especially along the coast, are showing increased interest in gated complexes. This trend is dictated by the desire for safety and comfort that such complexes offer. In addition, investors and developers increasingly offer flexible payment schemes, where the final payment is made only after receipt of ACT 16. This scheme makes the purchase of real estate more affordable and reduces the risks for the buyer.

Bulgaria's Black Sea coast continues to attract property buyers thanks to the wide selection of resorts, developed infrastructure and affordable prices. Sunny Beach, Nessebar and Sveti Vlas remain the leaders in terms of number of transactions, and the resorts of the Northern and Southern Black Sea coasts offer excellent alternatives. Flexible payment terms and attractive prices make the purchase of a property in Bulgaria a profitable investment for both vacation and permanent residence.
