| Prices of flats are increasing but Slovaks still want their own roof |
| Bratislava, 04.06.2017 |
|
| Rules for mortgage applicants have changed but demand remains the same so far.
SLOVAKS believe that owning the roof over one’s head is one of the greatest certainties in life, says Maroš Ďurik, CEO of Across Private Investments. Indeed, Slovaks do prefer buying rather than renting the apartment they want to settle in.
The low interest rates that banks have been offering on mortgages over the past year favour such behaviour. At the same time, however flats and houses in Bratislava belong among the least affordable from a range of 18 European cities, according to the European Housing Report 2017 by the RE/MAX company.
The same money that buys you 0.5 square metre of family house in the capital could be used to buy 1.48 square metres outside Bratislava, based on the survey. As for apartments, the average salary buys only 0.36 square metre of a flat in the capital, while 1.48 square metres can be obtained for the same amount outside the city.
Prices to go up this year
Cheap mortgages will lead to higher demand and prices for apartments, with house prices holding steady in all regions. In 2016 the average sales price for an urban apartment was €157,500 but only €60,000 for a rural apartment. Prices are expected to increase in 2017.
The analysts behind the European Housing Report assumed 5 percent growth in sales prices for flats in urban areas as well as in the countryside while the rental prices of flats in the city should increase by 3 percent and stay approximately the same in the villages. The price of houses is steadier, according to the analysis.
For houses, the average price per square meter is holding at €1,520 in cities and €510 in the countryside.
Rental property prices have been increasing and will continue to grow by as much as 3 percent for urban apartments, where the average monthly rent costs €750. Rentals remain steady, with prices for urban houses and apartments around 10 Euros per square meter and around €5 for houses and apartments in the countryside, RE/MAX stated
