Title: Romanian housing market set to climb amid tax hikes Telegram: 28 Jan 2026 - Bucharest.

The surge is driven by stricter fire‑safety regulations and higher construction material costs. Credit interest rates are cited as the biggest obstacle for buyers. Expert Gabriel Blăniță notes that purchasing intent is near historic highs even though buyers have less disposable income than six months ago. A 25‑year‑old finance professional, Andrei, says the cost of buying a flat in Bucharest is exorbitant, citing time and money lost to traffic and over‑valuation.
