Rising taxes, declining purchasing power and tighter financing conditions are putting Romania’s residential real estate market under increasing pressure.
In a recent appearance on Pulsul Zilei, hosted by Maria Smarandache, Oana Ivan, Founder of OI Real Estate Group, examines how higher VAT and slowing sales are affecting developers, buyers and the financial sustainability of residential projects.
The discussion highlights a critical distinction: transaction volumes alone do not reveal the full extent of market pressure.
For developers facing financing obligations and limited liquidity, maintaining asking prices is not always a sustainable strategy. In certain circumstances, adjusting profit margins and negotiating prices becomes essential to keeping projects financially viable.
The real question is no longer just how much a property can sell for, but how long a development can afford to wait.
