Bulgarian real estate prices to show increase after mid-2010
2009 was the best year for buyers of real estate in recent years because property prices fell by an average of 30%, said Krassen Yotov, an analyst at Industry Watch.

Therefore, people who have cash are still in a strong position and can negotiate better prices, said the expert. The analyst advised to buy homes that have already been built in 2010 because “green construction” carries a very high risk and may not be completed in the years to come. According to ...
