TNI: Price Growth Has Slowed, Housing Demand Remains High

Since the second half of last year, the residential real estate market in Romania has entered a phase of gradual price growth slowdown. Thus, the price evolution in the first quarter of this year was only 1.4%, well below the evolution recorded in the first quarter of last year, of 4%, according to a study conducted by Imobiliare.ro. "From the statistical analysis of developments in the residential market, it appears that we are witnessing a moment where the market is caught between high demand and relatively low supply. Data shows that demand for apartments and houses for sale remains strong, recording an advance, cumulatively in the six major cities, of 17% in the last year, and 76% in the last 3 years - the maximum being recorded in Iași, at +217%. In terms of supply, data for the last 12 months, in the six major cities, indicates a negative evolution of the stock of apartments and houses, by 5.9%," says Dorel Niță, Head of Data and Research, Imobiliare.ro.

TNI: Buyers Have Changed Their Behavior: 3 CRITERIA for Real Estate Purchases

In recent years, one of the most important changes in the residential market is the change in buyer behavior. "If in the past, buyers were concerned with the price and structure of the apartment, today they have 3 clear criteria based on which they make their choice: location, developer reputation, and project quality. A successful project has a good location, with many amenities, from public transport to parks. Then, it is essential that the developer has a good reputation to instill confidence. In terms of project quality, it does not mean luxury finishes but rather the project's suitability to the needs and budget of the targeted buyers. In building the Arcadia Apartments Domenii ensemble, we started from these criteria. The excellent positioning in the Domenii area, the existence of green spaces arranged on a third of the complex's area, entirely underground parking, the typological variety of apartments, and the functionality of the space are extremely important factors for the future residents of the ensemble. In addition, we surprise many buyers with affordable prices, much lower than their expectations," says Cosmin Slave, General Manager of Arcadia Apartments Domenii- Official Partner of the National Real Estate Fair.

TNI: The OFFICE Segment Makes Its Debut at a Profile Fair

The 28th edition of TNI marks a RECORD in the history of real estate fairs in the last 10 years in terms of the number of exhibiting companies and the presented offers, as well as a PREMIERE by including OFFICE segment offers in the event's portfolio. "Currently, as companies face an increasingly competitive labor market, they will continue to expand their operations in Class A office buildings, looking for modern spaces that integrate facilities and benefits for employees' increasingly complex preferences: restaurants, cafes, gyms, entertainment, and relaxation areas. With our new business campus, AFI Tech Park, we set a new benchmark for the business environment in Bucharest and are ready to welcome future tenants in a modern, central, and cost-efficient location. We understand employees' desire to reduce time spent commuting to and from work, and we offer companies the perfect solution for relocating within the city, in a newly built Class A office building," says Tal Roma, Business Development Manager, AFI Europe Romania.

TNI: The Green Homes Segment is Gaining Momentum and is Present at TNI / Savings of 50,000 EURO

The purchase of green homes has intensified recently due to the evolution of final customer requirements and the benefits these properties offer: superior quality, increased comfort, lower energy costs, and health benefits. At the Green Homes booth within TNI, investors can find out directly from the RoGBC team how they can obtain GREEN HOMES certification for the residential complexes they are building, which can thus become eligible for Green Mortgage Loans offered by partner banks Raiffeisen Bank with the "Casa Ta Verde" credit and Alpha Bank with the "Alpha Green" credit. Also, the general public can learn more about what a green home is and its advantages. "Often buyers decide to invest less initially by choosing homes with the lowest cost per square meter, without being informed about the building's energy performance or the quality of the materials used. As a result, they end up owning homes with high monthly heating and cooling costs, requiring intensive maintenance, frequent renovations, and having a lower long-term value than sustainable homes. The best time to invest in making the home sustainable is from the beginning," said Monica Ardeleanu, Executive Director of the Romanian Green Building Council (RoGBC). Currently, there are 19 residential complexes certified/pre-certified GREEN HOMES by RoGBC located in Bucharest, Brașov, Cluj-Napoca, Iași, Timișoara, Râmnicu-Vâlcea, totaling over 5,800 real estate units.

Amber Gardens is the first residential project in Romania to receive Green Home certification and demonstrates that true luxury is green and high-quality. The project incorporates quality finishes in a more comfortable living space, offering privacy, a healthier environment with superior light and acoustics, and allows for significant reductions in energy and maintenance costs. "Energy-efficient and built to a high standard of quality, the luxury green homes of Amber Gardens are considered safe investments by banks and qualify for green mortgages. At the same time, each home can bring its residents savings of approximately 50,000 euros over 20 years through efficient use," says Alex Skoulas, Managing Partner of Alesonor. AFI City is one of the pre-certified Green Home projects presented at the TNI exhibition, gaining ground daily and soon to become the first choice on the list of potential green home buyers. "The positioning in one of the newest developing residential areas in Bucharest and the unbeatable advantage of having access to the metro and quick connection to surface public transport are just some of the benefits of the project. Added to this is the green architecture of the neighborhood, the functionality of the apartments, and the view towards the Străulești and Grivița lakes. The sense of privacy offered by the AFI City community thus comes as a bonus!” says Tal Roma, Business Development Manager, AFI Europe Romania.
