Citizens of Ukraine and Russia are among the top ten foreign buyers of housing in Bulgaria in 2024–2025, according to a study by the Experts Club analytical center and data from the Bulgarian Real Estate Association.
According to the study, the top 10 countries whose citizens are most active in buying real estate in Bulgaria are: Great Britain, Germany, Greece, Israel, Romania, Turkey, Italy, Russia, Ukraine, and Poland.
Foreigners account for a significant share of transactions in the housing market. According to one international analytical resource, the number of foreign buyers of residential real estate in Bulgaria in 2024-2025 has increased by approximately 18%, and the overall market is showing steady price growth. According to local experts, the percentage of foreigners in some coastal projects may reach 30% of the total number of buyers.
Foreign buyers are most interested in properties on the Black Sea coast – in Varna, Burgas, and Nessebar – as well as in the mountain resorts of Bansko and Pamporovo, where real estate is considered both for personal use and as an investment for rental.
Analysts note that Ukrainians have firmly established themselves in the top 10 due to a combination of relocation and investment demand: some buyers view Bulgaria as a safe EU jurisdiction during the war, while others see it as an opportunity to earn income from renting out property in tourist regions.
The growth in foreign demand is supporting price increases: over the past year, the cost of housing in Bulgarian seaside resorts has risen by an average of 8-10%, and in Sofia by 7-10%.
At the same time, according to estimates by the European Commission and a number of analytical reviews, housing in Bulgaria in 2025 is overvalued by approximately 10-15% relative to fundamental indicators, but experts are not yet talking about a critical “bubble” in the market.
In the next 2–3 years, Experts Club analysts expect foreigners to keep showing interest in Bulgarian real estate, but with a change in the demand structure: they estimate that the share of buyers from the EU, Ukraine, and Israel will grow, while the role of Russian buyers in new deals may continue to decline amid sanctions and capital movement restrictions.
According to data from the National Statistical Institute of Bulgaria and international reviews, in the second half of 2024, housing prices in the country rose by 15% year-on-year and by 87% compared to 2015. At the same time, the average price per square meter in the country remains significantly lower than in most EU countries, making Bulgaria one of the most affordable real estate markets in the Union for foreign investors.
Russian citizens traditionally account for a significant share of owners, especially on the coast. According to Bulgarian sources, in the Burgas region alone, more than 5,200 properties owned by Russians are officially registered, while across the country as a whole, there are several tens of thousands of properties. At the same time, in recent years, the share of new purchases by Russians has been declining, and some of the properties are being put on the market and bought by Bulgarian and Western European buyers.

On November 10, the President of Uzbekistan met with medical and pharmaceutical workers, congratulating them on their professional holiday, Medical Workers’ Day.
Over the past five years, approximately $624,000 has been allocated to specialized medical centers, and thousands of pieces of modern equipment have been purchased. At the same time, the efficiency of its use is only 25%. The president emphasized the need to prioritize the development of digitalization, the modernization of clinical protocols, the introduction of advanced diagnostics and prevention, as well as the formation of professional teams in the regions.
Now, the directors of 26 specialized centers, heads of regional and district health care systems, and heads of family clinics will work according to monthly plans, visit problem areas and mahallas, analyze the causes of morbidity, propose solutions, and train local doctors. Daily meetings with healthcare managers will be held at the mahalla level, and each manager will be required to ensure attentive and prompt treatment of patients.
Starting in the new year, the procedure for appointing heads of medical institutions will change: the positions of director and chief physician will be separated, and entrepreneurs with management training and proven results will be eligible for leadership positions.
The incentive system will also be modernized: the best managers will be awarded titles, orders, medals, and cash bonuses of up to $2,497, and $41,000 will be allocated to improve the infrastructure of institutions. The best specialists will be sent abroad for training.
The development of medical education continues: faculties of general medicine are being opened, and residency and master’s programs in family medicine are being launched. Students will study free of charge and work as doctors at the same time, receiving a 150% salary bonus upon completion of their studies. Support for nurses has been strengthened: a Higher Academy of Professional Medicine is being created, quotas for higher nursing education are being doubled, and from 2027, the annual increase will be at least 20%, and nurses with higher education will receive a 100% salary bonus.
A new system of continuous professional development is being created, including distance learning, AI-based simulator training, and independent learning in the workplace. To this end, a Center for Continuing Professional Medical Education will be established.
The president noted that the private sector already provides about 30% of medical services, and the state is ready to expand public-private partnerships. Tax breaks on the import of equipment and ambulances will be extended for three years, part of the VAT will be refunded to private medical organizations, and entrepreneurs will be provided with a preferential credit line of $200 million to create modern multidisciplinary clinics.
In conclusion, the Head of State emphasized the importance of professionalism and dedication of medical workers, instructed to continue reforms, improve the quality of services, and introduce modern technologies, noting that this will make Uzbekistan’s healthcare system accessible and effective for all citizens.
