North Bucharest Investments’ latest figures point to a dynamic start to the autumn season for Bucharest’s residential market, with sustained demand from both end-users and investors.
North Bucharest Investments (NBI) has exceeded €34.5 million in transactions since ANCPI resumed operations, achieving this volume in less than a month.
During this period, the company brokered more than 210 transactions, with an average value of approximately €164,000 per property, as the market quickly returned to a sustained pace of activity following this summer’s administrative disruption.
Beyond the natural catch-up effect of transactions that had been temporarily delayed, the momentum of recent weeks points to active demand and available capital, in a market where buyers are increasingly informed, selective and focused on both the timing and quality of their acquisitions.
The premium segment accounted for some of the most significant transactions brokered by North Bucharest Investments during this period.
The largest transaction reached €1.65 million, excluding VAT, for a penthouse located in Bucharest’s emerging new downtown around Fabrica de Glucoza, an area increasingly establishing itself as one of the capital’s new hotspots for premium residential demand.
Its connectivity to Floreasca, Aviatiei and Pipera, proximity to Bucharest’s major business hubs and the pace of new residential development have turned Fabrica de Glucoza into one of the city’s most closely watched real estate corridors.
A second major transaction, worth more than €1.4 million, excluding VAT, involved a penthouse in a boutique development in Floreasca, with direct lake views, in an area where the supply of truly premium properties remains limited.
Together, the two acquisitions exceed €3 million, highlighting the continued flow of capital into the upper end of the residential market, particularly for rare properties where location, views, exclusivity and appreciation potential play a decisive role.
One of the most visible shifts in the market is buyer behaviour. Decisions are increasingly research-driven, projects are being compared more carefully, and criteria such as entry price, location, developer track record, appreciation potential and resale liquidity have become central to the purchasing process. Buyers are more selective, but move quickly when they identify the right opportunity. Investors, in particular, are focusing on projects and micro-locations with strong appreciation potential.
“The figures from recent weeks show us a market that is far more active than general perception might suggest. More than €34.5 million and over 210 transactions in less than a month demonstrate that capital is available and there is a clear appetite for acquisitions. Buyers are, however, much more selective about where they place their money. We are seeing strong interest in well-positioned developments and, above all, in properties with a clear value proposition over the medium and long term.” said Vlad Musteata, CEO of North Bucharest Investments.
The results come as North Bucharest Investments works with a network of more than 80 developers and a portfolio of over 100 residential projects, with a strong presence across the key development areas of northern Bucharest.
Demand is diversified, ranging from compact units acquired for investment purposes to larger homes for end-users and premium properties or penthouses priced above €1 million. This diversification reflects a market where different types of capital are targeting different products, while sharing the same focus on location, quality and long-term value.
The restart of ANCPI operations provided the trigger for a volume of temporarily delayed transactions to move forward, but the pace of activity since then suggests more than a simple catch-up effect.
Technology is also becoming increasingly visible in NBI’s business results: approximately 30% of the company’s transaction volume during the period analysed was generated by clients acquired through the North Bucharest app, Romania’s first AI-assisted real estate platform.
For NBI, the figures reinforce a clear direction: an active market, an increasingly connected buyer and a business model where technology and real estate advisory work together.
