Chișinău apartment sales rose 48% in Q3 compared with Q1
+48% — that is how much apartment sales in Chișinău grew in the third quarter compared with the first: 1,203 more homes sold.
The capital’s housing market is picking up, but remains below last year. In the first nine months of 2026, 9,225 deals with completed homes were registered — 1,865 fewer than a year earlier (−16.8%). The figures come from an analysis by Victor Cernomorcenco, a specialist at the Acces Imobil agency.
He says demand is supported by mortgage lending and by buyers who had postponed their purchase. For the whole of 2026 he expects about 12.3% fewer deals than in 2025 and roughly 22% fewer than in 2024. Prices are not falling: a square metre costs between EUR 1,200 and 2,300, and supply on both the primary and secondary market remains limited.
What it means for you
- Buyers should not count on lower prices: fewer deals, but prices are holding.
- Choice is limited — well-located, fairly priced flats sell faster.
- Agencies and developers may see stronger demand if the Q3 pace continues.
