Why 2026 will not bring a drop in apartment prices?
We analyzed for Forbes whether real estate prices will continue to rise during 2026 and concluded that a decline is not realistic as long as demand exceeds supply. According to Saša Perko, significant jumps in construction material prices are not expected (growth around inflation level), but the key pressure on prices comes from rising labor costs and increasing land prices (especially in cities due to shortage of plots and more restrictive plans). As a solution, the need for faster and simpler administrative processes is emphasized to shorten project cycles and increase supply.
