In 2 years 200,000 Bulgarians came back to living in Villages

Wednesday, Jul 20, 2022

The pandemic has fundamentally changed our lives. Habits have become different, and the desire to seek a freer and healthier life has intensified. That is why in the last 2 years 200,000 Bulgarians have moved to the countryside or at least bought a property far from the big city. In some regions, such as Veliko Tarnovo and Gabrovo the demand for houses exceeds 5 times their supply. Real estate agencies are reporting a jump in house prices in rural areas due to high demand. The increase is on average between 20 and 30%.
Bulgarians are mainly looking for ready-to-move-in houses, with a yard of at least 1000 sq.m.
In the villages around Veliko Tarnovo at the moment it is very difficult to find and buy a house.
According to the Association of Bulgarian Villages last year alone, the total number of newly registered in the villages was 108,550. The forecast for this year is that they will increase by another 90,000 people.
