Lithuania leads in housing price growth

Prices jumped over 10%, nearly twice the EU levels

According to recent statistical research, housing prices in Lithuania have risen by more than 10% over the past year. This is almost twice the average rate for the European Union. Only Hungary, Portugal, and Croatia have seen higher price growth. Neighboring Baltic countries are also experiencing growth, but it does not exceed 8.5%. Experts believe that supply shortages and high demand in major cities are the main reasons for rising prices. This trend creates risks for housing affordability, as prices are outpacing income growth, which could exacerbate social inequality.

Context

Overall, real estate prices in the EU are rising, but the trend in Lithuania is significantly higher than the continent's average.

Summary:

In Lithuania, housing prices rose by more than 10%, exceeding the EU average. The increase is driven by supply shortages and high demand in major cities, posing a threat to housing affordability.
