State and Trends of Real Estate Sales in Slovenia (2025–2026)

The Slovenian real estate market has experienced interesting shifts over the past year - from record prices and increased demand to changes in the sales structure. Although price growth has somewhat slowed, the market remains dynamic and appealing for both domestic buyers and investors.

📈 Prices are rising - but slowly

In 2025, residential property prices in Slovenia continued to rise, but somewhat more slowly than in previous years. Official statistical data shows that prices for apartments and houses increased by about 2.7% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the previous year. This is significantly lower than the high price growth seen in 2021-2023, but it still indicates that the market is not declining.

📌 A particularly pronounced price increase was observed in used apartments and private houses, while prices for new apartments fell or stagnated during certain periods.

🏙 Record prices in Ljubljana and other cities

The Surveying and Mapping Authority of Slovenia (GURS) reported that apartment prices at the national level exceeded €3,000/m² for the first time in the first half of 2025, while in Ljubljana, the median price reached nearly €4,900/m². This confirms that there is still strong demand in urban centers, especially in the capital and its surroundings.

👉 An independent analysis similarly reported that apartment prices in Ljubljana reached new records and that demand remains high, despite higher prices.

📊 Transactions and Sales Structure

Despite rising prices, data shows that the market is somewhat losing momentum in the number of sales transactions. In the third quarter of 2025, the number of sold residential units was slightly lower than in the previous quarter, although the total value of transactions remained high.

Data from the first half of 2025 even indicates that more apartments and houses were sold than in the same period last year, suggesting that the market is not completely cooling off - just becoming more stable.

👉 Additionally, the sales structure is changing - the share of new apartment sales remains relatively small (about 5% of all transactions), indicating a strong focus of buyers on used properties.

🔮 What can we expect in the coming months?

Analysts predict that price growth in Slovenia will continue in 2026, but at a more moderate pace (approximately 3–6% annually over the next few years), with key factors being:

• limited housing supply, especially in larger cities,
• infrastructure projects (e.g., development of transport links and new urban centers),
• demand from young families and investors, seeking safe, long-term investments,
• and macroeconomic factors (economic growth, loans, interest rates).

📍 Forecasts indicate that Ljubljana will continue to outperform the national average in price growth, due to its strong economic connections and limited supply of quality properties.

💬 Conclusion: the market remains stable and promising

The Slovenian real estate market is in a phase of stable growth - prices continue to rise, sales remain active but more considered, and demand is still strong. This means that the market is suitable for both personal living, where buyers seek lasting value, and for investments, where thoughtful investments can yield long-term benefits.
