In June 2026, the Market Pulse for Sibiu was 29 out of 100, a cold market. It is a proprietary Vianto Properties score, statistically validated (PCA), which combines transactions, prices, lending and affordability into a single indicator that anticipates price direction over 12 months.
At an average price of 2.034 €/m² (September 2026) and an average net salary in Sibiu of 6.025 lei (~1.145 €, BNR rate 5.26), one square meter costs approximately 1.78 net salaries. A studio apartment of ~30 m² is paid for in approximately 4.4 years of work, a 2-room apartment (~50 m²) in about 7.4 years, and a 3-room apartment (~70 m²) in almost 10.4 years, assuming you saved your entire income.
The average price of apartments in Sibiu reached 2.034 €/m² in September 2026, up 7.4% from a year ago and approximately 41% from September 2022. The Vianto Properties data series starts from 2013, so the long-term trend is visible, not just the last few months.
In June 2026, 936 real estate transactions were registered at ANCPI in Sibiu County, up 26.7% from June 2025. 265 of them were apartments and studio apartments (individual units), and 393 were land plots. The figure includes all property transfers registered in that month, not just residential sales.
ANCPI (National Agency for Cadastre and Real Estate Publicity) publishes monthly, for each county, the number of real estate transactions registered, mortgages recorded and applications filed at cadastral offices. These are the only official data on market volume: a transaction appears in statistics after it has been registered in the land register, not at contract signing. Vianto Properties retrieves these figures monthly, verifies them against the previous month and publishes them on this page along with prices, interest rates and inflation, for Sibiu, for all counties and at national level.
In June 2026, 51.808 real estate transactions were registered at ANCPI at national level in total, up 5.3% from June 2025.

In January 2026, the real HPI / inflation-adjusted (BIS/FRED) at national level was 72.44, down 2.0% year-on-year.
What it shows: How expensive housing is in Romania, adjusted for inflation. Base: 2010 = 100. How to read it: If the index is 72, housing actually costs 28% less than in 2010 – even though the price in lei has risen. Inflation makes the difference. Why it matters: The price in listings may go up, but the real purchasing power of an apartment may fall at the same time. This index shows real value, not nominal value. Source: BIS via Federal Reserve (FRED) – the only international index of Romanian real estate prices adjusted for inflation.

What it shows: Evolution of real prices (adjusted for inflation) for residential property sales in Romania. Base: 2015 = 100. How to read it: If the index is 166, real prices have increased by 66% compared to 2015. Why it matters: It is the only index based on transaction prices (from notaries), not listing prices - it shows what was actually paid, not what was asked.

What it shows: Evolution of transaction prices for existing residential properties only (second-hand). Base: 2015 = 100. How to read it: Compare with HPI new buildings - if this index is rising faster, demand for second-hand is stronger (usually in central areas where new construction is limited). Why it matters: It reflects the most liquid market - most transactions in Romania are for existing properties. Source: INS Romania, published by Eurostat.

What it shows: Evolution of residential prices in Romania in nominal terms (without inflation adjustment - the price on paper). Base: 2010 = 100. How to read it: If the index is 130, nominal prices have increased by 30% compared to 2010. But this doesn't mean properties have actually become more expensive - inflation could be higher. Why it matters: Compare with real HPI (inflation-adjusted) BIS - the difference between the two indices shows exactly how much of the price increase is real and how much is just inflation.

What it shows: Evolution of transaction prices for new residential properties only (recent construction). Base: 2015 = 100.

In June 2026, in Sibiu the mortgage/transaction ratio was 53.4% - how much of purchases are supported by credit.

Values over 100% indicate non-purchase mortgages (refinancing, guarantees) or ANCPI registration time lag.
