In October 2026, the Sibiu Market Pulse was 20 out of 100, a cold market. This is a proprietary Vianto Properties score, statistically validated (PCA), which combines transactions, prices, lending and affordability into a single indicator that anticipates the direction of prices over the next 12 months.
At an average price of 2,051 €/m² (October 2026) and an average net salary in Sibiu of 6,032 lei (~1,130 €, BNR rate 5.34), one square metre costs about 1.82 net salaries. A studio of ~30 m² takes roughly 4.5 years of work to pay off, a 2-room apartment (~50 m²) about 7.6 years, and a 3-room apartment (~70 m²) almost 10.6 years, assuming you saved every single income in full.
The average apartment price in Sibiu reached 2,051 €/m² in October 2026, up 7.6% from a year ago and roughly 43% above October 2022. The Vianto Properties data series starts in 2013, so the long-term trend is visible, not just the last few months.
In October 2026, 748 real estate transactions were registered with ANCPI in Sibiu County, down 15.0% compared with October 2025. Of these, 225 were apartments and studios (individual units) and 523 were land plots. The figure includes all property transfers registered in the land register during the month, not only home 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 October 2026, a total of 55,687 real estate transactions were registered with ANCPI nationwide, down 4.8% compared with October 2025. Of these, 14,782 were individual units (apartments and studios), up 3.0% from a year earlier. New mortgages registered: 27,746 (-18.6% year on year). The data comes from the monthly statistics published by ANCPI (National Agency for Cadastre and Real Estate Advertising) and processed by Vianto Properties: full series since 2009, updated monthly.
In October 2026, the Sibiu Real Estate Market Pulse was 20 out of 100 - a cold market.

In April 2026, the real HPI / inflation-adjusted (BIS/FRED) at national level was 74.30, up 1.5% compared with a year ago.
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.

Why it matters: It is the only index based on transaction prices (from notaries), not on advertised prices - it shows what was actually paid, not what was asked.

In April 2026, HPI for existing buildings at national level was 178, up 11.8% compared to a year ago.
What it shows: The evolution of transaction prices (from notaries) only for existing (second-hand) housing. Base: 2015 = 100. How to read it: Compare with the HPI for new builds - if this index rises faster, demand for second-hand housing is stronger (usually in central areas where little is being built any more). Why it matters: It reflects the most liquid market - most transactions in Romania are for existing housing. Source: INS Romania, published by Eurostat.

In April 2026, the nominal HPI (BIS/FRED) at national level was 152, up 12.3% compared with a year ago.
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.

How to read it: Compare with the official index (Eurostat) - if this one rises faster, developers are raising prices more aggressively than the second-hand market. Why it matters: It shows the real appetite for new construction and the pricing power of developers. Source: INS Romania, published by Eurostat.

In October 2026, the mortgage-to-transaction ratio in Sibiu was 61.8% - the share of purchases supported by credit.
How many mortgages are registered for every 100 real estate transactions. A ratio of 60% means most purchases involve bank credit. Over 80% = market heavily dependent on financing. Note: ANCPI data includes all mortgages (including refinancing, land guarantees), not just home purchase loans - which is why some rural counties may have very high values. Values over 100% indicate non-purchase mortgages (refinancing, guarantees) or ANCPI registration time lag.
