Prices have been rising fast from historically low levels. In Bansko for example, land that was available at 5 euros per square metre in January 2002 is now available at 130 euros per sqm.
Bulgarian property is hot - since 2002 foreign investors have been increasing active in all sectors; residential, land, commercial, and tourist property.
The local Bulgarians, now used to the foreign influx, are friendly and welcoming.
Tempting real esate propositions are all around; houses start at a mere 5000 euros
However, it is worth getting a reputable lawyer to represent only your interests. On the whole there are few problems for the foreign investor, but occasionally properties are put on the market with debts still attached, or ownership is in disspute.

There are four main areas to invest in for the overseas home hunter.
1. City (Sofia, Varna)
2. Ski (Bansko, Pamporovo, Borovets)
3. Coast (Sunny Beach, Golden Sands)
4. Inland (Veliko Tarnovo)
The coast has seen major development for quite some time now. The vibrant resort of Sunny Beach has always been a favourite location for holidaymakers for Russia as well as Bulgarians. However exapnsion has been driven more recently with investment from the west and Sunny Beach is now 3 times the size that it was 10 years ago.
There are still many opportunities in Bulgaria, and compared to other countries in the Balkan Peninsular, it still remains good value.
