Belgrade apartment prices: 3,219 euros per square meter
Coreside's first-half 2026 report: 8,538 apartments sold, 40% of purchases financed with loans, and units above 3,000 euros per square meter make up 40% of sales.
The average realized price of an apartment in Belgrade in the first half of 2026 was 3,219 euros per square meter. The figure comes from a report by the real estate brokerage and consultancy Coreside, which operates within the company Marera and released the report today. By the same numbers, Belgrade apartment prices are increasingly moving past the 3,000 euros per square meter mark.
How many apartments were sold, and at what price?
In the first six months of 2026, 8,538 apartments were sold in Belgrade, 1.1% more than in the same period of 2025. The average price achieved was 3,219 euros per square meter. New construction averaged 3,247 euros per square meter and older housing 3,201 euros, a gap of 46 euros between the two segments.
The report, as stated, draws on data from the National Bank of Serbia, the Republic Geodetic Authority and the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia, supplemented by analyses from the Coreside team. The figures were carried by the Beta news agency.
How is the sales mix by price changing?
The biggest shift shows up in the price brackets:
- apartments above 3,000 euros per square meter made up 40% of total sales in the first half of 2026, compared with just 6% in 2021
- the 2,001 to 3,000 euros per square meter bracket is the largest single one, with 38% of sales
- the share of apartments priced between 1,001 and 2,000 euros per square meter fell from 57% to 19%
In other words, sales have moved from the cheaper segment to the pricier one, while the number of apartments sold held at the same level with a token increase of 1.1%.
How many apartments are bought with a loan?
Loan-financed purchases keep growing. In the first half of 2026, 40% of apartments were bought on credit, up from 23% in the same period of 2023, a difference of 17 percentage points.
Bojan Ljubicic, real estate portfolio director at Marera, said in the report carried by the Beta agency:
“A growing number of buyers are opting to purchase with a loan, which speaks to confidence in the market and the long-term value of real estate. At the same time, buyers are increasingly demanding when it comes to location and project quality.”
What do building permits and land sales show?
In the first six months, 1,244 building permits were issued for residential buildings, 16% more than a year earlier. The approved residential floor area, meanwhile, is down 19%. According to the report, this points to a change in the structure and average size of projects.
Building land is also gaining weight. The number of building plot sales in Belgrade has nearly tripled compared with 2015, in step with growth in construction activity and in the number of completed apartments.
For buyers planning a purchase, the key numbers from the first half of the year are 3,219 euros per square meter as the average, 3,247 euros for new construction, and 40% of sales in the bracket above 3,000 euros per square meter.
