Traditionally, Bulgarians buy properties in Greek cities close to the border, as well as along some of the three arms. However, it turns out that there is also interest in Turkish properties. Specifically, in apartments in Edirne. Prices start at 120,000 EUR.
„Purchases are mainly for investment purposes. Most Bulgarians who buy apartments in Edirne decide to rent them out. There are also those who buy for their own needs. The latter, coming often to shop, prefer to sleep in their own home rather than travel all day,“ local brokers explain.
The main group of buyers are from Burgas, Plovdiv, Haskovo and Yambol.
The brokers admit that in the last year there has been a significant decline in Bulgarians who go shopping in neighboring Edirne, but “nonetheless, we have regular visitors who come for a walk, shop, go to restaurants. Especially during the holidays in Bulgaria, there are many Bulgarians here, and the hotels are full,“ brokers also say.
In December 2024 alone, 1,000 homes were sold in Edirne. Of these, 300 are new construction.
