Real Estate Insight: Days on Market indicator Climbs for Homes in Hungary

• 29 Apr 2026 6:32 AM

The number of days it took homes in Hungary to sell after they were listed averaged 95 days in January-April, up from 84 days in the same period a year earlier, real estate broker Duna House said on Tuesday.

In Budapest, the days on market indicator climbed to 75 days from 45 days for flats and to 112 days from 106 for detached homes.

In county seats, the indicator rose to 75 days from 65-66 days for flats and to 123 days from 117 days for detached homes.

Ingatlan.com analyst Laszlo Balogh said higher prices were mitigating demand in bigger cities, but the Home Start subsidised credit scheme for first-time home buyers was still driving demand in smaller settlements, where real estate is cheaper.
