Housing prices in Slovenia continued their long-running upward trend in 2025, with the country’s Statistical Office revising annual residential property price growth from 5.8% to 7.4%. The adjustment follows the inclusion of additional transaction data, which revealed that significantly more newly built homes were sold than originally recorded.
The strongest revision concerned new residential properties. Prices of newly built homes were ultimately found to have increased by 9.7% in 2025, compared to the preliminary estimate of just 0.1%. New apartments rose by 9.9%, while prices of newly built family houses increased by 8.6%. The number of new property transactions was also revised upward, from 397 to 675, with the total value of sales reaching €183.7 million.
The upward momentum has carried into 2026. During the first quarter, residential property prices increased by 3% compared to the previous quarter and by 9.3% year-on-year. Existing homes recorded annual price growth of 10.1%, reflecting continued demand despite affordability concerns.
Among major urban centres, resale apartment prices rose most sharply in Maribor, while prices in Ljubljana recorded a slight quarterly decline. However, apartments in the capital remained 6.3% more expensive than a year earlier. New homes also continued to gain value, rising 6.9% quarter-on-quarter and 6.8% compared to the first quarter of 2025.
