Hungary's official trend comes from the Central Statistical Office (KSH) and the National Bank of Hungary (MNB), and is also in Eurostat. Hungary had the fastest house price growth in the EU in 2025 (the MNB reported about 24 percent over the year to Q3 2025). The per square meter figures here are asking prices from ingatlan.com, converted to euros at about 355 forint per euro (the rate in mid 2026).
Budapest and the Lake Balaton resort area (Siofok) lead, both around 4,200 EUR per square meter asking. The regional cities (Debrecen, Pecs, Gyor) are cheaper, near 2,700 to 2,900.
