Duna House has released its monthly estimate of residential property transactions and mortgage market data. According to the report, approximately 12,200 homes changed ownership across Hungary in March, while housing-purpose mortgage loans were concluded with a total contractual value of €310 million (HUF 125 billion)
The Hungarian real estate market maintained strong momentum throughout the first quarter of 2025. Unlike last year’s trends, the steady increase in transaction volume continued into March as well.
The estimated 12,200 transactions for the month represent a 7% increase compared to February and are 10% higher than the figures recorded in March of the previous year.
As a result, the first quarter of 2025 saw 8% more residential transactions than the same period in 2024. However, the sharp rise in property prices began to dampen buyer demand noticeably in the second half of March, a shift that may eventually be reflected in transaction numbers in the coming months.
The mortgage market also showed signs of growth: based on the company group’s Hungarian data, housing-purpose mortgage loans worth HUF 125 billion were contracted in March 2025, further indicating an upswing in market activity.
