Hungary is the least desirable country in Europe for homebuyers with a score of just 0.77 out of 10. This low score can be attributed to an incredibly high increase in property prices, which have more than doubled on average since 2015. There are also relatively few property searches focused on Hungary, with only 58,900 in the last twelve months.
-
Lithuania is the second least attractive European country for property searchers scoring 0.89 out of 10. Although property prices have not risen as much as in Hungary, in Lithuania they have almost doubled since 2015. There were just under 34,000 property searches targeting the country, the second lowest in the study.
-
The Czech Republic completes the bottom three with a score of 1.16. The combination of high real estate price increases, low relative affordability and few searches is only mitigated by the slower increase in rental prices in the country.
-
Italy is the Property Hotspot of Europe with a score of 8.81, making it the most desirable location for people looking for a new home.

Italy received more than 968,000 property searches in the past 12 months, indicating strong public interest.
