Rent prices have been climbing all across Hungary for the past 10 months

The national rental market closed another month with growing prices, producing a two-digit increase compared to January’s low point. However, prices have not reached the pre-epidemic peak. A recent analysis shows the prices of residential real estate rentals.

In Budapest, there was a 10.5 per cent increase in rent on the rental market. January saw the lowest point in terms of house prices. Since then, prices have been rising steadily. However, they still have not reached the pre-pandemic level.

“Rental prices were more than 42 per cent higher in November than in 2015. This is approaching, but not reaching, the peak in January 2020 when the indicator was close to 46 per cent,” said LĂ¡szlĂ³ Balogh, a leading economics expert on ingatlan.com. In northern Hungary, the price increase was the biggest on an annual basis, with the price of an apartment rising by as much as 12 per cent. Meanwhile, in the rest of the country, for example in Budapest, it rose by between 7 and 10.5 per cent, writes origo.hu.

  1. Why – as this is, when you take time and dissect, pull apart, look at ALL angles, to find an Answer, undergoing a complete Analysis – in relation to the subject of this article – in summarizing reason(s) – the number (1) one reason – is Human Greed.
    Is the rapid inflation we are “living” with in Hungary at present, the highest in 14 years, and – Economically & Financially – no signs of it ending – what – by Human accelleration/input – comes under – Human Greed.

    Hungary – post February 2020 especially Budapest, the “engine room” of Tourism in Hungary – has been – Ravaged.

    Hungary – prior to February 2020 – our GPD – was returning a “mean” on our overall Country’s balance sheet of 9.3%.
    This GPD figure 9.3% – REALIZE – the IMPORTANCE – this catagory of Income into the Hungarian Economy – it is.
    Look at “other” countries – across broad and wide spectrms – of there Financial & Economic – functionality – and you will conclude – the the 9.3% of GDP – through TOURISM – is “up there” – as a Major feed of Oxygen & Blood Flow – in our countrys – SURVIVAL.

    Happy to example personally – we reside in District V – and look at life in a VISIONARY – a Broad & Expansive platform, that takes in – people from “All Stations in Life.

    District V – continues – the mass number of vacant flats,apartments, hotel accomadation fill rate – that the RAVAGEING of Tourism – its Disappearance – is OBVIOUS.

    I dismiss – its a Major Factor – why the “claimed” increases in Rental Property’s – are what are contained in this article.

    Human Greed – sharing the Pain & Stress – the Uncertainties – that the Future may hold for Hungary.
    Human Greed – ugly, but we are SADLY – surrounded and engulfed – in it.

  2. Property in Hungary – Budapest in the main, in all catagories of the Property landscape – Top Heavy – with Sellers rather than Buyers – which is an on-going – Major Economic & Financial – Concern.
    The principal indicators used – to access and evaluate – the performance – current and future – of a countrys – Economy – all these indicators are heading in directions – that CONFIRM – the Economy of Hungary – is in Massive Trouble.
    Property – all of its componentry and make-up – prices MUST – FALL.
