SEE Investment Figures Q1 2026

Real estate investment activity in South‑Eastern Europe started 2026 at a slower pace, reflecting a more cautious and selective market environment.

Offices remained the most active sector, followed by retail, while mixed‑use properties continued to attract interest. Industrial activity was limited mainly due to constrained supply, despite strong demand, and hotel transactions were largely absent during the quarter. Investment activity was concentrated in a few markets, with Croatia leading, and Slovenia and Bulgaria also showing solid engagement.

Investor demand continues to focus on logistics assets, retail parks, and high‑quality office buildings, although limited availability remains a key challenge. Buyers are predominantly local and regional, with growing interest from international funds in selected markets.

The investment outlook for the remainder of 2026 remains stable and cautiously positive, broadly aligned with trends observed in the previous year.
