Slovenia’s residential property market continues to grow, but price movements vary significantly by property type and region. According to the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia (SURS), residential property prices rose by 9.1% year-on-year. Existing properties continued to appreciate, while prices of newly built apartments declined.

How Have Property Prices Changed?

Property category	Quarterly change	Annual change
Residential property overall	+3.0%	+9.1%
Existing residential property	+4.6%	+12.2%
Existing apartments	+3.1%	+11.5%
Existing houses	+7.2%	+13.2%
New apartments	−7.2%	−6.9%

Source: SURS. Preliminary data.

Existing houses recorded the strongest annual price growth, at 13.2%. New apartments, by contrast, became 6.9% cheaper year-on-year. These figures reflect price movements across each category as a whole, not changes in the price of every individual property.

Ljubljana and Other Regions

Over the year, prices of existing apartments increased by:

• Ljubljana: +6.2%
• Maribor: +13.6%
• Rest of Slovenia: +12.9%

Price growth in Ljubljana was noticeably lower than in Maribor and other regions. This highlights the importance of local market conditions when assessing property values.

Slovenia’s real estate market cannot be assessed solely through national indicators. Even within the same segment, price growth varies significantly depending on the region and property type.

For buyers and investors, it is essential to understand not only overall market trends but also the characteristics of a specific location, the actual prices of comparable properties and the prospects for resale. These factors play a major role in determining a property’s liquidity and long-term investment potential.
