Residential real estate is quite sensitive to macroeocnomic events, as the practice has reflected back in 2008 (US mortgage subprime crisis) and in 2019-2020 (pandemic influence). This also goes for Moldova, even if one may appreciate that our country is far from the epicenter of global economy. In 2008 our country suffered a real estate crisis, which lasted for several years and the price per square meter for new flats in Chisniau dropped from 800-900 to 500 euros.

Begining of 2020, the price of the apartments in new residential complexes stood at around 650 euros. During the lockdown, for 2-3 months the real estate market was virtually paralyzed, and subsequently prices began to rise sharply by about 50 euros per square meter each quarter.Thus, at the end of 2021, the average price for apartments in new blocks or those under construction reached 850-900 euros per square meter. In Moldova, one can say that the appartment market is vastly in the hands of real estate agencies. They take over the search engine optimization times, provide hedge over risks and fraud, so we can say with certainty that 90% of real estate transactions are brokered by agencies. Choosing the right and reliable real estate agent is a difficult and meticulous process.  The most well-known agencies in Moldova are considered to be:

1. Proimobil
2. Axa Imobil
3. City Imobil
4.Cvartal Imobil
5.Imobilus
6.Lara
7. Metru Ptrat
8. Nika Imobil
9. O’key Imobil
10.Remark Imobil
11. Acces Imobil
