The most expensive transaction for Unique Estates in Sofia for the year was an office building in the city center with an area of 1700 sq.m, where the selling price per sq.m was 1588 euros. The property was sold in less than a year from its listing, and an almost 19% discount from the initial price was achieved. This was stated by Svetoslava Georgieva, Chief Operating Officer of Unique Estates, in an interview for bTV Business News.
In the residential property sector, the most expensive deal for 2023 was for a luxurious penthouse in a new building in the Lozenets district, completed in 2022.

Preferred areas include Doctor's Garden, Downtown, Oborishte, Iztok, Izgrev, Boyana, and in the last 1-2 years (mainly due to new construction) areas such as Vazrazhdane, Krustova Vada, Dianabad.
