Why investors choose Hungary
Affordable Entry, Exceptional Upside
Attractive Property Prices
Real estate in Budapest remains significantly under-valued compared to major EU cities like Berlin, Vienna, and Amsterdam. Investors can acquire prime properties at a fraction of Western European prices, with strong potential for value growth.
High Rental Yields & Capital Appreciation
Budapest offers some of the highest rental yields in Central Europe, with an average of 5,4%. Property values in Budapest and other key cities have seen consistent growth over the past decade, making real estate a strong long-term investment.
Favorable Tax & Investment Climate
Hungary boasts a corporate tax rate of just 9%, the lowest in the EU — alongside a stable economy and pro-business policies. This makes it an attractive destination for international investors and European manufacturers.
Strategic Location & Infrastructure
Growth
Situated in the heart of Europe, Hungary is a logistics and investment hub with excellent regional and international connections. Ongoing infrastructure spending and EU-funded development projects further increase the country’s appeal for investors.
Strong Demand from Expats, Tourists & Students
Budapest’s popularity as a top European destination ensures year-round demand for both short- and long-term rentals. A growing expat community, large student population, and steady tourism drive stable occupancy and returns.
Strong Currency & Interest Rate Advantage
Forint (HUF) volatility and high local interest rates make buying with stronger foreign currencies especially advantageous. Locals are trending towards rent rather than buy, supporting sustained rental demand and higher yields for investors.
