Latvia Sotheby\u2019s International Realty\u2019s latest market review reveals that Me\u017eaparks continues to strengthen its leading position in the premium segment, while Baltezers, Alderi, and Ber\u0123i are showing emerging market trends.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study analyzes transactions from 2024 through the end of July 2025, based on data from the Price Bank. The review covers premium apartment and townhouse\/duplex transactions above \u20ac150,000, land transactions for private development above \u20ac150,000, and private house transactions above \u20ac250,000 in Me\u017eaparks, Baltezers, Alderi, Ber\u0123i, and Upesciems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apartments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me\u017eaparks is currently the most active premium apartment market \u2013 almost 100 transactions have been registered over the past year and a half, 97% of which occurred in new developments. <\/strong>The average price reaches around EUR 3,000\/m\u00b2, maintaining a stable level with a slight increase at the beginning of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baltezers and Alderi show 18 transactions with an average price of around EUR 2,000\/m\u00b2, but here the market is dominated solely by the secondary market \u2013 no transactions in new developments have been recorded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Ber\u0123i and Upesciems, the number of transactions is very low, and the price level (EUR 1,300\u20131,900\/m\u00b2) is not sufficiently representative to be considered a stable market trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Baltezers and Alderi maintain steady demand, though with lower prices than in Me\u017eaparks, making these districts attractive to buyers seeking a combination of quality and larger plots. At the same time, market activity in Ber\u0123i and Upesciems shows that an increasing number of buyers are beginning to explore alternatives beyond the most prestigious districts.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
