In 2025 developers built only half as much as buyers purchased
In 2025, the Lithuanian housing market was characterised by a particularly rapid increase in housing sales volumes in both the secondary and primary markets. According to the Ober-Haus review, a particularly rapid recovery was recorded in the primary market of large cities, where buyers were active in purchasing newly built apartments in completed and newly constructed buildings. Of all the apartments actually built and sold on the primary market, the capital city showed the greatest imbalance in 2025. According to Ober-Haus data, developers in Vilnius built 2,787 apartments for sale in apartment buildings in 2025, which was 8% more than in 2024. Meanwhile, over 5,700 apartments were sold on the primary market in Vilnius during the year, representing an increase of 82%. 'This means that developers actually built half as much as the recorded housing demand. Since the project planning and construction process is lengthy and often takes longer than planned, the rapid recovery of the market has left developers unable to meet demand," says Raimondas Reginis, Ober-Haus's market research manager for the Baltic countries. This situation is unfavourable for both buyers and developers. Buyers have limited choice and face rapidly rising prices, while developers are unable to fully exploit…
