The price of apartments rose by 9.5% over the year
The Ober-Haus Lithuanian apartment price index (OHBI), which follows changes in apartment sale prices in the five biggest Lithuanian cities (Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai and Panevėžys) increased by 1.2% in September 2025. The annual apartment price growth in the biggest cities of Lithuania was 9.5% (a 8.2% increase was recorded in August 2025).
In September 2025 apartment prices in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai and Panevėžys increased by 1.3%, 1.3%, 1.1%, 0.7% and 0.3%, respectively, with the average price per square meter reaching EUR 2,850 (+37 EUR/sqm), EUR 2,002 (+25 EUR/sqm), EUR 1,863 (+21 EUR/sqm), EUR 1,242 (+8 EUR/sqm) and EUR 1,219 (+3 EUR/sqm).
In the past 12 months, the prices of apartments increased in all the biggest cities in the country: 8.9% in Vilnius, 11.6% in Kaunas, 9.1% in Klaipėda, 9.2% in Šiauliai and 9.0% in Panevėžys.
“With positive activity indicators in the country’s housing market, the rate of housing price growth in major cities continues to increase. According to data from the State Enterprise Center of Registers, 16% more houses and apartments were purchased in September 2025 than in the same month the previous year. The housing market has been in a recovery phase for over a year now, with both sellers and buyers feeling optimistic, and the annual rate of apartment price growth has reached its highest level since mid-2023.
During the first quarter of this year, apartment sales prices in the country’s major cities rose by 1.5%. In the second quarter, prices increased by 3.6%, and by another 3.1% in the third quarter. With housing prices rising rapidly, the older housing segment is attracting considerable interest from buyers due to its affordable prices. It is therefore unsurprising that this segment is also experiencing the fastest price growth. For instance, in the first quarter of 2025, buyers paid an average of €102,000 for a two-room apartment in one of Vilnius’s most popular microdistricts, whereas in the third quarter of this year, the average price was €113,000. In Kaunas, the average price paid for such apartments was €88,000 in the third quarter of this year (compared to €79,000 in the first quarter of 2025), while in Klaipėda it was €78,000 (compared to €74,000 in the first quarter of 2025),” said Raimondas Reginis, research manager for the Baltics at Ober-Haus.

What does the final office rental price include?
Companies that have decided to move from old offices to modern business centres after many years, or those new to the office rental market, are faced with a model that has been used in this sector for some time. This model is much more detailed than 'price per square metre plus utilities. Ugnė Liaudanskienė, the Ober-Haus office leasing manager, shows businesses looking for new premises what tenants pay for and how they pay for it. As residents and business representatives are much more familiar with the basic principles of apartment rentals, they have similar expectations for offices. Even in old business centres, long-established companies sometimes ask themselves what else could make up the rental price besides the price per square metre, utility bills and perhaps symbolic maintenance costs. Publicly, only the 'bare' rental price per square metre is usually declared. In Vilnius' Class A business centres, this has settled at 16–20 EUR/sq. m this year and is likely to remain so until next year. In Class B centres, it is 10–15.50 EUR/sq. m. According to Ober-Haus data, rental prices for Class A offices in the capital have increased by 17% since the end of 2020 and by 13% for Class…
