The Year Started with Optimism: Such Numbers Haven't Been Seen in 12 Years
Klaipėda experienced a significant increase in apartment sales in January 2026, marking the highest sales figures in over a decade.
In January 2026, Klaipėda reported the sale of 255 apartments, which is a remarkable 25% increase compared to the same month last year when 204 apartments were sold. This surge in sales reflects a revitalized market, with January 2026 standing out as the most active for apartment transactions in the city over the past 12 years. To put this in perspective, the peak month for sales in January was back in 2007 with 346 units sold, while January 2009 saw the lowest activity with just 72 sales.
The data from the real estate portal untu.lt shows that there was a 1.6% rise in the number of recorded apartment sales transactions in January compared to December of the previous year. This upward trend is significant as it marks a new phase in the Lithuanian housing market, leading experts and analysts to discuss the potential implications and future directions of property prices. The discussion is fueled by the stark contrast between current figures and historical lows, suggesting a potential recovery in the real estate sector.
Additionally, the article highlights the most expensive property sold in Klaipėda in January, a 83-square-meter apartment located on Bangų Street, constructed in 1971. This not only emphasizes the improving market conditions but also indicates a growing demand for both old and new real estate in the city. As the sales continue to rise, stakeholders in the real estate market will be keen to see if this trend holds and how it will impact housing prices moving forward.
