Bulgaria's vacation property maintained its status as the most profitable real estate investment.
A research of imot.bg showed that most luxurious vacation property was located in the coastal Sunny Beach resort, Dnevnik newspaper reported.
More than 1600 vacation apartments were offered for sale. Nearly half were located in Sunny Beach.
The development, however, did not affect prices. Despite the steady supply prices remained high, real estate agents said.
Most owners offered two-bedroom apartments. Average prices of sq m in Sunny Beach reached 975 euro. In Sozopol resort the average price was 930 euro a sq m. Apartments still under construction sold cheaper.
In other coastal resorts like Ahtopol, Nessebar and Pomorie prices varied between 580 and 700 euro a sq m, Dnevnik reported.
Three-bedroom apartments were not offered that often since investors dealt cautiously with such projects. Demand was not high enough yet and most property seekers still preferred two-bedroom apartments, Dnevnik reported.
Ataka and Order Law and Justice parties stage symbolic blockades at Bulgaria’s borders with Turkey on eve of July 5 2009 parliamentary election, while reports record influx of would-be voters and, it is claimed, flights are being chartered from Turkey.
In a blow against a problem that has been plaguing Bulgaria’s elections, State Agency for National Security and Interior Ministry say several people in a ‘major criminal organisation’ have been arrested for vote-buying, on the eve of the July 5 vote.
Barometer Info survey on July 3 2009, just ahead of the eve of Bulgaria’s national parliamentary elections, gives GERB 27.05 per cent and Sergei Stanishev’s Coalition for Bulgaria 19.09 per cent.
The exact number of people sacked from duty out of the 600 who refused to go to work on Monday is undisclosed, although reports claim that as of June 3 at least four people were told they were surplus to requirements.
Open your mind and face the unknown: the 2009 general elections in Bulgaria.
