The slowing down of the Bulgarian property market is most obvious at the Black Sea resorts, namely the Sunny Beach and the Golden Sands, and in the mountain ski resorts like Bansko and Pamporovo. The price of properties there have reached their peak levels and the number of purchases has been falling. There is no demand for such properties, while the the properties on offer are many. This is the reason why the Bulgarian banks avoid financing such purchases, as well as the construction of properties along the coast. According to leading business and legal advisers, the prospective investors can not  rely on off-plan sales at the moment. Many hotels along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast have been put up for sale and there are no prospective buyers interested in them. This means that most of them will be acquired by the Bulgarian banks which credited their construction. In the long run if the intensive construction does not stop, many hotels along the coast will have to be demolished like in Spain. However, in order to do this, a new legislative framework needs to be introduced by the Bulgarian parliament, and leading solicitors have been investigating the Spanish experience and preparing the necessary amendments to the current Bulgarian laws. Generally, the lawyers and the law companies seem to be more occupied than anybody else involved in the construction business.

Away from the Black Sea and the mountain resorts, the Bulgarian property market keeps moving because traditionally Bulgarians consider buying a property not only an investment but  most of all a form of security.
