A real report on the Latvian real estate market, based on VZD-registered deals.
Older buildings and newer developments don't just cost differently — they also make up very different shares of the total deal count. This chart shows what percentage of all this period's apartment deals happened in each era.
| Building era | % of deals | Deals | Average price | Avg. €/m² |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vecbūve (līdz 1945) | 17.4% | 358 | 41423 € | 830 €/m² |
| Padomju sērijveida (1946–1993) | 68.3% | 1406 | 20742 € | 464 €/m² |
| Jaunā celtne (1994–2014) | 7.5% | 155 | 65417 € | 1359 €/m² |
| Jaunākie projekti (2015+) | 6.8% | 141 | 108636 € | 2295 €/m² |
How it's calculated: the building era is determined by the year VZD registered the building as put into service (not the \"building series\" mentioned in listings — that's available for real transaction data too rarely to base reliable statistics on). Eras: Pre-war — {% trans "līdz 1945. gadam" %}; Soviet-era prefab — 1946–1993 ({% trans "galvenokārt tipveida paneļu un ķieģeļu mājas" %}); New building — 1994–2014; Newest developments — 2015 and later. Percentages are calculated from deals where the building year is known; eras with fewer than 5 deals in the period aren't shown separately.
