In Vlora, apartment prices on the first line of the Lungomare have reached up to 2,000–2,800 €/m², according to some recent reports from the Albanian media — almost double the prices from a few years ago. IllyrianHome still has few active listings for sale in Vlora with full price and area to obtain a reliable average of ours, so this article gathers what media sources have reported, with every figure related to its source.
What sources report
- Shqiptarja.com, citing real estate agent Breshani: prices on the Lungomare have reached up to €2,000/m², with strong demand from Russian and Ukrainian buyers; demand from Kosovo Albanians, emigrants, and Italians has led to prices doubling in some areas, up to €1,500/m².
- Euronews Albania: apartments on the Lungomare of Vlora are being sold for around €1,600/m², with high interest from foreigners.
- Panorama.com.al: In generally the most sought-after coastal areas, prices reach up to €4,500/m² for premium units and resorts.
- Shqiptarja.com (special article): prices from Lungomare to Radhimë have "soared," with real estate agents linking this to the construction of the new Vlora International Airport.
From these reports, a reasonable range for Vlora is generally around 700–1,800 €/m² for areas away from the coast, up to 2,000–2,800 €/m² on the first line of the Lungomare — emphasizing that this is not the range for the entire city, but for the most sought-after areas along the coast.
National Context
According to Balkanweb and Albanian Daily News, citing the Bank of Albania, the national housing price index increased by almost 42% (the Bank of Albania reports it as 41.7%) in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period last year. This is a national figure (the Fischer Index of the Bank of Albania), not specific to Vlora — but it indicates the overall upward pressure on housing prices across the country, including the coast.

Our team has previously written from the direct experience of our agents in the field about the specific dynamics of Vlora — price changes by micro-zones and the effect of the new airport: contact our team — we have analyzed these dynamics in more detail than this media-based summary can do.
Why don't we give our average yet
Every micro-area of Vlora has very different dynamics — a first line versus the center, a new project versus an existing building. A reliable average of IllyrianHome requires a sufficient sample of real listings on our platform, something we aim to build as our inventory in Vlora grows.
What to Do Now
If you are looking for property in Vlora, always compare several current listings for the specific area you are interested in, not just a general city range — the differences between areas are significant, as the above reports themselves show.
