New builds in Slovenia

How many new builds are sold, 2015–2026

Building parts sold that the register flagged as a new build, and their share of every building part sold in the same year.

The register's new-build flag has been filled in consistently enough to count from 2015 onwards. Before that it was almost always blank, so the years before 2015 are not shown here.

New-build and existing apartment prices, 2015–2026

Median price per square metre, apartments flagged as new builds against every other apartment. A year is plotted once it carries at least 15 transactions with a price per square metre.

The difference is not the price of newness. A new build also differs from the existing stock in location, size and condition, so this is the gap between two populations rather than the effect of age on its own.

New builds by municipality

66 municipalities carry at least 10 new-build sales with a price per square metre. Where two years hold too few, a wider period is used, and the Period column says which. The difference is always measured over the same period; a dash means the other side is too thin over it.

Building permits and new builds sold

Dwellings permitted in each year (SURS) against new builds sold in the same year (the property transaction register).

Time passes between a permit and a sale: the permit is issued before construction and the transaction is recorded after it, typically one to three years later. The two series therefore do not line up year for year, and they do not measure the same thing: permits count every dwelling allowed, sales count only the ones that reached the market and that the register flagged. What can be read from them is direction: periods with more permits carry more new-build sales a few years later.

Where new construction is happening

Over the last 12 months Slovenia recorded 8,144 instances of new construction: 160 construction starts and 7,984 first-time building permits. Reported removals over the same period: 613. A building permit says someone may build; a notice of start of construction says someone did.

The ten municipalities with the most new construction

The ranking is in absolute counts, not per head: population is not part of the data this site holds, so it is not computed here. Large municipalities are therefore near the top partly because they are large.

New construction here is two things, and each of them is a different claim. A notice of commencement for a new building means work actually began that day; there are few of them, because a new building has no building number to be filed against until it is finished. A building permit granted for the first time means only that someone may build; some of those buildings never go up. Extensions, amendments, annulments and reconstructions are not counted as new construction, and inside a plain building permit the register does not separate a new building from a reconstruction, so the permit count is an upper bound. Removals are given separately and never added to new construction. The register publishes no investor, no contractor, no size of the works and no dwelling count, so neither does this page.
