Budapest property is in demand

[FWL]

There is a very interesting article in the Financial Times which covers the property price boom in Budapest. Despite political unrest within Hungary it seems that both domestic and foreign investors have a renewed appetite for property investment in the country.

Tremendous and significant political risks still remain. A run up in pricing between two arbitrary points of time does not indicate a trend, and does not mean that this and similar markets are still not wildly speculative and should only represent a small portion of an investor's portfolio - if at all.

I dont think anyone is saying you should go "all in" in Budapest but after comparing and contrasting the price/political risk in the country it would appear that many people are starting to see value.
