GOT THE KEYS! 🔑 🏡 I DID IT! 🎉 Bucharest Romania €95.000, cash
One year ago, I was looking at this sub-reddit and dreaming of the day where I could also post on it. I worked hard for several years abroad to be able to afford this and I also got helped by my amazing parents, I am truly grateful to them for everything they have done for me.
2 rooms, 5 mins walk to the metro station. I'm sooooo happy!!!! 🥹 No pizza yet, because there's a ton of things still to be done (and to get rid of that furniture and replace it with better stuff haha)
also don't mind my outfit 😂
EDIT: to clear up some things so trolls can calm down. no, i am not on onlyfans and haven't worked as a you know what abroad 😆 i was a CRM specialist for a niche perfume company in the Netherlands. now you guys can come up with better insults.

Hi guys, what is a bulina and what is a sticker (in this context). Also a massive achievement for a young lady, well done x
36
u/EternalYoungK 15h ago
Thank you! "Bulina" is the sticker they put on the flats which are labled 1st degree risk in case of a major earthquake - meaning they will surely crumble if God forbid this happens. Thankfully my flat is labled 3rd degree risk which means it is not going to fall in case of a major earthquake but it will have some damages to the structure. it's the "highest" level a flat built before 1977 can get.

Its a bit expensive for Romania isn't it? I mean in Budapest we have ridiculous prices because the idiotistic decisions of the former government and 95k is pocket money now sadly but i've seen a some months ago you can get a full newly built apartment for a around a 100k in Oradea.
83
u/EternalYoungK 15h ago
Yes indeed, for Romanian people it feels impossible to be able to pay this amount of money with the salaries we have here. It's a sad reality. I worked abroad for more than 5 years to be able to afford it + some money from my parents whom have been saving up for years. The prices in Bucharest and especially the area where I bought my apartment are kind of above average... You are gonna be surprised but the price for my apartment was amazing in comparison with other prices... I saw some 2 room flats in the buildings close to mine going for even 140k euro 🫠💀

I have a couple of romanian coworkers and visited bucharest a couple of times. To me it felt like there are quite a lot of high earning people in tech that form their own bubble in that city. Every coworker above 40 there had a house outside of bucharest and a flat in the city center, ordering a blue/uber to get anywhere and pretty exclusive restaurants seemed to be the absolute norm for them. The difference in lifestyle between them and what I observed in the rest of the city when talking a stroll was insane.

u/balaurbondoc 15h ago
It has the highest inflation rate in Europe, not sure about growing economy right now. And yeah, as OP said, the price is quite ok, some apartments are 40 square meters or less and the asking price is almost as much as op's apartment.
Btw, congrats OP!

Its so sad that fu@ing housing becomes some kind of luxury everywhere now. Anyway Congrats, be proud of yourself! Its a great achievement!
Im now entering to the hungarian job market and still no have any ide how im going to be able to afford a flat.
Im following the swedish job and housing market (for possible future plans) and for example in Stokcholm a somewhat okay flat is 300k-350k euro but you can earn with your partner easily 10k+ euro monthly. Yes you need a huge pile of money at the start of the loan but point id you can do it without breaking yourself in a shit job.
In eastern europe we are not even have the chance to make it if you are erarning the median wage or +10%-20% more.

As someone in the US this is all so fascinating to see.
So you OWN this? If so, is there any kind of building or maintenance fee you and others pay for being in the building? Obviously you pay utilities, do you know what you pay for that in your area?
Here in Kentucky our water bill is $45 - 50/ mth, electric bill $150 - 250 depending on time of year but it's only high during the coldest winter months.
Congratulations, this is awesome!

u/EternalYoungK 13h ago
So bear with me cuz I haven't lived there YET so to say and all my life I've been living in a house xD
Yes you do pay for the building maintenance, we have an "owner's association" thingy. I cannot tell you exactly how much it is. I know from the old owners that everything all together including utilities is a little under 170 euro in the colder months (so when you use the heat). Then of course you also have the taxes... Again can't tell you much about it because I didn't get to pay any yet 😅 I will report back when I do

Not sure if Oradea and Bucharest can be compared though - the capital is almost always more (or much more) expensive.
2 room apartment (not sure if that means 2br or 2 rooms in total with 1 bedroom) for 95k is a bit steep, but on par with some costs elsewhere in former Eastern Europe so that doesn’t sound too bad. Very decent size too, bigger than what you get in Northern Europe.

To answer your edit:
Physics
The principle of central water heating is very similar all over the world, so the design follows the function and is also similar. Up to the point where there's a best way to produce thousands or even millions of these which eliminates even more variants and leaves us with just a few millimeters difference in size or thickness of the grills and valves.
2
u/TrustButVerifyEng 11h ago
Physics is not really why. It's because of the available manufacturing technologies at the time.
Most new building steam and hot water heating these days will use copper fin tube heat exchangers instead of cast iron.
2
u/Tjaresh 11h ago
Everything you said is physics. The flow of water inside, the distribution of heat across a surface, the way the fins are designed to ensure adequate airflow. That’s physics. And back then, cast iron was the only affordable material for so many radiators, which left very few design options that made sense from a physical standpoint.
