Can I afford to buy in Vilnius in 2026?

What's the typical total budget (all-in) to buy an apartment in Vilnius in 2026?

As of June 2026, a foreign buyer should budget about €165,000 to €190,000 locally, which is €165,000 to €190,000 in EUR and about $191,000 to $220,000, to buy a normal one-bedroom apartment in Vilnius with basic buyer costs included.

We go deeper and try to understand what costs can be avoided or minimized (and how) in our Vilnius property pack.

What down payment is typical to buy in Vilnius in 2026?

As of June 2026, a normal mortgage buyer in Vilnius should assume a 15% down payment, so a €205,000 two-bedroom apartment needs about €30,750 locally, which is €30,750 in EUR and about $35,600, before closing costs.

Most Lithuanian banks currently use 15% as the normal minimum down payment for a first home, while the lower 10% first-home rule is expected from August 2026 and may still depend on the buyer and the bank file.

For a foreign buyer in Vilnius, a safer down payment target is often 20% to 30%, because non-resident income, foreign-currency income, source-of-funds checks and bank caution can all reduce the loan amount.

Which neighborhoods are cheapest or priciest in Vilnius in 2026?

How much does the price per m² for apartments vary by neighborhood in Vilnius in 2026?

As of June 2026, Vilnius apartment prices range from about €1,500 to more than €6,000 per m² locally, which is €1,500 to more than €6,000 in EUR and about $1,735 to more than $6,940 per m², depending on the neighborhood.

The most affordable Vilnius neighborhoods are usually Aukštieji Paneriai, Salininkai, Naujoji Vilnia and Grigiškės, where many apartment prices sit around €1,500 to €2,700 per m² locally, or about $1,735 to $3,120 per m².

The most expensive Vilnius neighborhoods are usually Paupys, Senamiestis, Užupis and Žvėrynas, where many good apartments cost about €4,800 to €6,300 per m² locally, or about $5,550 to $7,285 per m².

What neighborhoods are best for first-time buyers on a budget in Vilnius in 2026?

As of June 2026, the top three Vilnius neighborhoods for first-time buyers on a budget are Pašilaičiai, Fabijoniškės and Pilaitė, because prices are still lower than central Vilnius and the apartment stock is easy to compare.

In those budget-friendly Vilnius neighborhoods, a realistic apartment price range is about €120,000 to €210,000 locally, which is €120,000 to €210,000 in EUR and about $139,000 to $243,000, depending on size and building condition.

Pašilaičiai, Fabijoniškės and Pilaitė offer practical shops, schools, transport links and a large supply of normal apartments, which makes the buying process easier for a non-professional foreign buyer.

The main trade-off is that these Vilnius neighborhoods are less prestigious than Senamiestis, Naujamiestis or Žvėrynas, so resale growth may depend more on building quality than on location branding.

Which neighborhoods have the fastest-rising apartment prices in Vilnius in 2026?

As of June 2026, the fastest-rising Vilnius apartment neighborhoods appear to be Naujininkai, Justiniškės and Šnipiškės, with Naujamiestis and Pilaitė also showing strong buyer attention.

A reasonable working estimate for these faster-moving Vilnius areas is about 8% to 12% annual price growth, while economy-class new housing in some districts has been reported close to 11% year-on-year.

The main driver is affordability pressure, because buyers who cannot afford Senamiestis, Užupis or Paupys are moving toward cheaper but improving districts with new projects, better transport and clearer resale demand.

What extra costs will I pay on top of the apartment price in Vilnius in 2026?

What are all the buyer closing costs when you buy an apartment in Vilnius?

The main buyer closing costs in Vilnius are notary work, Real Property Register registration, bank valuation, mortgage and pledge costs, legal review, translation or interpreter help, and sometimes a buyer-agent fee.

The largest extra cost is usually either the notary and mortgage process for a financed resale purchase, or the fit-out budget for a new-build apartment sold with partial finish.

Some Vilnius purchase costs are fixed or regulated, but legal fees, translation costs, buyer-agent fees, bank charges and fit-out costs can vary a lot between transactions.

On average, how much are buyer closing costs as a percentage of the purchase price for an apartment in Vilnius?

For a standard apartment in Vilnius, buyers should usually budget about 1.5% to 3.0% of the purchase price for closing costs if the buyer does not pay a separate buyer-agent commission.

A realistic low-to-high range for most Vilnius apartment transactions is about 1.0% to 5.0%, with cash buyers often near the low end and buyers using a mortgage, lawyer and buyer-agent support closer to the high end.
