Tallinn flat prices up 96% in ten years, while Narva is cheaper than in 2015
In 2015 the median Tallinn apartment deal was €1,460 per m². In 2025 it was €2,866. That is +96.3% in ten years, measured on more than 8,800 registered purchases in each year.
These are real deal prices from the Estonian Land and Spatial Development Board (Maa- ja Ruumiamet), not asking prices from ads.
Ten years of Tallinn deals
| Period | Median deal price, €/m² | Deals (n) |
|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 1,460 | 8,807 |
| 2020 | 2,056 | 8,905 |
| 2021 | 2,225 | 10,926 |
| 2023 | 2,905 | 8,581 |
| 2024 | 2,841 | 8,420 |
| 2025 | 2,866 | 9,102 |
| Q3 2026 (one quarter) | 2,949 | 2,312 |
Over five years, 2020 to 2025, the rise is +39.4%.
The 2023 peak still stands, year on year
The 2023 median, €2,905/m², is still the high point on an annual basis. Prices eased to €2,841 in 2024 and recovered only part of the way to €2,866 in 2025.
2026 is moving up. In Q3 2026 the median deal reached €2,949/m² (n=2,312), 3.4% above Q3 2025 (€2,851, n=2,383). A single quarter is not a full year, so the fair comparison with 2023 comes when the 2026 annual figure is published.
Pärnu and Tartu grew faster than the capital
| Municipality | 2015, €/m² | 2025, €/m² | Change | Deals 2015 / 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pärnu linn | 805 | 2,014 | +150.0% | 844 / 873 |
| Tartu linn | 1,136 | 2,434 | +114.3% | 1,810 / 1,961 |
| Tallinn | 1,460 | 2,866 | +96.3% | 8,807 / 9,102 |
| Narva linn | 462 | 412 | −11.0% | 669 / 778 |
| Sillamäe linn | 309 | 252 | −18.3% | 175 / 251 |
Pärnu started from a much lower base and is now at two and a half times its 2015 level. Tartu more than doubled.
Narva went the other way. Its median flat deal was €412/m² in 2025 against €462/m² in 2015. Nearby Sillamäe fell 18.3%. Of all Estonian municipalities with at least 100 apartment deals in both 2015 and 2025, these two are the only ones where the median went down.
Inside Tallinn: Haabersti and Põhja-Tallinn led the decade
| District | Change 2015 to 2025 | Deals 2015 / 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Haabersti | +118.8% (€1,407 to €3,078) | 854 / 1,283 |
| Põhja-Tallinn | +114.3% (€1,438 to €3,082) | 1,542 / 1,495 |
| Kesklinn | +81.6% (€2,004 to €3,638) | 1,896 / 1,713 |
| Pirita | +74.5% | 205 / 199 |
Haabersti and Põhja-Tallinn both more than doubled and now sit side by side at about €3,080/m². Kesklinn is still higher in euros, but it grew more slowly from its higher starting point, and Pirita grew the least of the four.
Lasnamäe remains the most affordable of the large districts at €2,331/m² in 2025 (n=1,888).
How to read these numbers
- A median covers every apartment purchase in the period, new and old flats together. When more new builds are sold, the median rises even if no single flat got dearer.
- Deal prices are what buyers actually paid. Asking prices in ads run higher; our Tallinn asking vs deal prices report measures that gap.
- Have a price in mind? The deal price check compares it with official deal ranges by district, building age and size.
