  • Lithuania's new housing market remained active in the first half of the year, with buyers choosing from a wider selection.
  • YIT Lietuva sold 201 homes in the first six months of 2026, a slight decrease from 210 in the same period last year.
  • Vilnius has overtaken Kaunas in new housing sales, indicating a shift in buyer preference within the Lithuanian market.

Lithuania's new housing market saw sustained activity in the first half of 2026, offering buyers a broader range of choices. The sustainable urban development and construction company YIT Lietuva reported selling 201 homes during this period, a marginal decrease from the 210 units sold in the first half of 2025.

Despite the slight dip in sales volume for YIT Lietuva, the overall market trend indicates a robust demand. Vilnius has emerged as the leading city for new housing sales, surpassing Kaunas. This shift suggests a changing landscape in buyer preferences and potentially a concentration of development and investment in the capital city.

The market's dynamism is supported by an expanding supply, allowing buyers to be more selective. The figures from YIT Lietuva reflect a stable performance, aligning with their sales pace from the previous year, and underscoring the ongoing interest in new residential properties across Lithuania.
