    Has the Black Sea property crash hit the bottom?

    Nikita, your developer is taking you for a ride. Average building costs in Bulgaria are E350/m2, land not included. Because of the credit crunch you can get it even lower if you pay cash. Many private resellers and some developers would go for that price on completed, and even furnished...
