Property prices in Tartu
Tartu is Estonia's second-largest apartment market, driven by the university and the university hospital: a steady inflow of students and specialists keeps even smaller apartments liquid. The price scale is wide — from Annelinn's panel buildings to the wooden houses of Karlova and Supilinn and the centre's new developments.
Developments around Raadi have brought plenty of new supply to the market in recent years, which shows in the statistics too. To pin down a specific apartment's value, start from the address: building type, condition, and neighbourhood matter more in Tartu than the city average.

Building stock
What kind of buildings people live in here
Annelinn is Tartu's largest panel-housing estate, built in the 1970s–1980s; its standardised apartments account for a large share of the city's transactions. Karlova, Supilinn, and Tähtvere offer heritage-valued wooden houses whose renovation has lifted local price levels markedly.
In the centre and Ülejõe, historical stone buildings stand beside new apartment blocks; a whole district's worth of developments has grown on and around the former Raadi airfield. The share of first sales keeps Tartu's median above the resale market.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about property in Tartu
How much does an apartment in Tartu cost?
The city's median price per square metre appears on this page when Land and Spatial Development Board statistics are available. Differences remain large: a standardised Annelinn apartment and a renovated Karlova wooden-house apartment trade at different levels. A free address query gives a sharper estimate.
Do Annelinn and city-centre prices differ much?
Yes — apartments in the centre and heritage areas trade clearly above Annelinn's panel stock. Annelinn's advantage is liquidity: many similar apartments sell, making price formation transparent.
How do I value a wooden-house apartment in Karlova?
For wooden houses, condition matters more than age: an apartment in a fully renovated building can trade at new-development levels. HindaAI uses building-registry data and nearby transactions; review the building's renovation history alongside the estimate.
Does student demand move prices?
Mostly in the small-apartment market: one- and two-room apartments are in constant demand from both buyers and investors in Tartu, keeping their price per square metre above larger units.
