Yerevan rents remain high amid Russian arrivals as Tbilisi market stabilises
Euronews reports two-room flats renting for €800–900 in Yerevan. In Georgia, rents have broadly stabilised after an earlier surge.
In Yerevan, Armenia, two-room flats rent for €800–900 amid demand linked to Russian arrivals, Euronews reported on 13 October. In Tbilisi, Georgia, rents have broadly stabilised after a summer peak, according to the same report. For renters, the figures point to continuing pressure in Yerevan but a different recent trend in Georgia.
What September rental reports showed
Agents interviewed by Meduza in September estimated that Yerevan rents were 30–50% above their level at the start of 2026 and put a central two-room apartment at about $1,000. Tbilisi agents then described stronger demand, including flats priced at $800–900 that had rented for $600–700 a year earlier. These are local examples and agent estimates, not citywide rent indices.
Euronews also cited Armenian Cadastre Committee figures showing Yerevan apartment prices up 23.5% year on year in August. That figure measures sale prices, not rents. Russian fears of mobilisation are a reported explanation for some arrivals, but the reporting does not establish how much of the rental pressure they caused.
