What does the agricultural land price barometer show?

The prices per hectare ASKED by sellers for agricultural land outside the built-up area, aggregated by county and locality from sale offers published under Law 17/2014 (the MADR portal and DAJ notices), which Verifi collects periodically. We publish only aggregates: the p25-p75 range, the median and the number of eligible observations, never individual offers or seller data.

Why do you say “asking prices”, not sale prices?

Because that is what they are: the price in the offer the seller publishes at the local authority before the sale, under Law 17/2014. The price at which the transaction actually concludes may differ and does not appear in this source. The only official transaction price statistics, published by INS, are annual, cover 8 development regions and appear with a long delay; the barometer is live, monthly and locality-level, but measures price intentions, not transactions.

How often is the data updated?

Offers are collected through scheduled runs, and aggregates are recalculated after the sources are updated. Each county displays the date when its data was last observed. If an update is delayed, the latest verified data remains displayed, together with its date.

Why are some counties or localities missing?

We publish a county only if it has at least 10 eligible observations with a usable price, and a locality only from 10 observations upwards, so the median is not effectively the price of one or a few sellers. The absence of an aggregate is explicitly shown.

How do I find the minimum notarial value for a specific plot?

The barometer shows market asking prices. The minimum value in the notarial valuation grid, the basis for notarial charges, is calculated specifically for your plot in the Verifi report, at the final price of 99 RON, while the land report also includes comparable prices from the area around the parcel.

Asking prices for agricultural land, county by county

Înainte de orice vânzare de teren agricol extravilan, oferta se publică obligatoriu, cu preț, conform Legii 17/2014. Verifi colectează periodic aceste oferte din portalul MADR și de la direcțiile agricole județene și le agregă aici: banda tipică (p25 - p75), mediana și numărul de observații eligibile, în RON pe hectar, pe județe și pe localități. Sunt prețuri cerute de vânzători, nu prețuri de tranzacționare. Datele sunt publice, descărcabile în JSON și CSV, citabile cu link (licență CC BY-NC 4.0).

Controlled pilot

Interested in the asking price history of a parcel?

Verifi retains the price changes, status changes and republications it observes in public sources. We are building a pilot that conservatively links these events to the correct parcel. Registration does not guarantee that every parcel has already been resolved, and a removed offer does not mean the land has been sold.

Asking prices by county

The typical range is the p25 - p75 interval: the middle half of the asking prices per hectare in the county, after removing clearly erroneous values. Each county has its own page with a breakdown by locality.

The same county, prices several times apart

There is no single “land price in county X”: asking prices differ severalfold between communes in the same county. That is why the barometer goes down to locality level.

In Brașov, the middle half of offers ranges from 37.662 RON/ha to 524.760 RON/ha, a ratio of 13,9 times, within the same county (91 de eligible observations).
In Cluj, the middle half of offers ranges from 20.172 RON/ha to 261.392 RON/ha, a ratio of 13 times, within the same county (258 de eligible observations).
In Sălaj, the middle half of offers ranges from 10.215 RON/ha to 123.187 RON/ha, a ratio of 12,1 times, within the same county (104 eligible observations).

How to read the data (methodology)

Source: MADR / Sale offers portal under Law 17/2014 (RCT register), supplemented for a few counties by notices from county agricultural directorates (DAJ). Verifi has collected offers periodically since May 2026. Law 17/2014 requires an offer to sell agricultural land outside the built-up area to be published with a price before the sale, so that pre-emption rights can be exercised.
Asking prices, not transaction prices: The barometer measures the price in published offers: the seller's price intention, by which the seller is generally bound in relation to pre-emption right holders under the Law 17/2014 procedure. The price at which the transaction actually concludes may differ and does not appear in this source. For transaction prices, INS statistics are published annually across 8 development regions, with a delay of more than a year; the barometer is live and locality-level, but measures something different.
Why the p25 - p75 range and error filtering: The price per hectare is calculated from the offer's total price and area. Clearly erroneous values (entry errors, such as prices per square metre entered as prices per hectare) are removed before calculation. Offers with a partial ownership share or an ambiguous share format are excluded from the percentiles until the actual area offered is verified. We publish the p25 - p75 interquartile range and median, not the raw minimum and maximum, which would place a parcel near a town alongside an isolated one.
Publication thresholds: A county appears only with at least 10 eligible priced observations; a locality (UAT), only from 10 observations upwards. Below these thresholds, the aggregate would effectively be the price of one or a few sellers, and we never publish individual offers or seller data. Locality names are canonicalised against the official SIRUTA nomenclature, and offers listed under a village name are assigned to the commune.
Coverage and limitations: Not all counties have active offers at every point in time; today we publish structured prices for 41 de județe. The MADR portal may lag a few weeks behind physical notices at local authorities. This is a barometer of current supply, not a statistical index: the data series begins in May 2026, so we do not yet publish year-on-year changes.

Frequently asked questions

What does the agricultural land price barometer show?: The prices per hectare ASKED by sellers for agricultural land outside the built-up area, aggregated by county and locality from sale offers published under Law 17/2014 (the MADR portal and DAJ notices), which Verifi collects periodically. We publish only aggregates: the p25-p75 range, the median and the number of eligible observations, never individual offers or seller data.
