According to the Agency for Entering Bulgaria from 2005 to June 2016 property in Bulgaria has acquired 74 000 Russians, according to the portal "Russian Bulgaria" with reference to the edition of "Club Z".

The total number of buyers from Russia, entered in the register "BULSTAT" includes both natural and legal persons. This number can be added about 10 000 Russians have purchased property in Bulgaria through a registered company in the country (but these citizens are no officially published statistics), the Russian Bulgaria. Thus, property owners in Bulgaria are about 84 000 Russians.

The number of Russians who have bought property in Bulgaria remains a favorite topic of the media and public. So, in 2014, the Financial Times wrote about 400 000 Russian owners of real estate in Bulgaria. And in the beginning of 2016 at the General Consulate of Russia in Varna was announced about 500,000 Russians who have bought property in Eastern Bulgaria. "Russian Bulgaria" considers that this data has little in common with the real situation. Thus, according to the National statistics Institute (INE) on 31 December 2015, housing three popular among buyers of housing areas consisted of only 639 085 housing units: 283 356 had in Burgas province, 252 232 – 101 487 and Varna – Dobrich.
