Property in Croatia

Croatia, located on the picturesque Adriatic coast, is famous for its historic cities, numerous islands, and national parks. Foreign buyers and tourists visit the region throughout the year to enjoy cultural attractions, sea resorts and ski destinations. Due to its stable economy, EU membership, and relatively affordable property prices in Croatia, this country is becoming increasingly popular with investors and those looking for holiday and permanent accommodation.

The market offers a variety of options, each with its own features and advantages:

  • Flats in modern and historical buildings. Apartment layouts often include kitchen-dining rooms, living rooms, several bedrooms and bathrooms. Some units come with balconies, storage rooms, laundry rooms and dressing rooms.
  • Houses in Croatia. Most of these properties are in coastal locations, although there are offers within city limits too. You'll find historic stone buildings with wooden shutters, tiled roofs, beamed ceilings, and spacious open terraces. There's also a large selection of modern, minimalist mansions. Some houses feature swimming pools, gardens, gyms, and living rooms with fireplaces.

There's a wide choice of historic buildings, modern complexes and properties under construction. New projects often come with private protected areas, swimming pools, public recreation areas and car parks. Currently, there's high demand for small complexes on the seafront. Most new buildings are in the Kvarner region, on the island of Krk, as well as in the Dalmatia region: on the islands of Brac and Hvar, Makarska Riviera, and Rogoznica.

When it comes to prices of properties in Croatia for investment coastal towns command higher prices due to their proximity to the sea and tourist attractions.

Destinations with good infrastructure and relatively easy access to airports are particularly attractive. Among foreigners, the most popular places to buy are Dubrovnik, Split, Opatija, Istria and the islands of Hvar and Brac.

Reasons for investing in property in Croatia

Croatia has high investment potential due to its strategic location on the Adriatic coast, stable economy, and EU membership. The tourism industry is one of the key sectors, ensuring constant demand for rental accommodation.

The region is actively developing its infrastructure and attracting international investment, driving up prices and returns on investment. In the second quarter of 2023, property values in Croatia, particularly in Zagreb, increased by an average of 14%. On the Adriatic coast, prices rose by 12.8% and in other localities by 17.7%.

Buyers can use flats and houses for their own residence or for renting out. Croatia is an attractive holiday destination, especially during the summer months in resort areas. The tourism sector continued to strengthen in 2023, with the number of foreign visitors increasing by 9.4% to 15.6 million compared to 2022. Expats working in various industries, including tourism, IT, and construction, are moving to the country for permanent residence. Students studying at universities are also renting long-term accommodation.

Getting investment real estate in Croatia is profitable, with average returns reaching 4.6% per annum. In the sought-after cities of Zagreb, Rijeka and Split, the returns are 4.9%, 4.6% and 4.1% per annum respectively.

The market for properties under construction shows significant potential due to growing demand for new housing. Investing in off-plan projects allows for substantial returns due to value increases as they're completed. In the first half of 2023, the number of modern properties sold increased by 25.9% to 2,353 units compared to the same period last year. Reselling apartments and villas can be lucrative, especially with increased demand in popular tourist and urban areas.
