Does anybody have any 'real info' about the property market here? Are prices rising? Are they falling? I live in Zagreb I want to know if my property will be worth more or less in 2,5.10 years than it is now

as far as i know, so far the prices have only been rising. what used to be price for square metre in DM is practicaly the same sum but in euros now. the prices have especially risen in the western suburbs, at least that's what i've been told.
i'm sure your property will be worth more in the future.

Noddy, do you know of any sites with local info? Even in Croatian? Seems like there is a real lack of knowledge.

Hi,
Myself and my husband visited Korcula in May this year and fell in love with the place. We are at present looking for to buy a property/holiday home. We would dearly love Korcula and although we have visited numerous websites we were looking for a "locals" view point on what to look for when buying property. There are a number of properties advertised at the moment [both in Korcula and in Dubrovnik - 2nd choice - ]that we are interested in. Can anyone give us some idea as to the best way to go about viewing, etc. Looking at homes as opposed to apartments. Thanks.

Hi owensyb
My wife and myself arrived in January here on Korcula, bought a property in February and have stayed here ever since. Yes you're right it's a wonderful place to visit and to live permanently as we do. We saw roughly 30 properties before we decided on which one to buy and used local agents who charged nothing to show us the properties. The agents who wanted to charge us money for showing us the properties we ignored. The agents we used were very helpful and the one we bought our property from even provided an after sale service included in his commision of 3% of the agreed price which he managed to negotiate to our favour, i.e. a realistic price. If you're interested, send me a PM and I'll intoduce you to them and you can take it from there.
All the best
Jan

There was always expectation for prices to go down, but in last 10 years they was only rising. |

Hi ROG
Yeah that's a little bit sad. A lot of the younger generation get priced out of the market as in the UK. I feel a bit guilty about that since I'm partly to blame.

Jan Yes ... actually such prices define real estate market (especially in Zagreb) as something between - insane and tragic. From selfish standpoint I could be happy and "cover myself with ears and shut up", because my apartment in Zagreb has doubled it's value in less then 5 years. But ... it is not fair. Prices are so hight because new apartments are not build. And difference between "building" and "selling" price is insane. Thank God I don't need to buy real estate now. |

In Istria building price is roughly 300 to 400 euro/m2........................selling price is 2000 to 3000 euro/m2.

Hi Jan. Seeing that you live in Korcula, did you by any chance use an English-speaking lawyer that you were impressed with. If so, could you possibly post his/her name and address/phone number. we have been put in touch with Croatian-only lawyers, which I don't think is ideal. Thanks.
