In my search for croation propertis online, so far all i found is european investment companies selling croation properties. So i was wondering if anyone knew of a strictly croation real estate web site where i can get a better idea of the market.

Completely useless, the market is a joke in this country, most (99 %) of the real estate agents try to rip you off as much as they can.
Cheapest solution is to buy land, design a house and build it yourself, it will probably save you 50 -75 % of the cost of buying an existing house.
If you do want to buy an existing house.................find yourself a Croatian who can do the buying for you. If anybody is going to succeed in getting a lower price it is a Croatian. As soon as they find out you are a foreigner you are history.

Try this: www.findcroatia.com/other/real_estate_croatia.htmor search on the word "nekretnine" which is croatian for property/ real estate. however be aware that many of the Croatian agents do not keep their sites up to date (some listings are years old) and agents steal properties from each other as a way of life. One (of the many) common trick is to steal someone else's photos and description from the web but lower the price so that when an interested buyer gets in touch attracted by the low price, they tell the buyer that the property has been sold and offer them some of the other things to which they do have access to the seller. So its actually quite difficult to achieve what you are looking for online. If you send me a PM with the actual area you are interested in, I'll give you details of a reputable estate agent covering that area (if I know of one!).

thanks for the links!
carol,
Im really not sure the exact place i want to live, however the most apealing seem to be krk, or split. Maybe you can help, what im really looking for is something with a decent amount of property that is very secluded. Prefrably close to the coast. my wife and i have 5 kids and need something fairly large. However i realize coast and property are probably few and far between. i would settle for just about any thing secluded but thats where my wife comes in.

if your budget is very limited, then you need to look away from coast where prices are significantly cheaper. Don't forget that there is new road network being built and what is currently a 45 min drive along windy roads will become a fast 15 or 20 minutes very soon. there are places in the mountains behind Split, with sea views which are 1/3 off the price they would be just a mile or two closer to the sea. Where you live will be driven by how you plan to make a living e.g if its tourism, then you need to be on the coast.

carol,
Behind split would be perfect and it sounds great, do you have any links for that area? My wife had asked me to ask, when she was crusin online she found a town that was composed of mostly vineyards and stone farm houses with a population of about 350. Do you know of any areas like that. Our plan is to make our own wine and sell it (nothing huge just enough to make a little extra money.) Also to grow our own herbs (ie: celantro, dill etc.)

was the area your wife is interested in called Sinj? Or maybe Klis? This is a link to some info about Sinj: www.dalmacija.net/sinj/sinj_1.htmHowever, the area I was thinking of as suitable for you was the villages above Podstrana e.g. Sitno Gornje. I will send you a priavte message with the details plus some hints about looking for property in Krk.

Going to be shocking now - I can also recommend Domus! We have worked with them extensively as they cover an interesting area around Vodice. We have found them to be professional, helpful and thorough! Only downside - they cover a fairly specific part of the coast. Don't know anything about how their UK link works but the Croatian site (has English option) seems pretty good.

We've just recently bought in an apartment in Croatia that we want to rent out. The estate agents were fantastic, they were so helpful. They have a UK rep that can help with any issues or questions you may have before you go, and show you current properties. Go to; www.domusproperty.co.ukLet me know how you get on with them!

Its all very fine this, theyve got an office in England so you can trust them etc etc. BUT who is paying for the office in England, the international phone calls business rates and taxes over there. The bloke that buys in Croatia is. With todays internet lifestyle, offices are becoming an expensive luxury. The office in England only sends gullible punters over to the proper office in Croatia and if the punter buys, then the English lot get a percentage from Croatia.
