Buying In Croatia

The Croatian Property Market

Like almost every other country in Europe, Croatia has been affected by the recent property crisis and global recession. It is no surprise that property prices in most areas fell between 15% and 25% towards the end of 2008 and 2009. The country had hoped for accession into the E.U by 2010 but this looks more likely for 2012 due to the economic situation in other E.U countries such as Greece.

Despite the recent gloom of the previous 18 months the property market is beginning to pick up, especially in areas along the Adriatic coast. This recent recovery is largely down to the restrictions the Croatian government has placed on development along the coast and on the islands. Other reasons for this turnaround include an improvement in the buying process in an attempt to mirror E.U laws (which will be further enhanced as 2012 accession gets closer).

It is also worth noting that Croatia is still cheaper and less commercialized than other Mediterranean countries and is often referred to as "The Mediterranean as it once was".

Buying In Croatia

Buying in Croatia can often be a complicated and difficult procedure, especially when trying to find and build a property by yourself. However, this procedure is becoming more and more transparent due to Croatian law having to change in order to mirror those used by other E.U countries.
