Croatia makes it into Top 20 Best Global Real Estate Buys for 2009

Accompanying April's article "Is Now the Time to Buy Global Property", BusinessWeek includes a slideshow of 2009's Best Global Real Estate buys, featuring Croatia as the one to watch. London branch editor Mark Scott recommends Croatia & Montenegro "for the laid-back lifestyle of Italy, but at a fraction of the cost". It's rivaling location on the opposing shore of the sun swept Adriatic, together with it's pristine beaches, picturesque sea-side towns and historical ports render it a major contender for the affections of the many mediterranean thrill seekers, sun worshippers and cultural explorers that flock to this area of europe each year. The above coupled with it's lower property prices and far more reasonable cost of living mean that as far as investors are concerned, Croatia quite literally blows Italy out of the Adriatic waters.
