Real Estate Market Shifts: New Horizon for International Investors
Zagreb, donderdag, 26 juni 2025.
The international real estate market is undergoing a profound transformation, with traditional hotspots like the Croatian coast being replaced by emerging destinations. Countries such as Albania and the United Arab Emirates are gaining attractiveness due to favourable prices and new investment opportunities. In Albanian coastal areas, properties are available for less than 2,000 euros per square metre, while Dubai is evolving from an exclusive to a mainstream real estate market. This shift is driven by price increases, changing living conditions, and the search for profitable and affordable investment locations. International investors are reorienting their strategies and discovering new markets with promising perspectives.
Shift in Real Estate Investments
The international real estate market is experiencing a profound transformation, with traditional destinations being replaced by new, promising locations. The focus is shifting from the Croatian coast to countries like Albania and the United Arab Emirates [1]. Twenty years after its heyday, Croatia is no longer one of the four most popular destinations for real estate investors [1].
New Attractive Markets
In Albanian coastal areas, investors can find properties for less than 2,000 euros per square metre, a unique offering in Europe [1]. Dubai is transforming from an exclusive luxury market to a mainstream real estate destination [1]. This shift is driven by significant price increases and changing living conditions [1].
Strategic Reorientation
International investors are reconsidering their real estate strategies and seeking markets with better return opportunities. The well-organised real estate market, tax-free environment, and strong rental potential make new destinations particularly attractive [1].
