“It is a well-known fact that foreigners buy every fifth property in Croatia. While Croats still dominate inland Croatia, along the coast, and in the islands, foreign investors have a large share of sales, mainly Germans, Austrians, Slovenes, Czechs, and Slovaks. “
Croatia – a country of safe rest
Natural beauties, islands, Mediterranean climate, and quality food sound like paradise and only a few hours from different parts of Europe. Most tourists who visit Croatia once come here regularly. Croatia offers a break from everyday life, a peaceful and safe environment, less stress, and a diverse natural environment. Many foreign tourists subsequently become property owners in Croatia. Owning your house or holiday apartment on the Croatian coast has become an excellent choice for those who love Croatia, want to spend more time here, and invest appropriately.
Easily accessible destination
Croatia has been a member of the European Union since 2013, located close to several EU member states. Croatia plans to adopt the EURO in 2023. It has a very well-established road and air infrastructure. Thanks to modern motorways and numerous airports located near major coastal towns such as Zadar, Split, and Dubrovnik in Dalmatia, you can travel to Croatia from different parts of Europe in just a few hours.
Real estate prices
Given that real estate prices in big cities are on an upward trend, real estate prices on the Adriatic are still acceptable to investors. Also, compared to other European countries, average real estate prices in Croatia are still slightly lower. This means that investors from all over Europe buy everything that Croatia offers them. Croatia is ideal for buyers who do not like risk and want to invest in something profitable.
Real estate as an investment
Europeans who buy real estate as an investment in Croatia most often do so by renting the exact property to tourists when they are not using it themselves. Modern villas or apartments with sea views are trendy. Croatia is considered a destination with great potential, in which real estate prices are constantly rising, and a significant increase in real estate prices is expected in the coming years.
Minimum barriers for foreign investors
Whether a country makes it easier for foreigners to engage in business is very important when investing in a foreign country’s economic environment. Croatia provides for the smooth establishment of companies. In contrast, the owner of a company in Croatia can be a natural person (EU citizen) or a legal entity (a company operating in the EU). With Croatia’s membership in the EU, all your business and investments are protected by international laws and EU regulations.
