Croatia, with more coastline than any other European country, hides some of the most exquisite real estate in the world. A powerful trend is underway. Tourists are returning. Property prices are rising. The future looks bright. Now is the time to pay attention to this market, where you could double or triple the value of your real estate investment dollars in a short window. The long term could be even more promising.
We think you should seriously consider Croatia…as a gorgeous place to visit, a smart spot to buy an investment property, and a world-class locale to shop for a bargain coastal getaway. The potential for gains in property value in Croatia is great in both the short and the long term because it’s seriously under-priced today.
Though Dubrovnik isn’t dirt-cheap, it’s by no means expensive, either. Compared with cities in Western Europe or the U.S., it’s a good deal. And it has everything the tourist could hope for: history, architecture, coastline, and those remarkable city walls. Indeed, Croatia has beaches to rival those of Spain’s Costa del Sol and the French Riviera, and, we’re told, the best waters for sailing in all the Med (well, technically, you’d be sailing the Adriatic Sea).
Before the civil war of the 1990s, which brought about the breakup of the former Yugoslav republics, a half-million British tourists visited Croatia each year. In the years since the conflict ended, that number has edged its way back up, but today stands at only a quarter of what it was in this country’s tourism heyday. In other words, there’s a long way to go in the right direction. And now is the time to stake your investment claim, in real estate or any tourist-related business. The short-term rental market will surely grow with the number of returning tourists.
