Real Estate in Croatia
Last updated on Jun 05, 2023
Summary: An expat looking to buy a home in Croatia should begin by researching the local real estate market and familiarizing themselves with the different types of properties available. They should also consider their budget and the type of amenities they are looking for in a home. Homes in Croatia typically include amenities such as air conditioning, central heating, and modern appliances. Many homes also have balconies or terraces with views of the sea or countryside. Foreigners are allowed to purchase property in Croatia, but there are certain restrictions. Non-EU citizens must obtain a permit from the Ministry of Justice in order to purchase property. EU citizens are allowed to purchase property without a permit, but they must register the property with the local authorities.
How do I find a place to live in Croatia?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"The best way to find a place to live in Croatia is to research online. There are many websites that offer listings of apartments, houses, and other types of accommodation in Croatia. Additionally, you can contact local real estate agents who can help you find a suitable place to live. You can also look for rental postings in local newspapers and on bulletin boards in public places. Additionally, you can ask friends and family who live in Croatia for advice and recommendations," explained one person living in Croatia.
