Real Estate in Estonia
Last updated on Mar 21, 2023
Summary: An expat looking to buy a home in Estonia should begin by researching the local real estate market. They should look for listings on websites such as kv.ee, city24.ee, and realtor.ee. It is also important to contact a local real estate agent who can provide more detailed information about the area and the properties available. Homes in Estonia typically include amenities such as central heating, modern appliances, and internet access. Many homes also have balconies or terraces, and some may have a garden or outdoor space. Foreigners are allowed to purchase property in Estonia, but there are some restrictions. Non-EU citizens must obtain a residence permit before they can purchase a property. EU citizens are allowed to purchase property without a residence permit.
How do I find a place to live in Estonia?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Estonia is to use online resources such as websites and real estate agents. Websites such as kv.ee and city24.ee are great for finding rental properties, while real estate agents can help you find a place to buy. Additionally, you can search for rental properties on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. It is also possible to find a place to live through word of mouth, so don't be afraid to ask around. Finally, you can also look for rental properties in newspapers and magazines," said one expat who made the move to Estonia.
