Croatia: A Second Home by the Sea and an Investment Opportunity

Since the introduction of the euro in 2023, the Croatian luxury real estate market has seen significant growth in demand from international clients, accompanied by an increase in the volume of sales transactions. “Buyers are increasingly placing emphasis on secure buys and reliable real estate agents. With the arrival of leading international companies, the local property market has become more professional and has turned into an internationally trusted space,” says Tom Lindner, international property consultant at Svoboda & Williams.

In terms of accessibility, Czech clients have long been interested in Istria and the Zadar area. “Each of Croatia’s regions has its own specific characteristics. In Istria, you can rely on high-quality infrastructure and a stable demand. Thanks to its proximity to Slovenia and Italy, it’s one of the most liquid areas in terms of sales and rentals. Dalmatia, on the other hand, offers higher seasonal returns thanks to its strong tourism industry and longer summer season,” says Lindner, assessing buyers’ opportunities.

Svoboda & Williams’ offer includes elegant apartments in Opatija and Dubrovnik, as well as new-build prestigious villas in the most sought-after resorts on both the mainland and islands.
