We wrote extensively about the procedure of buying a property in Croatia if you are a foreigner<\/a>. For the purpose of this article, we will solely mention key things we deem might be important for you.<\/p>\n Firstly, you need to know that there is a lot of demand for property in Croatia, especially on the Croatian coast. That isn\u2019t surprising considering that Croatia is most known for its beautiful Adriatic Sea, numerous and easily assessable islands, great food and cordial people.<\/p>\n Real estate on the coast, close to the sea but also important amenities, with sea view, are the one\u2019s buyers seek the most. Therefore, there is a lot of construction going on currently on such locations. When it comes to islands (we have more than a thousand of those!) the most desirable ones are those that are very well connected to the mainland.<\/p>\n If immediate vicinity to the sea is not amongst your high priorities, but fresh air, silence and nature are, you might want to consider Dalmatia\u2019s hinterland.<\/p>\n Secondly, buying a property in Croatia could be a pretty smart investment. Croatia\u2019s popularity as tourist destination is growing by the minute. Efforts are being done to make it a year-round tourist destination. All these thing affect the value of the property, especially luxury property on an exquisite location<\/a>.<\/p>\n Finally, if you are looking to buy property in Croatia, be sure to contact a verified and competent real estate agent (agency).

Demand for property there is great, both on the seaside and in the hinterland \u2013 in small, picturesque hilltop towns. Istrian lifestyle, gastronomy (truffles, olive oil, cheese) and architecture has a very specific appeal that is hard to resist to.<\/p>\n From there we move to Kvarner (island of Krk is one of favourite vacation destinations for families), and from Kvarner to Dalmatia.<\/p>\n Dalmatia, region of sea and salt, long history and natural beauties, home of winds \u201cbura\u201d (cold, clean northeast wind) and \u201cjugo\u201d (warm, southeast wind that \u201cclouds\u201d almost every Dalmatian\u2019s judgement), roughness and beauty at the same time.<\/p>\n This region is large and divided into Northern<\/a>, Middle and Southern Dalmatia.<\/p>\n Cities of Zadar (one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world, according to famous Alfred Hitchcock \u2013 and us!), \u0160ibenik<\/a>, Trogir, Split and Dubrovnik, as well as islands of Bra\u010d, Hvar, Vis (part of Mamma Mia! 2 took place there), Kor\u010dula are some of the most desired destinations.<\/p>\n Yes, there is a lot of history, culture, happenings, beaches, rosemary scent and fig trees there that can dazzle you into buying a property in Croatia right away.<\/p>\n But, be sure to explore some other not so well-known towns in Dalmatia. Both on the coast and on islands, depending on your needs and wants.<\/p>\n This is where a good real estate agent comes in very handy!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n All of Croatia is beautiful, not just its coast. Croatia\u2019s inland has a lot to offer from natural beauty, peace and quiet, tasteful, locally produced food, cultural and historical riches, castles and fortifications, cheerful and hospital people.<\/p>\n If you want more space and maybe a bigger garden of your own. If you enjoy a river or a lake, rural property for sale in Croatia might be a concept for research.<\/p>\n And, do we need to mention that rural property for sale in Croatia is way less expensive than property on the coast?<\/p>\n If you are looking for more rural type of property, this is just a glimpse of what you should explore.<\/p>\n Starting from the east of Croatia, meet Slavonia<\/a>, land of tradition, where the locals will welcome you with open arms. Then dive into the peaceful and full of forests\u00a0 Central Croatia<\/a> and just before you hit the sea, make a stop at Lika<\/a>, a region with highest concentration of national and natural parks.<\/p>\n Of course, you don\u2019t have to go far away from the coast to find more rural type of property in Croatia for sale.

There is a lot of politics involved in certain decisions and some actions take more time than they should. It can be annoying, but things are changing.<\/p>\n We are developing, investing in infrastructure, in sustainability.<\/p>\n Yes, some destinations can get crowded from July till August.
