Montenegro, Investments in the field of real estate that left a mark in 2022.

Supported byOwner's Engineer banner

The real estate market in Montenegro has been very dynamic for a long time. Last year was no exception. They worked and built from south to north, without exception. New squares and residential complexes have sprung up and are springing up all over the country, numerous investments and projects have been announced.

What marked the year behind us was certainly the jump in prices when it comes to this market. Rising inflation spilled over to the real estate sector, and price increases that began during the coronavirus pandemic continued. Monstat data for the third quarter of last year show that the market price of an apartment in a new building in the third quarter was EUR 1,446 and is 20.2% higher than in the same period in 2021, when it was EUR 1,203. The data also show that the square meters are the most expensive in Podgorica, so the price was EUR 1,469, which is 24.2% more than in the third quarter of last year, when a square meter cost EUR 1,182.

These are official statistics, and the situation on the ground shows that the prices per square meter of apartments in Montenegro range from EUR 1,600 in a new building in Podgorica to EUR 8,000 in the Ski Center in Bjelasica. When it comes to the coast, in Budva, for example, the average price per square meter of an apartment is 2,100 EUR, but it can go up to 7,000 EUR. The same situation is in Boka.

Last year there was a significant disruption when it comes to renting out apartments, and the war in Ukraine and the arrival of a significant number of foreigners, especially Russians and Ukrainians, led to a double increase in rental prices. This is especially pronounced on the coast and in Podgorica, so studio apartments in the capital are rented for 350 EUR, while one-bedroom apartments go for up to 900 EUR. Similar prices are in Budva, but also in other coastal cities.

However, despite these prices, there seems to be no crisis for investors in the real estate sector. The demand is still far greater than the supply, everything that is built is sold, and in the most attractive locations, sales occur even before the completion of construction works. The increased interest of foreigners certainly contributed to this, and the data that the inflow of foreign direct investments exceeded one billion by the end of November last year also supports this. Of that, EUR 410.37 million was invested in real estate, which is 67% more than last year. In this segment, investors from Germany once again led the way, investing EUR 66.3 million in real estate. Russians bought real estate in Montenegro with a value of EUR 55.16 million, while Serbia is in third place with an investment of EUR 47.36 million.
The segment of the market that we must mention, which has been intensively developing for 15 years, is luxurious real estate. The complexes being developed in Boka – Porto Montenegro, Luštica Bay and Portonovi have a significant influence on the growth of this market, so more than 2 billion EUR have been invested in projects on the coast alone. The economic citizenship program “revived” the north of the country, so the construction of a large number of condo hotels began in Kolašin. This has also attracted other investors, so numerous residential and business buildings are being built, as well as numerous tourist settlements with facilities for renting out and selling units.

What is a new trend in Montenegro, and in the entire region, is the increasingly intensive construction of resorts. Experts from the real estate sector believe that the construction of classic buildings is becoming a thing of the past, while the construction of settlements with numerous additional facilities is becoming a trend that investors themselves will have to follow.

That this is indeed the case is also shown by our list of investments, where the readers paid the most attention to the construction of such objects.
