Serbia continues to attract both local and foreign investors due to its stable real estate market and attractive living conditions. In 2024, housing prices remain one of the most discussed topics due to high demand and limited supply, especially in the capital city of Belgrade.
Housing prices in Belgrade continue to rise. In popular central areas such as Vračar, the Old Town and New Belgrade, the cost per square meter ranges from 3,000 to 5,000 euros. In the less prestigious and more remote areas, prices range from 1,500 to 2,800 euros per square meter, making them more affordable for young families and those looking for budget options.
In Novi Sad and Nis, other major cities in Serbia, the cost of housing remains stable: a square meter costs an average of 1,400-1,800 euros, and in some suburbs prices can drop to 900-1,000 euros.
Serbia remains an attractive destination for citizens of many countries. Convenient location, a simplified process of obtaining a residence permit and an affordable cost of living – all this attracts new buyers to the real estate market. There is a shortage of housing in Belgrade, especially in prestigious areas. This stimulates the growth of prices for secondary housing and increases the cost of apartments under construction. Improved transport accessibility, construction of new schools and shopping centers make certain areas more popular, which also contributes to price growth.
Vera Egorova-Tolstaja, an expert at the Belgrade real estate agency Vidovstan, notes that in 2025 the real estate market in Serbia will continue to show growth, although the pace may slow down. According to her, the main forecasts include moderate price growth, an increase in new construction and continued high interest in Serbian real estate from foreign buyers. According to the expert, increased competition between construction companies will lead to more affordable options in the economy class segment.
For those planning to buy a home in 2025, it is important to consider the following recommendations. First, set a budget and take into account all additional costs: taxes, notary services, and agent commissions. Second, research the market and compare prices in different neighborhoods. Third, seek professional help: the services of realtors or legal advisors will help you avoid mistakes. Finally, consider new buildings, as buying a home under construction can be a profitable investment.
The real estate market in Serbia in 2025 is showing steady growth, remaining attractive to investors and new residents of the country. Despite rising prices, Serbia offers a variety of housing options suitable for different categories of buyers. If you are planning a relocation or investment, now is a good time to choose a property while the market is still in the process of forming new opportunities.
