Korcula Known as the birth-place of Marco Polo, this town has been
justly called "a little Dubrovnik" due to its picturesque squares and medieval
atmosphere. Old stone houses in the Korcula old town were the first to have
found buyers and many of them are now being refurnished to small hotels and
villas. |

Split - Dalmatian regional centre 1700-year-old city located in the
heart of Central Dalmatia. It is known for the very well-preserved palace of the
Roman Caesar Diocletian which nowadays presents historical centre of the town.
There are several hotel developments and apartment village developments in and
around Split. The most sought after properties are located inside the palace
walls and are subject to high demand.

Primošten, Šibenik, Zadar, Brač etc. |

Zagreb is the political and business centre of Croatia. Real estate
market is showing huge growth over last couple of years. Over 300.000 m2 of
office space, over 100.000 m2 of shopping malls were built and more than 10000
flats. On office space yields are still on 2-digit numbers but are stabilizing.
One can still feel the lack of quality housing and some analysis show that there
are 50,000 flats missing in this moment. Apart from the local demand for new houses,
there is a demand from expatriates and international executives for houses and
apartments to let. |
Consiliator is the exclusive agent for one of the hottest properties in Split
and Croatia, the house of famous tennis player Goran Ivanišević in Split and his
summer house on the island of Brač.
In all hotspots Consiliator is present either with its own office or with the
partner network and can assist you in any business related to real estate.
For property developers there are substantial opportunities available in the
tourism sector with high demand for quality hotel accommodation. For those
hoping to profit from maximum short term capital gains on real estate, there's
the potential to purchase off plan or finished properties and flip upon
completion by reselling to the waiting holiday and second home market.
Alternatively for those hoping to derive an income from their real estate
investments there's the potential to let out units to the tourism market
(Dalmatia, Istria), the local market and also the expatriate market (Zagreb and
Split mostly).
The banking sector is stable and over 90% in the hands of large foreign banks
and property financing is announced to be available for foreigners in the near
future.
