But what will the year 2025 bring us?
Key trends and strategies shape the real estate market, and below we present the most important insights and tips for successful investing.
1. Tourist real estate: Inexhaustible potential
The coast of Croatia continues to attract millions of tourists every year. In 2025, short-term rental properties, luxury villas and boutique hotels will continue to be in high demand. With the growing interest in authentic experiences, investing in the renovation of stone houses and their transformation into luxury accommodation units will represent a golden opportunity.
How to succeed?
The focus should be on attractive destinations and look for properties with additional value, such as sea views, historical charm or proximity to natural beauty.
2. Urban revitalization and infrastructural leap
The development of urban centers and the revitalization of historic cores are becoming increasingly popular among investors, and larger cities are not only experiencing population growth, but also becoming centers of technological and business innovation.
Key strategies would be to monitor renovation projects and infrastructure plans to identify areas with the greatest potential for growth, and invest in real estate in city centers with a view to long-term returns.
3. Green investment: Real estate of the future
Sustainability is more than a trend – it has become a key factor in the real estate sector. Investors are increasingly turning to "green" projects that use renewable energy sources and reduce the negative impact on the environment.
The recommendation is to choose energy-efficient buildings with innovative solutions such as solar panels and heat pumps, and follow regulations and subsidies related to sustainability in order to maximize profits.
4. PropTech: Digital transformation of real estate
Technology is rapidly changing the real estate market. PropTech tools such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are becoming essential in market analysis, property management and smart decision making.
We will take advantage of such technology by investing in digital tools for real estate management and analysis, as well as by considering platforms that improve efficiency and reduce costs with automation.
5. Remote work: Change in customer priorities
The rise of telecommuting is changing the demand for real estate. People are now looking for spacious homes away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with natural surroundings and extra space to work from home.
The focus should be on properties in the suburbs and rural areas, but with good transport links, and houses with gardens, terraces and additional rooms for home offices, which will be in particular demand.

Whether we decide on tourist facilities, urban revitalization or green projects, the key to success lies in understanding the local market and adapting strategies.
