All articles →CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — October 2026
The board barely moved: twenty-one of twenty-nine markets are unchanged, and the three that crossed two points did so because our own readings changed, not because anything happened in those markets. The top is now a three-way tie — Estonia 74.6, Poland 74.3, Slovenia 74.3 — with three tenths of a point between first and third.
CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — September 2026
The Score did not move: no market changed by even half a point, and Estonia edged past Poland into #1 by 0.20 — inside the noise. What moved was the cost of money, and in opposite directions: New Zealand and Korea raised, Israel cut, Canada held, and 12-month Euribor crossed 3%. House prices rose in 25 of the 27 markets we can price for 2025, led by Hungary at +18.3%; only Canada and New Zealand fell.

Market Review — Rijeka
Rijeka is Croatia's third-largest city and a European Capital of Culture (2020). The port city offers significantly lower prices than coastal resort towns while providing year-round rental demand from its university and maritime economy. Korzo, Trsat, and Kantrida are emerging investment areas. Rijeka's improving infrastructure and proximity to Istrian beaches add growth potential.
