Market Review — Zagreb
Zagreb is Croatia's capital and an underpriced market compared to the Adriatic coast. Average prices of €2,800–4,000/sqm are well below Dubrovnik or Split, while LTR yields of 4.5–6% benefit from a growing population of 800,000 and Croatia's 2023 Eurozone entry which eliminated currency risk for EUR-denominated investors.
Croatia's flat 10% CGT (12% from 2024) applies only if sold within 10 years, and rental income is taxed at 12%. Foreign EU citizens face no buying restrictions; non-EU buyers need reciprocity agreements. As an EU/Eurozone member since 2023, Croatia offers regulatory stability and freedom of capital movement.
Key considerations: Zagreb's appeal is primarily LTR-driven — the city lacks the coastal tourism that drives STR yields in Dubrovnik/Split. However, the Advent in Zagreb (December) and growing conference tourism provide seasonal STR upside. Earthquake reconstruction (post-2020) has improved building stock quality in the center. For Israeli investors, Zagreb is a 3-hour flight with increasing direct connections.
