How do you foresee your market in 2024 and beyond? What is the probable price growth, arrival of new projects, buyer profile and nationality changes etc?
In 2024 and beyond, the Montenegrin luxury real estate market is poised to elevate Montenegro as a destination to the next level, not only demand-wise but with the product offerings. We anticipate sustained demand driven by several factors, including the country’s growing popularity as a premier destination for luxury living, investment opportunities, and lifestyle experiences.
Price growth is expected to remain robust, fueled by increasing demand from both domestic and international buyers seeking premium properties along the stunning Adriatic coastline. On the other end, most significant movements in the high-end real estate market have been noticed in the North of the country with the development of premium ski resort properties. Both the traditionally developed coastal market and the emerging projects in the North are absolutely competitive with the most exclusive Christie’s destinations around the globe. Montenegro’s favorable tax environment and burgeoning tourism sector further contribute to its appeal among high-net-worth individuals seeking second homes or investment opportunities. The arrival of new projects is anticipated, as developers capitalize on the demand for luxury residences and resortstyle amenities. These developments are likely to offer a mix of contemporary villas, upscale condominiums, and exclusive gated communities, catering to diverse buyer preferences and lifestyles. As for buyer profiles and nationality changes, we foresee a continuation of the trend where Montenegro attracts a diverse mix of investors and lifestyle buyers from around the globe. While traditional markets such as Western Europe and CIS remain significant, we anticipate an increasing interest from emerging markets in Asia, the Middle East, and North America.
Additionally, there’s a growing interest among environmentally conscious buyers seeking sustainable and eco-friendly properties, reflecting a broader global shift towards responsible luxury living

What are some key insights and your tips of areas or property types which potential buyers should be aware of for future potential growth?
Emerging Locations: Keep an eye on emerging areas beyond established hotspots. Emerging destinations, both in the coastal area and in the North offer significant potential for growth due to ongoing infrastructure development and planned luxury projects. As an example, a premium ski resort in the North currently offers 45 km of ski trails which will become 141 km in the pipeline of several years, clearly showing the growth potential of this product.
Waterfront and Ski-in ski-out Properties: These properties with such distinctive positions typically retain their value and demonstrate strong appreciation over time.
Impeccable views: Properties gaining popularity, compared to waterfront ones are the products positioned above the hotspot locations with unparalleled views, offering seclusion and serenity. These properties are still not as valued in Montenegro and therefore offer a great opportunity for growth.
Lifestyle Amenities: Properties offering a unique lifestyle experience, such as access to marinas, golf courses, wellness centers, and cultural attractions, tend to attract discerning
buyers seeking a blend of luxury living and leisure activities.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Living: With increasing global awareness of environmental sustainability, properties designed with eco-friendly features and sustainable practices are gaining popularity among luxury buyers.
Off-Plan Investments: Off-plan investments in pre-construction or under-development projects can offer attractive pricing and potential capital appreciation upon completion.
