Buying

If you've been following economic news in Montenegro recently, you've probably seen announcements about the new Europe Now 3 model, expected to take effect in January 2027. The proposed reform would increase net salaries across the country, with minimum wages ranging from €1,000 to €1,400 depending on education level and qualifications. As a result, many potential buyers are thinking along the same...

A decade ago, the answer to the question of how to finance a property purchase was fairly straightforward. If you had enough money, you paid in cash. Financing was generally seen as an option for those who had no alternative. Today, the situation is a bit different. In the real estate market, we increasingly meet buyers who have the funds to purchase a property outright but still consider taking out a...

If you speak with ten people currently searching for a home, you'll probably hear ten different wish lists. For some, location is the top priority. For others, it's parking, natural light, or an extra room for working from home. Yet after years of working in real estate, one pattern becomes clear: there are certain property flaws buyers are willing to accept if a home offers enough advantages elsewhere,...

Ten years ago, the answer to this question would have been simple. Most buyers focused on the location first, and everything else came second. A desirable neighbourhood, proximity to the city centre, and good infrastructure were often enough to attract interest in a property. Today, the situation is different. As the number of new residential developments continues to grow, buyers are increasingly looking...

Not long ago, one of the first questions property buyers would ask was: "When was the building constructed?" Today, many buyers are more interested in something entirely different: "How much does it cost to live here every month?" As living costs continue to rise, buyers are paying closer attention to the long-term affordability of a property. That's why electricity bills have become an increasingly...

Buyer priorities are changing. While location and square footage were once the main factors people considered when purchasing a property, rising temperatures are influencing real estate decisions in new ways. During the summer months, when temperatures in Podgorica regularly exceed 35°C, many buyers start thinking about how comfortable an apartment will be in everyday life. As a result, buyer priorities...

One of the first questions buyers ask when they see a property that has been listed for a while is: how long does it take to sell an apartment, and should that be a red flag? At first glance, it may seem reasonable to assume that a property that has been on the market for several months is less desirable than one that sold within days. In reality, however, the answer is rarely that simple. The time it...

If you're searching for an apartment in Podgorica with a budget of around180 000€, you'll quickly realize that the same amount of money can buy two very different properties. This is no coincidence. According to MONSTAT, the average price of new-build apartments in Montenegro has been steadily increasing, meaning buyers today often have to choose between a smaller apartment in a new building and a larger...

Over the past few years, property prices in Montenegro have risen significantly. However, real estate experts are increasingly pointing out that the market is becoming more selective. This means that having an apartment in a good location is no longer enough. Today's buyers pay closer attention to quality, legal documentation, and whether the asking price reflects the property's true value. In other...

Natural light in a home is much more than an aesthetic feature. It influences how we perceive a space, enhances everyday comfort, and significantly improves the overall living experience. That is why architects and interior designers consider natural light in a home one of the most important elements of a well-designed living space. Below, you'll discover why natural light matters so much and why it often...
