A n Imminent Royal Trip To Croatia From The King And Queen Of Norway Highlights The Development On Eastern Hvar Near Sucuraj, Billed As The New Cannes

A forthcoming royal visit to Croatia from the King and Queen of Norway highlights the development on eastern Hvar near Sucuraj, billed as the new Cannes. The royal couple are due on an official visit to Zagreb and the seaside town of Sibenik on May 12-13, accompanied by one hundred Norwegian businessmen, who are digging into investing opportunities in the former-Yugoslav republic as reported suite101.com.

Croatia is beginning to become more well-liked as a vacation destination. Enthusiastic about buying a place on an Croatian island, flat in a quiet Dalmatian town, commercial property in Dalmatia or land plot for a larger investment? According to the Law of Croatia real estate, foreign voters and enterprises can be owners of real-estate in all the teritory of Republic Croatia (Istria, Kvarner, Dalmatia, Continental Croatia, and all Croatian islands).

Croatian property enquiries for the winter period of 2010 to 2011 are up from the previous year. They are still far from pre crisis levels but a significant rise never the less. Exchange volumes are still low but the number of sales converted is rising and investors who have been showing interest over the last 12 months are beginning to commit. With improving economic conditions internationally and a signs that confidence is returning in Europe, all be it slowly and carefully, it would seem the trend should continue in 2011.

One thing's for sure, Croatian property agents are actually working for their commission. This is no bad thing. It has reduced the number of players in the market considerably. It in addition has raised the standards as buyers ask considerably more questions, and generally look far more closely at value. This has forced Croatian property agents to be more competent, informed and supplied with reasoned arguments rather than the standard sales patter. It has helped to regulate the Croatian property market a little better as prices paid are realistic. There are no men with black brief cases sneaking round the corner ready to pay five times more than the property is basically worth. Those times are well behind us and thankfully so.

Price-wise, with no regard for reports of falls of between 5% and 10%, actually Croatian property prices have fallen more like 20% to 30%. The cause of the irregularity is due to advertised and exact sales values. This is particularly true for properties in Croatia coastal locations where lots of the property is bought by foreigners and where exchange volumes are so low that data is constrained, so much so it is tricky to appraise. Additionally the present system of monitoring Croatian real-estate prices is fairly ineffective thanks to a lack of accurate data. The primary source of data is that of the tax office, where contractual prices of Croatian property sold are registered. But the practice of manipulating contractual prices for tax purposes is still typically found in Croatia making available info unreliable.

In the coastal locations, foreign property owners are much more inclined to drop prices. A lot of them have experience similar price falls in their home marketplaces and have promptly become accustomed to the idea property is worth less than it used to be and that prices are relative. For instance a major number of foreign owners have sold property in Croatia, to exploit falling prices at home, preferring to reinvest regionally. We see this trend continuing throughout 2011.

When considering the Croatian market direction for 2011, it's also important to have a look at Croatia's economic and political situation. Now Croatia is going thru its own crisis of confidence, not least with the economy. Nonetheless considering the state of lots of the other peripheral EU economies as well as it's comparative size, Croatia is not alone. It is definitely no worse than Greece, Eire, Portugal, Spain and potentially Belgium and is perhaps better in several examples. The country definitely hasn't been bailed out by the European Union or International Financial Fund yet Moreover, as the EU is attempting to introduce a rather more strategic and coordinated industrial policy approach, Croatia, shortly to be an affiliate, should benefit.

Additionally Croatia is tackling the issue of corruption head on. There have been countless high profile arrests including the arrest of Ivo Sanader the previous PM, as well as a considerable number of his ex ministers and it seems like this is just the beginning. With the press now having free reign in the democratic process stories of new executive officers and their unexplainable wealth are hitting the headlines on a constant basis. It might seem that Croatia is kind of unique with respect to its open tries to tackle corruption. Born by it's need and drive to join the Western European Union Croatia, unlike Romania and Bulgaria, as well as some of the more established states of the EU, has needed to be brave and cope with this tricky problem up-front of Croatia EU Accession.

This has understandably caused some negative sentiment from foreign investors short term. But then financiers are being wary for a similar reasons they are cautious pretty much everywhere in Europe right now. We only really see this changing once the banks start to lend again bringing with it a change in sentiment. This is particularly the case for the second houses market. But medium to long-term, and more precisely after Croatia joins the EU end of 2012, things will definitely improve.

How does this affect the Croatia property market? Short term we are expecting there to be continued downward strain on property prices in Croatia, but with exchange volumes rising as buyers and investors look to milk bargains as well as some solid Croatian property investing opportunities. This is correct for both the domestic and foreign customers. Medium term we expect to see Croatia join the EU, but it has still to be seen what quantity of a repercussion on Croatian real-estate prices it'll have. There are 2 distinct probabilities, a modest and stable effect or an inflationary drive. It'll mostly depend on the EU itself and whether or not it is able to resolve it's own issues and repair confidence in its own capability to manage and unify it's members on the necessary fiscal regulation in order to prevent the same sovereign credit problems some of it's members are at present facing, and more importantly the impact that has on it's other members and the EU itself.
