Beste Value-Regionen
The composite value score — low €/m² combined with high gross yield — points to Podgorica as the market offering the best buyer entry price for the rental yield on offer. Average price is €1,810/m² and gross yield sits at 3.8%.
Anlageausblick
Tourism arrivals hit a record 2.7 million overnight stays in 2024, and the visitor mix remains heavily weighted toward the Balkans and Russia — the two markets that drive short-term rental demand in Budva, Kotor, Tivat and Herceg Novi. Bar and Podgorica are the two markets where long-let yields beat short-let yields, making them the obvious play for investors who don't want the operational overhead of holiday letting.
