Why Are Slovenia Real Estate Prices Rising in Value?

There are two main reasons:

The first is, the economy is expanding. Slovenia joined the European Union in 2004 and now has the highest growth rate of any of the new member states with GDP just touching 5%. Slovenia also recently adopted the euro as its currency and investment from other member states is rising, this combined with solid government economic policies has seen Slovenia achieve the highest growth of any new member state.

With rising economic growth and disposable incomes comes a demand for quality real estate and demand is out stripping supply.

Tourism

This economic growth is seeing a rise in tourism and the government is actively promoting the country to overseas visitors.

 
With the recent arrival of budget airlines and cheap flights, tourist numbers are on the rise and will continue to rise, for the foreseeable future.

There is a lack of quality real estate to buy and to rent in many of the urban areas and the capital Ljubljana is a good example, where the lack of quality housing is seeing strong rises in real estate values. This also applies to many of the major holiday resort areas of the country, such as:

The Soca Valley Primoska, Bled, Bohinj and Kranska Gora – to name just a few.
