Housing prices in Croatia continued their steep climb in the second quarter of 2025, according to fresh data from the Croatian Bureau of Statistics (DZS).

Overall, prices of residential properties rose 4.4% compared to the first quarter, while on an annual basis the increase accelerated to 13.2%.

Newly built homes recorded a more modest rise, up 1.5% on the quarter and 11% higher than a year earlier. Existing housing stock saw sharper growth, with prices up 5.2% compared to Q1 and 13.7% year-on-year.

The rise varied across regions. Compared with the previous quarter:

• Zagreb prices rose 3.3%,

• Adriatic coast prices climbed 5.1%,

• Other regions surged 5.6%.

Annual data show a broad-based rise: prices in Zagreb were up 12.2%, the Adriatic by 12.3%, while other regions saw the sharpest increase at 18.2%.

The latest figures underscore the ongoing pressure in Croatia’s property market, driven by strong demand, limited supply, and rising costs of construction.
