Serbian village house listed for €25,000 draws attention to regional real‑estate prices

A Facebook post by a user named Jovan offers a house in the village of Jamena, near Šid in the Srem region of western Serbia. The property measures 85 sqm, includes several outbuildings and sits on a 1.8‑hectare (approximately 18 aï) plot near the Sava River, with an asking price of €25,000. Online users expressed scepticism about the unusually low price compared with urban properties, noting that rural Serbian land can be bought for as little as €1,000 per hectare and that similar homes have been listed for around €28,000.

In Romania, analysts explain that while developers no longer offer the large discounts of previous years, buyers who reserve apartments at the project‑launch stage can still obtain up to a 10 % price reduction, and total savings may exceed 20 % over the life of the investment. The recent Nordis law, intended to protect buyers of under‑construction homes, limits developers’ ability to collect large advance payments, forcing many to seek costly bank financing. As a result, developers’ price‑negotiation margins have shrunk, sales have fallen, and reservation numbers are down by up to 50 % compared with the previous year.
