Developments: 5. In late June 2026, the Brčko district of Bosnia‑Herzegovina reported a very active real‑estate market, with newly built apartments fetching 2,200 – 3,700 KM per square metre. By mid‑July 2026, similar premium‑price dynamics were evident in Zagreb, Croatia, where luxury complexes listed apartments at €5,500 – €9,000 per square metre, with some units reaching €10,000 per square metre. By the end of July, the Ban Centar tower recorded prices up to €13,000 per square metre. By late August 2026, Zagreb real estate prices continued to rise despite a decline in transaction volume, driven by a supply shortage as investors focused on luxury new constructions. In one project near Vukovarska and Strojarska streets, prices tripled since late 2024 to between €7,200 and €8,400 per square metre. While the secondary market for older buildings reached up to €4,000 per square metre, experts noted that stricter credit conditions were limiting buyer capacity. Ivana Čikić, director of Dom ekspert, suggested that if owners of older properties lowered prices, demand might shift from luxury builds to older housing, potentially stabilizing the market. Data from the Croatian Bureau of Statistics (DZS) for the first half of 2026 revealed that the national average price for a new apartment was €2,994 per square metre, an 8.7 percent increase year-on-year. Zagreb saw a more significant surge, with average new apartment prices reaching €3,518 per square metre, marking an 18.9 percent year-on-year increase. During this period, 1,618 new apartments were sold across Croatia, including 530 in Zagreb. By September 2026, broader regional trends emerged. In Serbia, the market value reached 4.2 billion euros in the first half of 2026, a 10.1 percent increase year-on-year. A transaction in Belgrade’s Stari Grad municipality saw an apartment sell for €2.6 million, at €12,000 per square metre. ## Claims - Prices per square metre in Zagreb luxury apartments can reach up to €13,000.
