A wrong estimate can cost you tens of thousands of dollars: How do you determine the right price for an apartment?

The article discusses the challenges of accurately pricing a property for sale in Croatia, highlighting common mistakes made by sellers. It explains that setting prices too high can lead to prolonged time on the market without serious inquiries, while setting them too low may result in financial loss despite quick sales. The article notes that the Croatian real estate market lacks transparency, with significant discrepancies between advertised prices and final selling prices. Research indicates that average realized sale prices are around 20% lower than advertised prices. The piece offers practical advice, such as using comparative methods based on similar properties, consulting data from the eNekretnine system, and considering income capitalization for rental properties. It emphasizes that while these methods provide guidance, the final price depends on the specific characteristics of the property.
