After the property markets of Eastern European and Balkan neighbours such as Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia and Montenegro reached their high peak Albania did finally emerge and is now considered as the Last Property Hotspot of Europe.
Albania Properties / Alfa Information being the only agency in the market for over 10 years has seen the market move swiftly and very fast.
The demand from foreign investors started end of 2006 even though a large number of Italians and Greeks did spot the opportunities in very early days 7-8 years a go.
When we first started marketing Albanian property to foreign market few years a go there were no other agents or developers in the market but as time moved on within one year you can see the dramatic changes are happening and many foreign agents and investors have realised the opportunities that Albania has to offer. Since then we have been trying to assit investors on how to invest in Albania property.
Considering that Albanian property, lands and other investment opportunities are 75% cheaper compare to other European markets of Bulgaria, Croatia or Montenegro off plan property prices have reached over 2000 Euro per square meter.
Property prices in the outskirts of Tirana are from as low as 380 Euros per square meter and in the preferred locations from middle class Locals such as Fresku, Linza, Selita, Lake and Botanic Garden, off plan proeprty are from 550-700 Euros per square meter.
Average rentals achievable are 5% Yield per year where capital growth has been the main factor to be more appreciated at around 25% per year. As in every other Emerging Property market it is always a bonus to achieve a good rental return but it is mainly the capital growth where the main benefit lies.
It is also very important that in Emerging markets to appreciate the highest capital growths therefore it is best advised to get in early.
