Buying A Home In Croatia? How Tech Could Help You Out

The real estate market in Croatia is currently on the rise – which means good news for home buyers in Dalmatia and beyond. As Croatia Week reports, real estate prices have increased by more than 2% annually, and it is clear that Croatia is an excellent investment destination for buying a house. If you’re buying a home, it’s likely that technology will help you achieve your goals in one way or another. From how laser scanners can save you time when choosing your dream home to the growth of real estate websites, technology will transform the home buying process whether you’re in bustling coastal cities like Split or rural areas of the country. This article will show exactly how this can happen.

Selling houses through websites

There are many different ways in which the Internet is changing home buying and boosting the Croatian real estate market. But perhaps most obvious is the explosive growth of classifieds websites that aggregate properties for sale and allow potential buyers to view homes to buy, see room layouts, consider floor plans and more. These websites mean unsuitable buyers are often filtered out sooner so they don’t waste sellers’ time, while their comprehensive nature means properties often get more exposure. They have especially developed in Croatia: websites such as Broker.hr, Croestate.com and Croatia-estate.com have almost all the properties for sale in the region.

Additional tools for buying a home

When buying a home, you may need to develop detailed plans at some point. Let’s say you want to take advantage of average summer temperatures of 28°C or more by building a swimming pool: in that case, you need to know the size of the garden and recognize any possible blockages or problems that could prevent you from doing so. The advent of laser scanners means this can be easy – and with some scanners capable of capturing more than 40,000 data points per second, new homeowners can easily complete this task without hiring expensive professionals.

Tips for buying a house with a mortgage

Anyone who has gone to a bank or lender in Croatia or elsewhere for a mortgage will know that it is a complex process to determine whether you qualify. But the advent of automated advice means mortgage brokers aren’t quite as necessary as they once were. Now, for example, you can enter your information into an online calculator and get an instant estimate of how much you could borrow to finance the purchase of your dream Croatian home.

Croatia has seen a small increase in wealth in recent years – and as is common in emerging economies, the property market is rising to reflect this change. And in the ever-changing world of home buying and selling technology in Croatia, it’s likely that things will soon become even more efficient and simplified. With laser scanners, robo-advisors and websites, buying and selling is likely to be easier than ever for Croats and foreigners looking for a warmer destination.
