What’s happening with Serbia’s real estate market in 2026?

After years of intense price growth in 2022–2024, Serbia’s real estate market is entering a phase of moderate dynamics. This isn’t bad news — for buyers or sellers. Understanding what’s happening is key to making a good decision.

Prices by city: where are we now?

According to RGZ (Geodetic Institute) data and 4zida.rs analysis for January–February 2026:

City Average price €/m²
Belgrade ~2,500
Novi Sad ~1,800
Niš ~1,200
Kragujevac 950–1,566
Čačak / Kraljevo ~1,000–1,100

In Kragujevac, prices remain affordable compared to major centers, averaging 950 to 1,566 €/m² depending on location and construction type.

Will prices rise or fall?

Realistic forecast for 2026: moderate growth of 2–5% annually. A sharp drop is unlikely — but neither will we see the 15–20% annual growth of recent years.

Is 2026 a good time to buy?

Yes — less competition, better negotiating positions, gradually improving mortgage rates, and stable property values make this one of the better buying opportunities in the past three years.

Is 2026 a good time to sell?

Also yes — for sellers with realistic pricing. Properties priced correctly are still selling quickly.
