The real estate sector has become a huge success. The share of real estate in the total volume of FDI is 62%.
Nevertheless, in 2025, a significant reduction in the number of home purchases by foreigners is expected due to the changes, entered into the Golden Visa program and possible tightening of short-term rental conditions.
According to market experts, these restrictions will reduce investment demand from abroad, and it will take some time to adapt to the new rules.
In particular, a change in the investor's profile is expected: instead of small buyers interested in apartments, large players will come, who will gradually begin to invest in residential, tourism, logistics and other real estate categories, as well as in facilities for their own use, while resort houses will come to the fore.
It is obvious that foreign direct investment will decrease in the coming year if the negative trend is not reversed.
