Official trend

Croatia's official transaction based House Price Index rose about 16.1% over the year to 2025-Q4, with the index at 237.93 (2015 = 100). This is the official trend behind the asking prices above.

How we know these numbers

Croatia's Bureau of Statistics (DZS) publishes its House Price Index for only three zones: City of Zagreb, the Adriatic coast, and Other. There is no official per-town figure for Split, Dubrovnik, or Istria. For the latest quarter (Q4 2025) the Adriatic coast index rose about 14.5 percent over the year, transaction based. The per square meter figures here are asking prices from Croatia's main portal (nekretnine.hr), with official sold-price transaction figures shown alongside where the Ministry of Physical Planning has published them.

These are asking prices from nekretnine.hr. Croatia's statistics office publishes transaction data only at three zones (Zagreb, Adriatic, Other), so there is no official per-town sold figure. Asking prices typically sit 5 to 15 percent above final sold prices.
