How do I find a place to live in Trogir?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Trogir involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from apartments, houses, or even villas, depending on your preference and financial capability. Next, you should research about the different neighborhoods in Trogir to understand their unique characteristics, proximity to amenities, and overall living conditions. Some popular areas include the Old Town, Ciovo Island, and the mainland area. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online platforms where you can find listings for rental properties or properties for sale in Trogir. Websites like Real Estate Croatia, Croatia Property Sales, and Rightmove have numerous listings for Trogir. You can also engage the services of a local real estate agent. They have a deep understanding of the local market and can help you find a place that suits your needs and budget. When you find a potential place, make sure to visit it in person. Check the condition of the property, the neighborhood, and ask any questions you might have. Finally, once you've found the perfect place, you'll need to negotiate the terms of the lease or sale, and sign the necessary paperwork. If you're not fluent in Croatian, you might want to hire a translator or a lawyer to ensure you understand all the terms and conditions before signing anything. Remember, finding a place to live in a new city or country can take time, so be patient and thorough in your search," said one person in Trogir.

What is the average cost of housing in Trogir?

If you are thinking about moving to Trogir, cost of living in probably a key consideration. Expats commented about the cost of housing:

"The average cost of housing in Trogir can vary greatly depending on the location and type of property. For instance, a one-bedroom apartment in the city center may cost around $500 per month, while a similar apartment outside the city center may be around $350 per month. If you're looking to buy, the average price per square meter for an apartment in the city center can be around $2,500, while outside the city center it may be around $1,500. However, these prices can fluctuate based on market conditions and other factors," said one person in Trogir.

Should I buy or rent a home in Trogir?

If you have not spent a lot of time in Trogir, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision:

"The decision to buy or rent a home in Trogir, largely depends on your personal circumstances, financial situation, and long-term plans. If you plan to stay in Trogir for a long period, buying a home could be a good investment. Owning a property allows you to build equity over time and could potentially provide a return on investment if property values increase. On the other hand, renting might be a better option if you're not planning to stay in Trogir for a long time. Renting offers more flexibility, as you can move without the hassle of selling a property. It also doesn't require a large upfront investment like buying a home does. If you're considering buying, keep in mind that the process can be complex and time-consuming, especially if you're not familiar with the local real estate market. You'll need to consider property taxes, maintenance costs, and home insurance, among other expenses. Renting, while simpler, also has its drawbacks. You won't build equity, and you'll be subject to the rules and restrictions set by your landlord. Rent prices can also increase over time. In conclusion, both buying and renting have their pros and cons. It's important to carefully consider your financial situation, lifestyle, and long-term plans before making a decision. Consulting with a local real estate agent or financial advisor could also be beneficial," said one person in Trogir.
