Apartment prices have risen by twelve point two percent, prompting analysts to caution about future trends. The sector analysis from the Economic Institute in Zagreb links the price increase to a rise in construction activity. Data show that the volume of building works, the count of employed construction workers, and the number of newly completed apartments have all grown. However, the report stresses that developments in sectors outside construction will heavily shape the industry’s direction in the coming months. Shifts in demand for related materials, financing conditions, or broader economic performance could alter the pace of new projects. The institute predicts that such cross‑sector influences will be decisive for the sector’s momentum. Stakeholders are advised to monitor these external factors closely.
