Housing Prices and New Measures: Here's What Our Expert Says In recent months, housing policy and housing prices have become the main topic of conversation – from young people looking for their first home to investors and landlords. The government has launched several measures, such as property tax, partial VAT refund on the purchase of the first property, and affordable rental models. However, the results will not be seen overnight. These are long-term processes. Measures with Long-Term Impact Although the goal is to increase housing affordability and steer the market in a more sustainable direction, it is clear that it will take time for more visible results. Experiences from other countries show that entire cycles, up to ten years, are needed to show real effects. This topic was discussed in an interview for Tportal by our Boro Vujović, director of Opereta real estate and he highlighted several key points.  "Prices, as statistics show, continue to rise. Our turnover has decreased, but this is more a consequence of high prices, the fact that there is not enough supply of real estate on the market, and that our foreigners, namely the main markets of Austria and Germany, are in trouble. Foreigners make up about 40 percent of our buyers, and I think these are some parameters that are currently affecting the market," said Vujović. From his perspective, the state of the real estate market could also be influenced by the tourist season, the policy of lending for apartment purchases, and a number of other factors.  On the other hand, the City of Zagreb has adopted a new Zagreb General Urban Plan (GUP), which, among other things, envisages a 30 percent reduction in the construction coefficient.  Vujović adds that the impact of the GUP on price growth should not be felt if the City of Zagreb decides to build rental or affordable housing. And the impact of housing policy programs on real estate prices could, according to him, be felt when citizens receive the first decisions on property tax payments and when the first results of this year's tourist season arrive. For all other effects, according to him, it will be necessary to wait until next year. What This Means for Citizens Buying the first property is still a big challenge, but the market is gradually changing. Government measures, although slow in their effects, combined with changes in tourism and global trends, can open up new opportunities. That is why it is important to have a reliable partner who understands market dynamics and can help make the best decision.

Why buying an apartment in this new building is a smart decision Buying an apartment is not just about solving a housing issue – it's a decision that shapes your lifestyle and the security of your future. That's why more and more buyers in Zagreb are choosing new developments, and one of today's most attractive addresses is Kuniščak Residence. Advantages of buying a new development An apartment in a new development in such a location, less than 20 minutes away from the main square, brings a series of practical and long-term benefits:

• Energy efficiency – modern construction standards bring lower utility costs and sustainable living.
• Modern floor plans – apartments are designed according to the needs of today's families and individuals.
• Higher market value – new developments retain or increase their price, making them a safe investment.

Kuniščak – a hidden gem in the city center Kuniščak Street is parallel to Ilica, less than a 20-minute walk from Ban Jelačić Square. At first glance, a quiet, residential street, but actually an address with unique advantages: everything is at your fingertips, yet you are shielded from the city hustle and bustle. Imagine a life where:

• you take your children to kindergarten or school just a few minutes' walk away,
• universities like KBF, ZŠEM, Algebra, or TTF are in the neighborhood,
• you reach hospitals and health centers (KBC Sv. Duh, KBC Sestre milosrdnice) in a few minutes,
• you walk to Lauba House of Art for cultural events,
• you are a few tram stops away from Cvjetni Square, the theater, or shopping,
• while the peaceful environment gives you a sense of detachment from the city rush.

Why this is a location of the future What especially raises the value of this address is the development of the neighborhood – the construction of Trg pravde (Justice Square), which will become one of the most important judicial and administrative centers in the country. This means that the demand for apartments nearby will further increase, making Kuniščak Residence a safe and long-term investment. In addition, the street is in the tram zone and excellently connected to the rest of the city – living here means you can use your car when needed, and function daily with public transport. Kuniščak Residence – where life and investment meet The Kuniščak Residence project includes 38 modern apartments ranging from 47 to 107 m², spread over three floors with an underground garage. Each apartment brings comfort, security, and long-term value, thanks to top-notch construction and energy efficiency. By buying an apartment here, you are not just choosing walls and square meters – you are choosing a lifestyle where you are close to everything that matters to you, and at the same time, you are investing in a property whose value grows over time.
