Over the last decade, Albania has emerged as one of the most dynamic real estate markets in the Western Balkans.
Tirana continues its vertical expansion, Sarandë attracts international buyers, and Durrës is evolving into a year-round destination. Growth in tourism, renewed diaspora interest, and increasing foreign investment have all contributed to this momentum.
But as with any rapidly growing market, sustainability becomes the central question.

𝟏,𝟔𝟐𝟎 €/𝐦² — National average (2024)

Behind these figures lies a growing affordability challenge. Purchasing an average apartment in Tirana can require up to 𝟏𝟗 annual salaries, shaping who can realistically access the market.
