What is CroReal.com?

CroReal.com is a real estate portal focused on property in Croatia — both private owners and estate agencies list sale and rental properties here, and the site is available in 9 languages. Browse listings via advanced search or directly from the homepage.

Is registering and listing a property free?

Yes, registering and listing a standard property on CroReal.com is free — see the step-by-step process in how to list a property. If you want your listing boosted or featured, you can pay for one of the packages described under paid advertising.

What languages is the site available in?

CroReal.com is available in nine language versions — English, Czech, Slovak, German, French, Italian, Polish, Croatian and Slovenian. The site can also automatically translate messages between buyers and advertisers — see how to use the portal.

What is the quickest way to find a suitable property?

Use advanced search to filter by location, property type, price and other criteria. You can also set up the watchdog to keep an eye on new listings for you — see portal help.

What is the watchdog and how does it work?

The watchdog alerts you by email as soon as a property matching your criteria is listed. You set it up once logged into your account — the full steps are in how to use the portal. The same feature is now available in our CroReal iOS app, available on the App Store.

How do I contact an advertiser or agent?

Every listing includes a phone number and a contact form you can use to message the owner or agent directly. Looking for a specific estate agency? See the directory of agencies, with more detail in estate agencies and agents.

How do I add a new property for sale or rent?

After registering, you fill in a form with the location, description, price and photos — we cover the full process step by step in how to list a property. Listing a standard property is free.

How is personal data protected?

We process personal data in line with GDPR — see our privacy policy and the site's terms of use for details.

What if my question isn't answered here?

Write to us via the contact form — we typically reply within 48 hours. Business and press enquiries go through the same channel.

Is browsing and searching for property free for buyers too?

Yes, anyone can browse listings and search CroReal.com for free, with no account needed. An account is only required to list your own property, set up the watchdog, or save favourites — see how to use the portal.

Does CroReal.com work on mobile?

Yes, the site is fully responsive and works directly in a mobile browser on phone or tablet. There's also a dedicated CroReal app for iPhone, available on the App Store.

What is the difference between asking prices and realized prices?

The asking price is what a property is advertised for – what the seller wants. The realized price is what was actually paid when the sale went through. The two differ because prices are normally negotiated: by our measurement of the Croatian market, asking prices run a median of roughly 44% above realized ones. That is why listings show both – the comparison against similar listings is built from asking prices on the portal, while the "official realized prices" figure comes from public data published by the Ministry of Physical Planning (MPGI) and reflects prices actually paid in that municipality. We deliberately keep the two apart so it is always clear which number means what.

Where do the official realized prices on listings come from?

From publicly published data of the Croatian Ministry of Physical Planning, Construction and State Assets (MPGI) – specifically its real-estate market review, which aggregates contracts of sale that were actually concluded. The data is broken down by municipality and property type. We show the median for the most recent year available, for apartments and commercial premises. We do not show it for houses or land, because in the official statistics that figure relates to a different area measurement than the listings on the portal and would not be comparable. If a municipality has no data from the last three years, we withhold the figure rather than show something outdated.
