Croatia property prices: Homes within 100 metres of the sea ask almost 30% more - by croatiaweek - in News Homes close to the sea in Croatia are commanding a significant price premium, with properties within 100 metres of the water carrying median asking prices almost 30% higher than those more than a kilometre away. An analysis by Croatian property search platform Kvadratko.hr found that the closer a property is to the sea, the higher its asking price per square metre. The study examined 5,188 apartments and houses for sale with a known distance from the sea, from a total of 17,905 active listings on the platform. Properties located within 100 metres of the sea had a median asking price of €4,355 per square metre. By comparison, homes more than one kilometre from the water had a median asking price of €3,357 per square metre. That represents a difference of €998 per square metre, or 29.7%. The analysis found a consistent decline in median asking prices across every distance category. Properties between 101 and 300 metres from the sea had a median asking price of €4,176 per square metre, while those between 301 and 1,000 metres stood at €3,963 per square metre. Beyond one kilometre, the median fell to €3,357 per square metre.
