Country Vacations & Resorts

Suppose you are watching a House Hunters International on HGTV and see a property or area you really like. What if, as on the last show I watched, the area is in Croatia? I personally know little about Croatia and was surprised by both the beautiful seas AND the relatively (to me) high real estate prices. I’m not selling out of the United States this week and moving, but it would be nice to have a place to go online for immediate and comprehensive information.

I found Property-abroad.com.

From their website you can search for a property in their database of over 140,000 listings in 100+ countries. Country guides and directories are conveniently referenced, and there is also information on investment and fractional ownership which we’ve discussed in an earlier post.

Buyer’s guides will prove very handy once you’ve found the perfect country and/or the perfect property. Real estate purchases are notoriously detailed and the process varies significantly from country to country. Imagine trying to track a property’s title in Croatia? You’ll need guidance.

Since my interest today is in Croatia, clicking on the Croatia guide link gives me immediate access to the very kind of info I need to research. I get an overview on buying property in Croatia, mortgage options, investment property information, apartment, villa, and vacation home availability, and commercial property purchase options and info. This is a goldmine for anyone contemplating an overseas property purchase.

Maps of the selected country are available via each country’s guide. The site also does not assume that since you are on a country’s page, you already know the area. Enough specific information is provided to either direct you to or help you avoid tourist areas, point out coveted seaside and beach locations, and generally take you on a quick virtual tour of your target property destination. There are even links to local news items per country guide. Find out what’s going on before you get there!
