It is clear that in understanding market trends in the field of real estate, it is necessary to distinguish luxury from more affordable offers. Even today, it is possible to rent living space in Sarajevo on a monthly basis for 200 BAM, but it is usually a floor of a private house or a room in a building or a studio apartment.
Over the past few years, the real estate market has been facing dynamic changes that have resulted in ever-increasing housing costs. The price of a square meter of residential space, which in the central city core reaches 8,000 BAM, is no longer a novelty, nor is the fact that many are forced to look for alternative options, such as moving to less central parts of the city. The upward trend in the purchase of residential space is followed by the monthly rent, which has also recently shown great increases.
