Ljubljana’s real estate prices will hardly drop. Maybe they will finally stabilize, but as long there is constant influx of people wanting to live in Ljubljana there will also be a constant pressure from investors and resellers. Also: the habits are changing slow, real slow. Most of people want to own the apartment/house. Good for the banks, good for the market, bad for the rest of us. Because the rent is directly connected to the price of the real estate.

@crni: I do believe so. Along with – as you noted already – the proverbial inflexibility of spoilt Slovenians when it comes to what is an acceptable commute. Things are bound to change, though. Not as far as prices go, but I anticipate two things:
1) people willing to live further away from work;
2) people accepting rental as an acceptable/possibly preferable type of accomodation.

So what’s really fueling the prices is short supply?

@P: I just supplemented the post… doing too many things at the same time. The Angel and the Devil will be doing our new website, though

@Adriaan: Thanks for the heads up! I should have double-checked the data… will go edit now.

Dr. Fil,

Another fine article up to your usual standard.

If I may correct one thing (at the risk of being called a pedant), Slovenia was deemed the 8th best country in which to invest, by the “place in the Sun” programme, although with the benefit of a hindsight it ought to have been ranked higher!

So you’re saying that foreign investments fuel the real-estate prices?
