Most foreign demand concentrates on four areas. Budva and neighbouring Bečići are the busiest resort market, with the widest choice of apartments and the strongest short-let season. Tivat, home to the Porto Montenegro marina, is the higher-end, year-round end of the coast. Kotor and its bay — Dobrota, Prčanj, Muo — trade beach access for UNESCO-listed scenery and quieter, more residential streets.
A large share of coastal supply is new construction. Buying off-plan can mean a better price and a staged payment plan, but it also means checking the developer, the permit and the delivery terms carefully. Our guide on what to ask a developer before you reserve walks through the questions that matter.
Foreigners can buy property in Montenegro in their own name. The process — from a first viewing trip to the keys — is set out step by step in this guide, and the wider picture is covered in our main guide to buying property in Montenegro.
