Your assumptions
The lowest price in our current listings in Albania is €60,000.
✓ Default in Albania: 15 % a year
✓ Typical range 4–8%, default 4%
We're happy to arrange financing up to 70% of the value — how it works.
Reduce future returns
Reduces the entered annual appreciation by up to 80% — effectively 15 % a year. It lowers only the price growth, not rent or interest.

For comparison: a property worth €100,000, at the average price growth in the Czech Republic (6 % a year, ČSÚ), would be worth €133,823 after 5 years — without rental income.

How we calculate this and where the defaults come from
Terms explained with your example
- Price appreciation. 15 % a year means that a property worth €100,000 is worth €115,000 after a year and €132,250 the year after (compounded).
- Rental yield. 4 % a year on a property worth €100,000 is roughly €4,000 of net rent a year, i.e. €333 a month. In the model, rent is calculated from the current value, so it grows along with the price.
- Financing. A loan of 50% of the value at 5.5% p.a. is not repaid; interest is calculated on the full principal over the entire horizon. The higher percentage under “with financing” arises because the same return is divided by a smaller amount of equity.
- Equity growth. Total return (price appreciation + rent − any interest) divided by your own money. The annual figure is the average compound annual rate.
Source of the default price growth estimate (Albania): Estimate based on publicly available data on flat price growth in Albania in recent years (typically 10–15% a year, some sources even higher).
This is a nationwide average. Coastal tourist locations (Durrës, the Albanian Riviera) have grown noticeably faster in recent years, easily 20–30% a year.
Default values in Albania: appreciation 15 % a year, rental yield 4 %–8 % a year.
The lower end of the range mainly reflects seasonal occupancy — outside the main summer months, short-term rental demand on the coast tends to be weaker.
This is a simplified illustrative calculation (the loan is calculated as interest-only at a fixed rate, and does not include taxes or transaction costs). Past appreciation is no guarantee of future returns — the actual result depends on the project, location, occupancy, and quality of management. Exchange rates are indicative; the Czech comparison is based on ČSÚ data.
