Real estates are those things that cannot change their position in space without destroying their essence or changing their existing structure, and the term specifically refers to land and buildings. Agricultural, construction and other lands are considered land. Residential, commercial and all other buildings and their parts are considered buildings. Factors affecting the real estate market are demographic trends, interest rates, economic opportunities and state legislation. Real estate market participants are producers, users, the state and real estate dealers. On the Croatian real estate market, the most common transactions by type are the purchase and sale of agricultural land. This is followed by the purchase and sale of apartments and construction plots. Construction land is mostly traded on the coast. Real estate prices are increasing from year to year, and based on the reviewed data, real estate prices are expected to rise in the future as well. Although the data on real estate price movements and the average monthly income of Croats seem unfavorable and extremely demotivating for making a decision to buy real estate, the data obtained from the research indicate that the situation is similar in many countries of the European Union.
