How willing are Russians to buy property abroad?

It’s no secret that any resident of Russia and not only dreams, wants or at least thinks about acquiring real estate somewhere abroad. This interest is steadily growing, almost every day. The bulk of such people are Muscovites (70-75%), the rest are residents of the former CIS countries and other regions.

Based on the information provided by Anna Levitova, the managing partner of one of the most popular companies, the top ten countries popular with Russians include such countries as the Czech Republic, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Great Britain, the United States of America, Bulgaria, Finland, Turkey and Montenegro.

Often, most of the citizens of the Russian Federation acquire foreign real estate for the purpose of investment and in order to have a good rest. For example, for investments, Russians most often choose well-developed countries in Western Europe, which are characterized by a stable economy and the absence of serious obstacles to the purchase of foreign real estate by foreigners. These countries include Germany, France, Austria and the UK.

And in order to relax, compatriots prefer housing in such resort areas of central, southern and eastern Europe as Spain, Greece, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and so on. These countries first of all attract us by the fact that it is here that you can safely combine summer holidays with the profit from renting out your apartment at any time of the year. Also, all of us are attracted here by a very affordable price. Most families are ready to move abroad, at least because of the quality education and the wide range of jobs.
