Belgrade | Q4 2015
Residential
Market
Outlook
Austerity measures implemented during 2015 have brought some
positive results, such as reduced budget deficit
imbalances together with weak GDP growth. Implementation of
toughest and unpopular measures, including layoffs in the public
sector and ending the long term process of restructuring companies,
has been postponed for 2016.
After experiencing floods-related recession in the second half of 2014,
negative trends were halted in Q1 2015. Shift in GDP growth
started from Q2 2015 when GDP grew by 0,9% and 2,2% in Q3 2015
y-o-y, based on recovery of mining and energy sectors and faster
manufacturing growth. After the period of serious decline,
construction sector has witnessed revival in 2015, with real GDP
growth of 12.6% in the second quarter and 18.3% in the third quarter.
Industrial production recorded a growth of 7.6% in the first 9 months
of 2015 compared to the same period last year, with the highest
results achieved in mining sector (20.7%) in September. The
automotive industry remains a key export driver as many car pa
manufacturers have decided to locate or expand their business in
Serbia, thus benefiting from competitive labour costs and its strategic
geographical position. Positive progress in 2016 is expected, mainly
on the grounds of consolidated industrial produ
agricultural performance.
Serbia’s FDI inflow increased by 20% in the first 9 months of 2015 in
comparison to the same period in 2014, as a particular consequence
of implementation of reforms in fiscal policy, new construction law
and upcoming new investment law and regulation on land usage
and property rights.
Economy
Outlook
Despite austerity measures, Serbia has recorded modest GDP growth which is

Fostering the business environment improvements, public sector structural reforms and a consolidation of the
banking sector will be major tasks for 2016. Recent opening of the first chapters in EU negotiations is important

Supply
Supply
Record low supply of only 4,370 apartments in metro area of
Belgrade in 2014 can be considered as a result of the massive influx
of new units in 2012 and 2013, mainly due to the completion of
government financed project “Stepa Stepanovic” in Vozdovac
municipality.
Prolonged cycle of recovery coupled with renewed recession in 2014
and fiscal consolidation measures in 2014/2015 have had a negative
impact on overall market confidence, leading to a visible slowdown
in construction activity and buyer’s demand.
Residential

Activities aimed to support housing market, such as government financed affordable housing projects and
subsidies for home buyers, have not delivered sustained results.
New supply has achieved a record low performance in 2014, together with 17% decline in number of mortgages
being released. Mortgage activity in 2015 does not indicate a change, which is partially a consequence of

2015 was a year of fiscal consolidation and range of incentives for
first homebuyers was halted in 2014/2015. Salary cuts for public
administration and public sector workers and cancellation of
subsidized loans have hampered mortgage financing for many,
despite exceptionally low interest rates offered by banks. Having in
mind average loan amount of EUR 33,000 it is clear that the lower
end and medium market segment has been mostly affected.
In the first 9 months of 2015, the mortgage activity in Serbia (n
of approved loans) remained at the same level compared with the
same period last year and totaled 3,967 loans (according to the
National Mortgage Insurance Corporation), which is still 22% less
than in the same period 2013. The biggest obstacle to mo
households getting onto the housing ladder is not the cost of
mortgage payments but the level of deposit required, which is
currently 20%.

designed to help more people to get on the property ladder, have
had limited effect in 2015.
On the other hand, few higher quality residential products offered to
the market have revived the upper-middle class demand, showing
that the best quality/price ratio can bring a viable success. Also, this
can be an indicator of the maturing residential market and the
evolution of buyer’s demand toward more sophisticated products.
Upper middle projects appeared as best performing segment of the
market in the moment. In these projects we saw an increase in off
plan sales, as number of developers have managed to sell most of the
apartments before the buildings’ completion. Such transactions took
place mainly in projects with good track records.
Government austerity measures imposed, will continue through
2016, making the demand for affordable housing very fragile.
Expected return to steady economic growth in 2016, underpinned by
lower interest rates, will continue to boost demand for upper
class properties.
Prices & Affordability
Price decline has been slowed during 2014, while stabilization and
slightly positive trend is visible for schemes that benefit from good
location and quality. Average price correction in the first 9 months of
2015 was 2.6%, compared to Q4 2014 and 3.3% when compared to the
same period in 2014.
The local real estate market has consolidated over the last 12 months
as the gap between owner/landlord asking prices and rents and the
expectations of buyer/tenant has narrowed.
As can be seen from the graph below, current prices are at the level
of the first half of 2007.
