Hi Everyone,

Russian buyers of international properties often encounter the major difficulty of transferring money abroad because of the sanctions imposed on Russian banks. Hopefully it’ll be easier soon, but right now there are ways too, as Russian realtors say.

Anyway, here are the most popular among Russian buyers countries for purchasing international properties according to the data from Prian, the largest Russian portal for advertising of international real estate.

1.Turkey

2. UAE

3. Montenegro

4. Thailand

5. Bulgaria

6. Spain

7. Italy

8. Egypt

9. Cyprus

10. Georgia

Finland was a very popular destination for Russian buyers in the past, but since the government of the country stopped issuing visas for Russians, they stopped buying.

Egypt is growing in popularity as a resort country. One can buy an apartment near the warm sea there for about 20 or 40 thousand euros, and many Russians consider such purchases as an alternative for staying at a hotel for their vacations.

Thailand is the fastest growing real estate market for Russian buyers of international properties. In 2024 the country is in the top 5 for the first time. The reasons are the following: easiness of closing contracts, direct flights and high profits from rentals.

To your best business success,

Sincerely,
