FAQ
Market intelligence questions.
Is the Georgian market about to crash after the 2022–2024 boom?
The data points the other way. Growth has flattened into stable +4% YoY in Tbilisi, and forecasts project a normalized 3.2%–4.5% — a maturing market, not a correcting one.
If I buy, can I actually sell later?
Yes. The secondary market now makes up 63% of all transactions, with 49,200 resale deals, showing real resale liquidity rather than trapped capital.
What returns are realistic, not marketing?
Citywide Tbilisi gross yields sit at 7.42%–8.2%. Individual districts range from around 5.5% in premium Vake to 10%+ in affordable Gldani/Samgori.
Where do I get the highest yield versus the safest capital?
Highest gross yield: Gldani/Samgori and short-term tourism stock in Old Tbilisi. Strongest capital preservation: Vake. Batumi adds tourism upside but with seasonality.
Is Georgia exposed to an interest-rate or mortgage crisis?
Minimally. With mortgage rates near 11.85%, over 80% of purchases are cash or interest-free installments. The market runs on equity, not leverage.
Why is Batumi priced higher per sq m than parts of Tbilisi?
Batumi’s primary market is dominated by premium branded apart-hotels, pushing turnkey prices to around $1,865/sq m and Old Batumi to around $3,028/sq m.
How reliant is the market on foreign money?
In Batumi, foreign buyers are 52% of primary sales. Tbilisi demand is more diversified across local urbanization, expats, students, and business travel.
What is the catch with Batumi headline yields?
Seasonality. The 7.4% average compresses into the summer peak, so operator quality and occupancy management are critical.
Where is this data from?
Q2 2026 figures are compiled from NAPR, Geostat, GNTA, and the National Bank of Georgia, alongside TBC Capital and Galt & Taggart source materials used for GeoEstate’s market model.
Which projects will actually appreciate as supply grows?
Projects with superior infrastructure, amenities, location, and hospitality management are more likely to hold pricing power. Commodity buildings will compete on price.
