Not sure it's just those EU funds.

As Serbian/Dutch with wife from Croatia - I can definitely say that prices didn't rise only in Croatia.

Basically same % rise in (non-EU) Serbia, and The Netherlands.

Possibly elsewhere too - but NL/CRO/SRB is where were have family and spend enough time to really know.

Croatian price increases are topping the EU stats for years now and it accumulates, especially in real-estate. There are some comparable situations in EU, but overall I would say comparable countries like Italy, Spain, Greece did not have nearly as much price growth in the same period.

For example - personal opinion disclaimer - if Spain had better tax scheme for small business (not really sure on the nomad status there, but I am more interested in long term) I would probably move because the coastal cities in Spain are much better for similar prices, I would rather live in Valencia than Split/Rijeka/Zadar/Dubrovnik/Pula.

		Our house in The Netherlands is now 3x more expensive than 13 years ago - from ~€200k to ~€600k. We got lucky to move to NL and then buy house just around the time when post 2008 crisis was at the lowest point. Some houses are only 2x more expensive than back then. Meanwhile apartments in Belgrade Serbia are now similar to price of apartments in Amsterdam/Amstelveen/etc from 10-15 years ago. From what I've heard from friends and family - more of the same across France, Germany ...etc.
