Georgia is on this list for one reason: it is the easiest entry of everything here. A foreigner buys an apartment on the same terms as a citizen, registration of title takes a day, and the tax burden on ownership is light. The restrictions apply to agricultural land, not to housing.

The market is of a fundamentally different scale, though. Tbilisi and Batumi are cities, not global hubs, and the tenant is local or relocated rather than a corporate expatriate. That changes both the stability of the rental stream and the speed of resale.

In our own material Georgia mostly appears as a reference point: what buys a studio in Dubai buys a full apartment here — and the useful conversation is about what exactly you are giving up for that difference.

The caveat: Lari currency risk and a narrow tenant pool: cheap to enter, slow to leave.

Questions

Georgia: questions and answers

Can a foreigner own property in Georgia?

Apartments — no restrictions on foreign buyers. The title is a property of the specific project, not of the country as a whole: what the contract says outranks the word "freehold" in a brochure, and that is the first document to read. The detail is in the write-up above.

What is Georgia for in a portfolio?

Cheap entry. The lowest entry threshold on the list and the simplest transaction for a foreigner. That answers "what job does this market do", which is a different question from "where is the yield highest": markets on this list run on different currencies, different liquidity and different exit horizons, and a single percentage cannot be compared across them.

What is the catch with Georgia?

Lari currency risk and a narrow tenant pool: cheap to enter, slow to leave. We put that in writing rather than in the small print, because it is usually the thing that decides whether the market suits a particular buyer at all.

What have you seen in Georgia yourselves?

Mira Verde, Tbilisi Hills, Tbilisi, Batumi. That is what we have been to and filmed. Where we have not been, the page carries ownership law and market structure and says nothing about the buildings — we do not rewrite other people's reviews as our own visits.

Why are there no prices or yields on this page?

Because we hold no transaction database for this market, and passing a third-party market summary off as our own analysis is not something we do. We compute figures only where we hold live stock — in Dubai, where medians and entry prices are recalculated nightly and published on the district pages. Here you get the rules, the role of the market and what we have seen for ourselves.

Comparing this market with Dubai

Tell me the budget, the horizon and what the purchase is for. Where the answer is Dubai I will say so with numbers from our own stock; where it is not, I will say that too.
