The question of the year and the next decade? It is true that this exceptional crisis has blocked many homes around the world and in France. To resist confinement financially, people were forced to take weeks of forced leave so as not to have too significant a loss of salary and even to avoid losing their jobs. Result: the French remained stuck in France at home! My parents, for example, realized that they were ultimately living in a city that was not very pleasant to live in on a daily basis.
Yet they have lived in this city for over 40 years. But it was by spending months and months in this same city in a small area close to their house that they realized that the living environment was not up to par. Not enough natural space, commercial area close but far from the sea, far from nature… all that is GONE. They decided to sell their house in the city to “expatriate” to the sea, near a pine forest and they bought a property with a view of the sea.
1- Real estate in the city?
Following the COVID-19 crisis, many people in Europe and around the world have lived in difficult conditions, whether alone, as a couple or with family, in sometimes cramped properties, lacking gardens, vegetation and nearby natural area.
After the massive rural exodus that we have experienced in recent decades, it is true that the classic format of the citizen today is this: living in the city, in an apartment or a studio, with 4 or 5 neighbors on a common wall. , view of concrete.
All this with an exorbitant rent or monthly credit payment, breathing polluted air, listening to incessant noise, that of cars, buses, other people in the same situation in this race against time that we lead above all to his family, for himself to survive, to live and prepare for a future which seems to be better otherwise why do all this?
Staying confined in these conditions seemed truly unbearable and even abnormal to us! All of a sudden, living in the countryside and close to nature no longer becomes cheesy, boring, but vital…
The urban nightmare
2- What does it look like in the city?
So I grant you, work and activities are still in the city, and here we are not yet talking about a massive exodus from the cities to the countryside, no, even if Paris has been losing 10,000 inhabitants per year for 5 years for example.
Thus living close to nature becomes or becomes again a primary need and was already a luxury for those who could afford it before the Corona crisis. Having yourmain or secondary residence close to the sea, in the mountains, close to a protected natural area is ultimately a fundamental pillar for a home long before the beautiful car…
And of course, to own a property that has these qualities, you need money. The Parisian, the Nantais who wants a second home near the sea in La Baule for example, you will have to put on the table at least 120,000 euros for a studio of 15 or 20m2 and not necessarily very close to the sea… And in addition for a studio to renovate. I’m not talking to you about house prices…
L’expression de la nature au Monténégro
When it comes to nature, Montenegrois today a must-see. Do you know many places, where you have the sea, the countryside, the mountains and its ski resorts less than 3 hours by car when you are on the coast?
3- A property close to nature
When we think about the natural diversity present in Montenegro, having the borders closed for a few months does not deprive us of such diversity and it is an opportunity to be able to access it without crossing any borders. But let’s move away from the exceptional and towards the usual.
Owning a property in this environmental framework without breaking the bank is also Montenegro. Primary or secondary residence, for a new studio of 15 or 20 m² near the sea,you will have to pay 45,000 or even 35,000 euros depending on the opportunities available. A 70 m² house with an old-fashioned style, to be refreshed, can be found for 90,000 euros. The same house, without work, could cost 150,000 or 170,000 euros.
For fans of villas surrounded by nature, Montenegro has what you need.

Even if we are talking about higher budgets here, you can also find happiness in this type of real estate which is not rare in Montenegro. In the end, it doesn’t matter what type of property you want to acquire. What we have understood thanks to or because of this global health crisis is that proximity to nature is a crucial point in choosing an investment.
Whether for ourselves or for our children, a health crisis at the sea, in the mountains or in the countryside can quickly turn into an extended vacation. Meanwhile, those in town feel like this is turning into a “prison” stay…
4- You live in the city
IF you live in the city, you can leave that city life behind very quickly. Currently, it remains quite easy to sell real estate located in the city. You will get a good price, and you will have a substantial budget to buy one or even two properties later. This is why we can consider this crisis as an opportunity for many. The real estate market will experience a “vital” evolution to respond to this return to “natural” sources.
And even if some will continue to live in the city for work or for children who have all the schools necessary for their learning, a second home will become a necessity here if it is not already the case.
5- Your second home in Montenegro
The idea for each of us is not to own a property where it will rain every day or too often.Enjoying a second home regardless of the current situation, it’s always better when a favorable natural climate accompanies you. The more sunshine there is, the less depression there is. It’s hard to lose morale in Montenegro, even if you don’t have to work for two months. The Mediterranean atmosphere is already a major psychological support. So if you plan to prepare for the next confinement or more simply for a better quality of life: a n investment in Montenegro could change your life.

All this, surrounded by nature, but close to a city, a commercial area, an airport. Being connected to nature, while remaining connected to the world. These are some of Montenegro’s advantages.
