Houses for sale in Albania

There are 1,279 houses and villas for sale in Albania, with a median asking price of €459,000 and a typical band between €275,400 and €750,000. Detached houses are a smaller, more expensive market than apartments: most of the stock is around Tirana, in the villages ringing Durrës, and on the coast south of Vlorë, where sea-view villas set the top of the range.

A three-bedroom house in Albania has a median asking price of €380,000, a four-bedroom house €534,000 and a villa with five or more bedrooms €450,000. 148 houses are listed under €200,000 and 297 under €300,000.

Houses and villas are a smaller and more expensive segment of Albanian real estate than apartments; land and commercial property in Albania have their own pages below.

The house market splits into three very different products. Around Tirana you find new villa developments in the hills of Farkë and along the Tirana to Durrës corridor, aimed at families who want a garden within commuting distance of the capital. On the central coast, houses are mostly older village homes and plots with a building on them, often priced for the land rather than the structure. On the Ionian coast, houses are holiday villas and the price is set by the view.

A house is usually sold together with its plot, and that is where foreign buyers need care: a built house and the land under it can be bought by a foreigner, while bare or agricultural land generally cannot be held directly. Older houses may also have parts that were never legalised. Both points are routine for a local lawyer to check, and the cost is small compared with the price of getting it wrong.
