Prices in Split, a bit further up the coast, also fell sharply, dropping 1.8% from January and 3.1% on the year. The average sought-after price in Split is now 2,058 euros per square metre.
Apartment prices have been steadily falling over the past few years. Compared to February 2009, sought-after prices have dropped 16.2%. Interesting to note was one of the few places to see prices rise was the city of Pula on the northern Adriatic coast.
