# Market and Investments > An asking price alone cannot tell you whether a property is a good purchase. Location, condition, additional costs and your plans for it all matter.

The aim is to help you compare options and identify what to investigate before investing, without promising a guaranteed return or a perfect time to buy. - Web page: https://urbaniagent.rs/en/blog/category/market-and-investments - Language: English - Other language: https://urbaniagent.rs/blog/kategorija/trziste-i-investicije.md ## Articles - [What can you buy in Belgrade for €100,000 in 2026?](https://urbaniagent.rs/en/blog/what-can-you-buy-in-belgrade-for-100000-in-2026.md) (2026-08-31): A €100,000 budget in Belgrade can mean around 20 square metres in Vračar, a small apartment in New Belgrade, or 40–50 square metres and more further from the centre.
