What does housing quality mean for real estate 投资? In 科索沃, where the ownership rate is high, in addition to the construction of "new housing", the strategy of purchasing, renovating and selling old buildings or renting them for high prices (to expats) carries a serious return (ROI) potential.
Which 行业s stand out in the construction materials 市场? 12% of households experience roof and moisture problems; It makes 科索沃 a "constant demand center" for exporters of waterproofing membranes, roofing systems, PVC/Aluminum window frames and construction chemicals.
What should the urban and rural strategy be like? The fact that rural houses are larger (4.2 rooms on average) but more prone to structural problems (13.7%) necessitates construction 市场 chains and construction material distributors to turn not only to the capital 普里什蒂纳 but also to regional networks (Prizren, Peja, Gilan, etc.).
