The Tbilisi property market is several parallel markets rather than one "average price per m²" figure: resale in the centre, new-builds on the outskirts, private houses in the suburbs. Blending them into one statistic is a reliable way to draw the wrong conclusion about your specific case.
What drives demand
- An inflow of foreign buyers and relocators looking for housing for themselves or as an investment.
- Infrastructure development in specific areas: a road, a school, a shopping centre nearby raise a location's appeal faster than the city average.
- A shortage of private houses near the centre against growing demand, hence the active development of suburbs like Digomi and the Lisi Lake area.
- The lari's exchange rate and the broader economic situation: many see property as a way to hold capital in a physical asset.
Why a "city-wide average price" is misleading
The price per m² in Vake and in a far suburb differs several times over, so averaging across the whole city doesn't help either a buyer or an investor decide. The right question isn't "what's the price in Tbilisi" but "what's the momentum in the specific area and segment I'm interested in."
What this means if you're building or buying now
Growing demand for private houses in the suburbs is both an opportunity (land more affordable than within the city) and a reason not to delay a decision in locations already developing fast. More on specific formats in Investing in construction and A house for rent.
Against the resale market the benchmark is house construction prices per m²; how that adds up to a decision is covered in Is Georgia worth investing in. Considering buying or building in a specific area? Let's discuss your situation. This is a consultation, not investment advice.
