MARKET FOR LUXURY REAL ESTATE IS HOT DURING THE SEASON"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"color: #4f4f4f;\">There is a shortage of luxury flats that are offered for rental in the quiet city centre of R\u012bga and in Old R\u012bga, so potential renters are forced to think about an alternative \u2013 flats in new buildings outside of the city centre.\u00a0 In J\u016brmala, in turn, there is great demand that is in part based on the New Wave music festival, and so unusual transactions are being concluded for unimaginable prices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #4f4f4f;\">The demand for luxury-class flats in R\u012bga exceeds supply.\u00a0 Potential renters are interested in classical flats which have been renovated and are found in equally renovated buildings in the quiet centre of R\u012bga.\u00a0 Expert Evita Pudane from Baltic Sotheby\u2019s International Realty claims that there is an insufficient number of offers in this regard.\u00a0 For that reason, potential renters are focusing their view on new buildings outside of the centre of the capital city.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #4f4f4f;\">The budget of renters who wish to rent a two or three-bedroom flat is between EUR 1,200 and EUR 3,000, or between EUR 10-12\/m<sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0per month.\u00a0 They are interested in renting flats for one year or longer with the opportunity to extend the contract once it expires.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #4f4f4f;\">\u201cThe demands of potential renters are at a fairly high level,\u201d says Pudane.\u00a0 \u201cThat means that benefits that are based on sensible compromises are received by those owners who are prepared to deal with the rental fee or the desire of the renter to replace a sofa or chandelier at the owner\u2019s expense.\u00a0 If the relationship between price and quality is adequate, the flat is rented out within no more than one month\u2019s time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #4f4f4f;\">It is also true that construction of buildings is proceeding very actively in J\u016brmala this year.\u00a0 \u201cNew buildings are being erected actively in J\u016brmala, and many of them are almost complete,\u201d says Baltic Sotheby\u2019s International Realty co-owner Ilze Mazurenko.\u00a0 \u201cThat means that next summer we can expect a larger number of rental apartments in the town, but we predict that the new buildings will not change prices.\u00a0 There is still a lack of high-quality flats in the spa town, and that means that the prices will remain at the same level as in previous years \u2013 around EUR 5,000 to 6,000 per month.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #4f4f4f;\">Mazurenko adds that the New Wave competition this year has dictated the rental market in J\u016brmala for a short period of time.\u00a0 The enormous popularity of the event and the absence of high-quality offers sometimes mean that non-standard offers are made. \u201cWe recently concluded a transaction related to the rental of a house for one week (during the competition for young performers) for more than EUR 25,000,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #4f4f4f;\">The rental market in J\u016brmala has remained almost the same as in previous years this summer.\u00a0 Most renters are families with children, with the family living in the flat permanently, and the head of the family staying there on weekends.\u00a0 Renters are surprised at high prices and the fact that real estate which they visit sometimes is not prepared for rental.\u00a0 That is usually the case when owners offer a home in which they themselves live.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #4f4f4f;\">\n<p style=\"color: #4f4f4f;\">Potential renters also focus on other nuances, including communal services.\u00a0 \u201cThose should be included in the rental fee,\u201d says Mazurenko.\u00a0 \u201cThe fee can be a bit higher because of this, because people who are prepared to spend EUR 10,000 to 15,000 for a holiday in J\u016brmala deserve a situation in which they do not have to think about minor everyday issues.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a shortage of luxury flats that are offered for rental in the quiet city centre of
