PolandPoland: more homes in the pipeline, less building work — what the two signals mean

GeorgiaA Batumi rental under $60,000: why a 10% yield is not the whole answer

GeorgiaBatumi districts: the highest modeled yield is not the cheapest or most livable choice
A new HomeRadar comparison of seven Batumi districts shows why buyers should set their goal before choosing a location. Its 5 October 2026 project-data snapshot puts Green Cape at a 10% median modeled net yield and a $61,313 typical entry price. Old Batumi has a higher typical entry price of $209,892 but a lower modeled yield of 5%.

GeorgiaA home is more than a price per square metre: a buyer’s test after the UN housing warning
At World Habitat Day on 5 October, UN-Habitat cited its 2026 estimate that up to 3.4 billion people lack adequate housing. This is a global estimate covering different kinds of housing difficulty, not a count of people without a roof and not a measure of Georgia’s property market. Its useful lesson for a homebuyer is narrower: a low asking price says little about whether a home works for daily life.

GeorgiaGeorgia’s two housing markets diverge: Tbilisi sales rise while foreign buyers lead in Batumi
August 2026 brought an 18.9% annual increase in registered apartment transactions in Tbilisi and a 4.3% decline in Batumi. Buyer composition and the distinction between new-build registrations and resales explain why these figures should not be read as a single national trend.
