Just like with Vlora and Durrës, IllyrianHome still has few active listings for sale in Saranda, with full price and area to calculate our average. This article summarizes what Albanian media sources have reported during 2026.
What the media report about Saranda
According to reports, prices in Saranda generally range from around 800 to 2,000 €/m², with high demand from foreign buyers. New apartments are often reported in the range of 1,500–2,500 €/m², while in coastal areas some reports mention prices up to 3,000–3,500 €/m² for premium units.
Why Saranda is different
Saranda has a very seasonal market focused on tourism/diaspora, with prices that vary significantly depending on proximity to the sea and the age of the building. This makes a single "city average" less useful than in more homogeneous cities.
National context
The Bank of Albania reports an increase of about 41.7% in housing prices at the national level in the first half of 2026 compared to a year earlier — the southern coast, including Saranda, is often mentioned as one of the areas with the highest demand pressure.
What to do now
For Saranda in particular, always look for current comparable listings (proximity to the sea, year of construction, condition) before setting a fair price — the upper ranges are wide precisely because the market is so segmented.
