buy a small house or studio near Belgrade for around $10,000?

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for advice from locals, expats, or anyone familiar with the Serbian property market.

I would like to know whether it is realistically possible to buy either:

A small house near Belgrade, or

A 1-bedroom studio apartment in the outskirts or nearby towns

with a budget of around USD 10,000.

If this budget is not realistic, I would really appreciate guidance on:

What would be the minimum investment required to buy any livable property (house or apartment) near or around Belgrade

Which areas or towns might fit a low-budget buyer (even if 30–60 km away)

Additionally, I am looking for recommendations for:

Authentic and reliable real estate agencies or agents

Professionals experienced with foreign buyers, transparent pricing, and proper legal checks

Any practical advice, real examples, warnings, or contact suggestions would be very helpful.

Thank you in advance for your insights!
