JTRE ranked No. 1 in the ranking of top-selling developers for the past year, specifically between April 2024 to March 2025. “Last July, we talked about the market’s re-ignition, which came after two years of stagnation and decline. The sales figures and the results achieved in the second half of 2024 continued to convince us of this,” says Ivan Bratko, Director of Residential Property Sales. “The real estate market was significantly accelerated by the VAT rate at the end of last year. For those who were thinking of buying an apartment, it was the perfect time to speed up the decision to buy and avoid the higher tax,” explains, adding that investing in real estate still offers many advantages that make it one of the best options for ensuring financial stability.
Real estate brings stability and security, as its value tends to increase in the long term. This is confirmed by the increase in the average price compared to the previous period. “An investment in real estate – in addition to the rising value of the home – can also generate a regular income through rent, which can cover the cost of the mortgage and generate a profit at the same time. This makes property investment one of the most attractive options for long-term capital appreciation,” concludes JTRE’s Director of Residential Sales, adding that a good example is the Ovocné sady project, which was successfully sold at the end of last year
In the first quarter, the most successful of JTRE’s portfolio of projects was the Downtown Yards project, which is enjoying popularity for over a year and occupies the top positions in the sales of projects in Bratislava. “At the end of last year, we released one – and two-bedroom apartments in blocks B and D for sale, which turned out to be a very good strategic decision,” says Ivan Bratko. “We have been achieving excellent sales results in the Downtown Yards project for a year now thanks to the combination of consistently favourable prices, high material and technological standard of the apartments and the many benefits that the project will bring to its residents,” says Bratko, adding that the interest of clients is growing along with the visibility of the buildings, which are already rising to the surface and the progress of the construction is becoming more noticeable every day. The Downtown Yards project established itself in the market as one of the best-selling projects shortly after sales started. In addition to the aesthetics offered by the modern architectural design of the premium GFI studio, the generous public space designed by LABAK, which integrated a lot of greenery into the project in the quiet courtyards facing the existing development of houses, appealed to most buyers.
