Access income-producing property, strong rental demand, a 5% rental tax regime and same-week ownership registration in Georgia's capital. Tbilisi Home helps international investors acquire, manage and optimize residential real estate — end to end.
Investors want evidence, not adjectives. Three demand engines drive Tbilisi's rental market — a fast-growing economy, record tourism, and a rising international resident base.
Georgia averaged roughly 9% annual growth from 2021–2025, and Tbilisi is where that growth concentrates — head offices, banking, tech and the country's deepest employment market. Business relocation and foreign investment convert directly into housing demand.
Tourism (a record 5.52M arrivals in 2025) powers short-term rental demand. But the long-term market stands on its own: expats, international employees, students and relocating families. Two independent demand pools — you are not dependent on Airbnb.
EU & UK visits grew 14% in 2025; international buyers took roughly a quarter of Tbilisi primary-market sales in 2026 (Galt & Taggart). Foreign residents overwhelmingly prefer professionally managed, fully furnished apartments in central districts — exactly the product Tbilisi Home operates.
Specific rules, not vague promises. This is the regulatory environment an international buyer actually operates in.
| Factor | Georgia |
|---|---|
| Foreign ownership | ✓Freehold ownership of apartments, houses and commercial property — same rights as citizens. Only agricultural land is restricted. |
| Purchase processVisa / residency requirement | ✓None required to buy. Remote purchase by power of attorney is standard practice. |
| Property registration | ✓National Agency of Public Registry — typically 1–4 business days, fees from ~$20. No notary chain, no months-long conveyancing. |
| Rental income tax | ✓5% on gross residential rental income for registered individual landlords (vs. 20% standard rate). |
| Capital gains on sale | ✓0% after 2+ years of ownership; 5% if sold within 2 years (individuals). |
| Inheritance & gift tax | ✓None between close family members (I–II line relatives). |
| Annual property tax | ✓0–1% of market value, scaled to household income — exempt below GEL 40,000 household income. |
| Residency optionUpdated March 1, 2026 | ✓Real estate of $150,000+ qualifies for a renewable 1-year residence permit, spouse and children included. (Threshold raised from $100k for applications after March 1, 2026.) |
Tbilisi is not "cheap real estate" — it is an emerging European capital where meaningful, income-producing assets are still accessible at entry prices most European capitals left behind a decade ago.
Five districts, five different investment theses. Official district price data (Geostat, Q4 2025) combined with current rent levels (Galt & Taggart, Feb 2026).
Most brokerages sell you a property and disappear. We operate it — so owning in Tbilisi doesn't require living in Tbilisi.
