Hey everyone, I’ve been thinking a lot about moving to Batumi next spring because of a job offer, and I’m trying to understand how realistic it is to find a decent apartment without overpaying. When I visited last year, I stayed in a small rental near the old town, and the owner told me that prices change a lot depending on the season, which honestly surprised me. I’ve been browsing listings lately and trying to compare areas, but it’s still a bit confusing to figure out what’s actually fair. I also came across this platform https://kalaki.ge/en while checking options, and it made me curious if anyone here has used similar resources when searching for housing in Georgia. How did you decide on your place when you moved?

I don’t have personal experience renting or buying property in Georgia, but I’ve been following discussions like this because I find the real estate situation in fast-growing cities pretty interesting. It seems like places such as Tbilisi and Batumi are changing quite quickly, especially with new buildings appearing in different districts every year. From what I’ve read and heard from friends, it also creates a bit of uncertainty for newcomers since prices and availability can shift depending on demand and even tourism seasons. Still, it looks like both cities have a lot of variety, which probably makes them attractive for different types of people looking for housing options.
I’ve been in a pretty similar situation, especially when I was considering relocating to Tbilisi for a few months. What I noticed is that the biggest challenge isn’t really finding listings, but understanding which ones are realistic in terms of price and condition. Some apartments look amazing online but feel very different in person, so I started focusing more on visiting places directly instead of relying on photos. I also talked to a couple of locals who gave me honest feedback about neighborhoods, which helped a lot in narrowing things down. In the end, taking time to compare different areas made the biggest difference, especially when balancing comfort and budget.
