Gjilan or Prishtina: how much the apartment price differs

One of the first questions for any buyer choosing between cities is simple: do I save by buying in Gjilan instead of Prishtina? The short answer, according to dated market data, is usually yes — but the figures need to be read carefully.

What the market says (July 2026)

According to market commentary for July 2026, Prishtina reaches up to about 2,500 euros per square meter in the most expensive areas. Gjilan is described as a city at a mid-range level, usually cheaper than Prishtina, Prizren, and Peja. No specific figure is given for Gjilan alone.

Earlier media reports (around 2025) mentioned a range of approximately 700 to 900 euros per square meter for cities like Gjilan, Prizren, Gjakova, and Ferizaj — but these are asking prices, not official statistics, and new premium developments may exceed that range.

General trend

According to the Kosovo Agency of Statistics (ASK), residential property prices rose 5.3% compared to the same period a year earlier in the first quarter of 2026. This shows a growing market, but the pace varies from year to year and from area to area.

How to read the comparison

Saving on price is not the only thing that counts. Distance from work, commute time, and the supply of new apartments matter just as much. If Gjilan suits you for living or for proximity to family, the price difference is an additional practical reason.
