# Apartment Prices in Batumi in 2026: How Much Does Seaside Housing Really Cost
What the statistics show
According to Galt & Taggart data for the first quarter of 2026:
Primary market: around $1,803 per m² (up approximately 8.7% year-on-year). Secondary market: around $1,470 per m² (up approximately 7.8% year-on-year).
Demand remains high: according to Colliers Georgia, 7,838 apartment transactions were registered in Batumi in the first half of 2026, up 11.4% compared to the previous year.
What determines the price
1. Distance from the sea. First-line properties cost significantly more than second- and third-line ones.
2. Stage of completion. A foundation-stage property is cheaper than a completed building, but carries higher risk and a longer wait.
3. Type of finishing. Black frame, white frame, green frame, or move-in ready can differ by thousands of dollars. See which finishing to choose.
4. Neighborhood. New Boulevard, the city center, Makhinjauri, the airport area, Gonio, and Chakvi vary noticeably in price.
5. Floor and view. A sea or mountain view can add tens of percent to the price.
6. Developer. Reputation affects both the price and the resale liquidity.

Why a low price per square meter isn't always a good deal
A low price may indicate a remote location, an early construction stage, or weak liquidity. Compare not only the $/m², but also the completion date, rental potential, and total costs.
