| City | Population | Price benchmark, m² | Rental Yield | Who It's For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tbilisi | 1.09M | $1,100–3,150 | 6–9% | Business capital, maximum liquidity |
| Batumi | 153K | $1,200–3,000 | 7–10%* | Resort — *with a caveat on short-term-rental oversupply |
| Kutaisi | 148K | significantly below the capital** | insufficient data** | Growing market, airport hub — **data less transparent |
| Rustavi | 125K | the most affordable entry** | insufficient data** | Functional market, not touristic — **data less transparent |
How to Read This Table
Tbilisi and Batumi are covered by several independent analytical reports that converge on similar price ranges — these figures can be trusted as a benchmark. For Kutaisi and Rustavi, there's no such stable analytics yet: the market is real and growing, but check the exact price against specific properties, not averaged online estimates.
If your goal is maximum liquidity and predictability, the sensible choice today is Tbilisi or Batumi. If your goal is the lowest entry threshold and you're willing to invest more of your own time in verifying a property, look at Kutaisi or Rustavi. There's no universal "best city" — only one that fits a specific goal.
Before Choosing a City — Understand the Process
Regardless of the city, the buying process, taxes, and the path to residency via property are the same across the whole country — worth understanding once, not separately for every city.
