The things a price table cannot tell you: how long the season runs, who else is buying, and what can go wrong.
| Dhërmi | Himarë | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A boutique resort held up by festivals rather than mass tourism | The municipal centre: shops, school, a population that stays |
| Official valuation | Disputed — our sources place it at both a town rate and a village rate, so we publish neither | Revalued by 141% in one revision, the largest jump in the southern sample |
| What sets the price | First line and the festival calendar | View and distance from the water, not floor area — a 35% discount two streets back |
Short-let investor: Dhërmi. The Kala and ION festivals bring a UK audience that pays resort rates, but only across a few weeks.
Year-round buyer: Himarë. It is a town with a winter population; Dhërmi is a beach that empties.
Anyone buying here at all: Engage a lawyer first. Restitution in this municipality was never resolved, a mayor was arrested and an ex-mayor charged over coastal land.
