Hence leading to average age when getting married in Croatia to be around 30 years old.. growing by +1 yearly, statistically.

However, at least in Croatia.. real estate prices for coast and few big cities are 2000ish EUR / m2, but you can buy a big fucking house in small city for PEANUTS (I'm speaking of like 20 000 eur for whole 200 m2 house or such).

I'm even wondering if I'm crazy to live in Zagreb because of it.. I could probably trade my apartment for a villa elsewhere.
This is the way the US is as well. Big cities or coastal areas are usually expensive but the rural states housing is very cheap.
