The concepts explained in this paper refer to the market, the real estate market, the legal aspect of the functioning of the real estate market and the role of the real estate market in the onset of the economic crisis. The market as a place where buyers and sellers interact to determine commodity prices, in this case real estate is of utmost importance to the overall economy. It was this unfavorable situation in the US real estate market that triggered the economic crisis. Negative consequences have spilled over to national economies around the world, which after that event began to record numerous losses. The economy of the Republic of Croatia was also hit by the crisis and there was a marked decline in the real estate market compared to the pre-crisis period. The number and price of real estate depends on location, type, age and size. Thus, in the territory of the Republic of Croatia different structure of real estate is visible, depending on geographical location. Inland, forest and agricultural land predominate in the interior of the continent, while flats and apartments and construction land predominate along the coast and the city of Zagreb. Due to its specific features, Croatia with its diverse and rich spatial characteristics is an extremely attractive area for real estate trading.
