"Azerbaijan is one of the most undervalued yet promising markets in the region.
Baku is developing at a rapid pace: new seaside projects, growing rental demand, and limited supply provide investors with stable returns of 6−9% per annum.
The Sibris district is one of the city’s most prestigious locations. Premium infrastructure, a European-style atmosphere, and low competition in the quality housing segment make properties here highly liquid for both rental income and long-term capital growth."

For clients seeking high returns on a moderate budget, Baku is a strong and logical alternative to the region’s overheated markets.
