New-build homes in Tbilisi, from Geostat’s Residential Property Price Index.
Price per m² by district — new-build flats
Source: Geostat (National Statistics Office of Georgia), Q1 2026 average offer prices per m² for newly built flats. USD amounts are approximate, converted at today’s NBG rate. District figures will be updated to Q2 2026 from Geostat’s data tables.
What this means
- Prices keep rising, but calmly. New-build prices grew 4.9% in a year, a steady pace rather than a boom.
- Location matters most. A square metre in Mtatsminda or Vake costs roughly 1.6–1.9 times as much as in Samgori or Gldani.
- Since 2020, prices are up about two thirds in GEL. Compare this with the GEL/USD rate above if you think in dollars.
- These are offer prices, not final sale prices. Real deals can be lower after negotiation.
Security brief — Q3 2026
What happened in crypto security from July to September 2026, and what it means for your money.
Largest incidents of the quarter
The Bitget hack alone was about 31% of all losses. Attackers broke in through a weakness in a third-party security product, obtained internal credentials and faked withdrawal orders from the exchange’s hot wallets. Bitget paused withdrawals on 24 September.
Trends to watch
- Deepfake scams are exploding. TRM Labs reports that losses from deepfake scams in 2026 are already about 263% above 2025 levels. Fake video calls and cloned voices are now cheap to make.
- A few big hits drive the totals. Most of the money is lost in a handful of very large attacks, often on exchanges and infrastructure rather than on individuals.
- Insurance is thin. Losses are rising, while the safety net to cover them remains small.
What this means for you
- Even big exchanges get hacked. Keep long-term holdings in self-custody and use exchanges only for trading. Not your keys, not your coins.
- Verify every unusual request. If a video call or voice message asks for money, a transfer or your seed phrase, hang up and confirm through another channel you already trust.
- Never share your seed phrase and never approve a transaction you don’t fully understand, however official the request looks.
- Check your setup each quarter. App-based 2FA instead of SMS, an offline backup of your recovery phrase, and only the apps you really use.
