There\u2019s no single right answer here \u2014 the best size depends on your goal: maximizing yield, minimizing vacancy risk, or building long-term capital value. Here\u2019s how each stacks up against 2025\u20132026 Tbilisi market data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Studios generally offer the lowest entry price and can post strong per-square-meter yields, since a small footprint still commands a meaningful base rent in central districts. They rent quickly to single professionals, students, and short-term visitors. The tradeoff: studios are also the segment where developers build the most supply, so competition among landlords for tenants can be intense, particularly in areas with a lot of new-build inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Data from district-level analysis shows one-bedroom apartments in Vake generating around 5.98% annual yield and in Saburtalo around 5.85% \u2014 in both cases outperforming their two-bedroom counterparts. One-bedrooms combine a broad tenant pool (young professionals, couples, some students) with a manageable purchase price, and they tend to be the most liquid size both for renting and for eventual resale. For most homeowners asking \u201cwhat\u2019s the smartest size to hold,\u201d the one-bedroom is usually the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two-bedroom units in the same district analysis showed yields closer to 5.33% in both Vake and Saburtalo \u2014 a meaningful step down from one-bedrooms. But two-bedrooms unlock tenant segments one-bedrooms can\u2019t: families, particularly in Vake near international schools, and shared-living arrangements, particularly in Saburtalo near universities. They also tend to hold value well over long periods, since family-sized housing stock has structurally been in shorter supply than compact units in many central districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
