After Slovenia became a part of the European Union in 2004 there has been significant interest from Western European buyers in real estate in Slovenian rural regions. From 2004 to 2012, 729 West Europeans had purchased real estate in Pomurska (Lampič et al. 2015, p. 136). Those new homeowners had different motives to migrate to Pomurska, but the most important drivers were low real estate prices, low living costs, and low‐cost airline connections. Some of the newcomers publicised the region back home, which attracted others who also now inhabit the region permanently or as second homeowners. The whole process had an impact on the region and local people (Lampič et al. 2015, p. 136). The new homeowners renovated dilapidated houses in the traditional style, respecting the region's environment and local tradition. Moreover, the process led to an increase in real estate prices in the region, but also to a positive change in the attitude of locals towards the traditional housing in the region (Lampič et al. 2012).
