In terms of market research and updates, with the help of Knight Frank’s globally recognised Research team, we’ve delved into what 2021 looked like for the Italian real estate market and the emerging trends we can expect to see grow in the year ahead - from low-maintenance homes to how important a good view is to buyers considering a property.
How has the Italian market performed over the past year?
House prices in Italy are strengthening, following several years of subdued growth. A survey by the Banca d’Italia reveals that 83% of agents report prices are either stable or increasing. Knight Frank’s Italian team have witnessed an increase in enquiries, viewings, offers and agreed deals since the start of the pandemic, despite the challenge of travel restrictions. This uptick in activity is backed up by new data which shows properties are selling at their fastest rate since 2012. Previous indecision on the part of buyers has been replaced by a willingness to commit to purchase decisions that will enhance their lifestyle.
Knight Frank’s Global Buyer Survey confirmed Italy was the fifth most popular global destination for international buyers considering purchasing a second home. The pandemic has shone a spotlight on outdoor living, the importance of health and wellbeing, time with family and friends as well as the benefit of reconnecting with nature, all key elements of an Italian lifestyle.
