The Italian real estate market: diversity, quality of life and strong demand
Italy has around 59 million inhabitants (as of 2024) and is characterized by a stable demand for high-quality residential and vacation properties. Regions with good infrastructure, economic dynamism and a high quality of life are in particularly high demand. These include not only large cities such as Milan, but also charming cultural cities such as Vicenza or regions close to nature such as South Tyrol and Lake Garda.
International buyers particularly appreciate the excellent quality of life, the Mediterranean climate, the diverse architecture and the opportunity to use real estate as a vacation or investment property. Our independent estate agents know the regional characteristics of the Italian real estate market inside out and can provide you with expert advice on all matters relating to buying, selling or valuing properties.
Regional differences: Where is it worth buying real estate in Italy?
1. Bolzano: living in the heart of South Tyrol
Bolzano combines Alpine charm with Mediterranean flair. The provincial capital of South Tyrol offers a high quality of life, a bilingual culture and excellent infrastructure. Whether city apartments, modern new-build projects or traditional homes in the surrounding communities, Bolzano is particularly attractive for families, commuters and nature lovers. Demand is high, particularly due to the limited building land resources in the region.
2. Milan: Italy's economic and fashion metropolis
Milan is one of the most dynamic cities in Europe. As a financial center, trade fair city and cultural hotspot, the metropolis attracts international companies and professionals. The real estate market is correspondingly diverse: from exclusive city apartments in districts such as Brera or Porta Nuova to elegant apartments in old buildings and modern lofts. Investors in particular are benefiting from the strong demand for rental properties.
3. Vicenza: culture, crafts and high-quality residential areas
The city of Vicenza, known as the home of architect Andrea Palladio, is synonymous with elegant architecture and high-quality living. The region offers a stable economy – characterized in particular by industry and crafts – and at the same time attractive quiet locations. Properties in Vicenza range from stylish historic townhouses to family-friendly detached houses and exclusive villas in the surrounding hills.
4. Salò on Lake Garda: Mediterranean lifestyle in an exclusive location
The region around Salò on western Lake Garda is one of the most sought-after residential and vacation property locations in Italy. With its charming lakeside promenades, excellent restaurants, impressive villas and modern apartments, Salò offers a special lifestyle. Demand is high, especially for properties with lake views, private gardens or direct access to the water.
