Increased Demand from International Buyers
The increased interest from foreign buyers in luxury real estate is propelling the Italy luxury real estate market growth. Lately, wealthy people from different nations have been exploring the idea of buying high-end real estate in Italy. The country’s abundant cultural background, beautiful scenery, and famous spots such as Tuscany, Lake Como, and the Amalfi Coast are responsible for this growth. These areas are now popular choices for wealthy individuals looking for luxurious properties for either enjoyment or financial gain. Moreover, Italy's Golden Visa program allows non-European nationals to obtain a residence visa by investing in the country, providing added incentive for international buyers in the luxury real estate market. Developers are addressing this trend by initiating exclusive projects targeted specifically at foreign buyers. As per Savills, international purchasers made up 40% of Florence's prime residential market in 2023. By the end of 2023, prime property prices were noted at € 9,600 per square meter, thereby impelling the market demand.
Rise of Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Luxury Properties
Sustainability is emerging as a key factor in the luxury real estate market of Italy. Increasingly, affluent buyers are seeking eco-friendly properties that incorporate sustainable features and align with their environmental values. At present, the majority of luxury real estate transactions in Italy include some form of sustainable element. Properties that carry certifications are also becoming highly sought after in the luxury segment. Developers are increasingly incorporating sustainability and greenery into their projects, not just for regulatory compliance but to meet the evolving expectations of luxury buyers. For instance, in 2023, the 5-star country palazzo resort of Palazzo di Varignana, nestled in the Bolognese hills of Emilia-Romagna, launched six salubrious new villas, each one of which was meticulously restored by amalgamating architecture with contemporary comfort. As a result, this trend is further boosting the Italy luxury real estate market share.
Luxury Tourism Boosting Short-Term Rental Investments
Italy’s booming tourism sector is positively influencing the Italy luxury real estate market outlook, particularly through the growth of short-term rental investments. High-net-worth travelers are increasingly opting to stay in luxury villas and homes rather than conventional hotels, which is fueling the demand for upscale short-term rental properties. This trend is widely adopted in major tourist destinations like Rome, Venice, and Milan, where high-end travelers are looking for upscale accommodations that offer privacy and customized services. Developers are also paying attention and introducing projects that are specifically designed for the short-term rental market. With the increasing trend of working remotely and long vacations, most high-net-worth individuals tend to spend more time in Italy, which is fueling the demand for luxury short-term rentals. For example, in 2024, AirDNA, at Il Sole 24 Ore's request, gathered and analyzed data on more than 1.5 million hosts and property managers. This indicates that Rome boasts the most short-term rental housing with 22,080 units, which is playing a significant role in contributing to the market expansion.
