House prices in Italy, in the first quarter of 2024, recorded an increase of 0.6% compared to the same period last year, thus settling at an average price of 1,850 euros per square meter. But, as you can imagine, the situation varies significantly depending on the geographical areas. In which municipalities are searches for a home most concentrated and which ones have the most expensive sales prices? The answer comes from an idealista/data report that he analyzed the most expensive and most popular locations in Italy to buy a house in the first quarter of 2024.
The study, in detail, focused on adverts published on idealista, leading real estate portal for technological development in Italy. The report examined the data available for Municipalities that have advertisements with an asking sales price, on average, higher than 875 euros/m2 and for which there is a stock of advertisements of properties for sale of over 975 units on idealista ( and more than 50 for rent).
Thanks to this analysis it was possible to draw up the ranking of the 100 Municipalities that have generated a greater relative demand index (contacts via email and shares) per announcement and of those in which the average of the final selling price it is taller.
The most popular locations to buy a house
In detail, the relative demand index implemented by idealista/data summarizes the pressure of demand on supply in each area of Italy for the house for sale segment. The indicator is based on the number of leads (contacts via email and shares) received per ad.
As regards the municipalities requested by those looking for a house to buy, the report crowns Rome on the top step of the podium in cohabitation with Verona, the two cities totaling a relative demand index of 3.5. Immediately after, we find Bologna and Lecce, both with an index of 3.4. And then again Naples (3.3), Cagliari (3.2) and Como (3.1). To find Milan you have to go down to eighth position, with a relative demand index of 3.
The municipalities where, on the contrary, the lowest relative demand indices are totaled are:
- Cervia (0.5)
- Bagheria (0.5)
- Alassio (0.5)
- Novi Ligure (0.5)
- Mass (0.5)
- Marsala (0.5)
- Agrigento (0.49
- Forte dei Marmi (0.3)
The most expensive places to buy a house
The most expensive municipality in Italy for those who want to buy a house is confirmed, as has been the case for some time, Forte dei Marmiwhere to purchase a property for residential use an average amount of over 1 and a half million euros is required, a clear sign not only of the exclusivity of the area (the municipality in the province of Luca is also the one with the lowest relative demand index ), but also large sizes and luxurious properties.
The rest of the podium in the ranking of Municipalities with the highest average price of houses for sale also remains unchanged compared to the last quarter. Even in the first quarter of 2024, in fact, the silver and bronze medals will respectively go to Pietrasanta (669,089 euros) e Alassio (493,352 euros). Also in this case, the rest of the podium, as is easy to observe, is completed by places with strong appeal and prestige on a tourist level.
Immediately below the podium, we find one of the main Italian and European markets more generally. In fact, it is in fourth place in the ranking Milan. In the Lombardy capital the final price of houses is 480,919 euros on average, while Venice is in fifth place (472,194 euros). To find Rome you have to scroll down the ranking to 26th place, with an average request of 305,859 euros for house for sale adverts.
