Ravenna, 18 June 2024 – “The premise is that the price range is very wide. Let’s say that the monthly rent of a two-room apartment for a family is a Cervia – July or August – can go from 1,600-1,700 euros, up to 2,900-3,000”.
The picture of the tourist rental situation is outlined Nazario Fantinipresident of Confcommercio-Ascom Cervia. “There are many variations at play, you just need to get a hundred meters closer to the sea and the price changes. Let’s also take into account that there is also an offer of old apartments, built in the 70s and with old furnishings, very different from the new properties built”. It is said that “those who have recently purchased a home rarely rent it out”. Overall “80% of tourist rentals have a duration of 2-3 weeks”.
They exist, he continues Jockeys in his reasoning, two types of customers: “The first book contacts the agencies at the beginning of the year. He is looking for the most beautiful apartments for the summer, for longer periods – from the month onwards – and has significant spending capacity”. Then there is a period of bookings during long weekends (April 25th and May 1st), and a subsequent decline, which sometimes comes close to zero. “Sometimes the month of May is completely at a standstill from the point of view of tourist rentals.” It then resumes in June, with last minute rentals.
“And with the heat, we have noticed, requests increase, especially from those who live in the city. Overall it will be a good season.” The years of Covid they were those of the boom for tourist rentals, “because no one felt like spending their holiday in a hotel”, understood as shared spaces. The tourist season “has been starting later than usual for some time, ending in mid-September”. Sales chapter: according to an investigation conducted by Ascomto Cervia a new or renovated residential ranges from a minimum of 2,800 euros per square meter to a maximum of 5 thousand; used residential (maximum 20 years) ranges from 2 thousand to 3 thousand euros; the residential to be renovated from 1,600 to 2,500, the offices from 1,300 to 2,500 and the shops from 1,200 to 4 thousand. “As far as I know, the buying and selling market is going well, it’s thriving.” Fantini asks the new Cervia administration to pay attention “towards the tourist, for whom the best possible policies will be implemented”.
