Property in Italy is a tale to tell in the last few years, and in fact the Italian economy as a whole. Italy is one of the world's top tourist destinations, and this has largely insulated the property market, because it, unlike Spain, was not over developed during the boom. Learn more

When it comes to Brits buying overseas property, Italy has always been up there with Spain but without the fuss. In fact, Brits were buying property in Italy en masse, long before they were buying in Spain. Now Brits are being joined, and in fact beaten by buyers from all around the world, including eastern Europe.

Buying is Different in the Italy Property Market of Today

Foreigners buying property in Italy today are not buying the same type of property, or in the same location as they have for the last 20 years. In the 80s Italy property was cheap compared to Britain and even compared to France. As a result Italian property became popular with middle class people. At the time everyone wanted to buy villas in Tuscany, with the more adventurous buyers going for period properties in need of restoration. Understandably and as we know, Tuscany quickly became too expensive for all but the wealthy second-home buyer. While Italian property prices didn't fall as far as most countries, Tuscany and other prime markets were hit slightly harder. As a result, now that the market is widely believed to have bottomed now is a great opportunity to get in and bag a dream home at a bargain price. In the last few years Calabria sprang onto the tips of our tongues. Calabria property offers the chance to buy property in an established market, but at the prices you expect to find in an emerging one.
