The Studio De Tanti reports and the numbers confirm that at a national level the market for mountain properties is experiencing a boom, with prices proving resistant to both inflation and interest rate rises. In post-Covid times the need to identify healthy areas in which to invest is slanting the market towards second homes in the mountains which appear in every respect a safe and secure haven. At a local level Studio De Tanti’s findings, from the most active real estate agents in the area, paints a very positive picture. “The market is experiencing increase in values” Andrea De Tanti confirms, “Particularly considering the rise in inflation which is pushing people to invest in property to preserve the purchasing power of their savings”. “At a national level” he continues, “2023 is likely to close with a contraction of sales of around 15% compared to 2022, from 784,000 down to 670,000. If we focus the survey on the local context, looking at the numbers recorded in our study, the situation is stable with identical figures between the first half of 2023 and the first 6 months of the previous year”.
 

For 2024 the expert predicts a very slight decline in sales of second homes at a local level, counterbalanced by the growth in first homes. “If we turn our attention to renting, demand remains very high,” De Tanti informs, “and in this regard our agency is developing a formula capable of providing guarantees to owners reluctant to let their properties for fear of arrears or damage”. Strong demand and limited supply are thus contributing to a revaluation of even the more far-flung pockets in the area, where more accessible prices have allowed people with smaller budgets to enter the market. “Our agency is a market leader” he concludes, “we have been active since 1978 and offer assistance to anyone who intends to buy or sell with a package of services covering every stage”.
