In an ever-evolving social context, the Italian real estate market is undergoing profound changes. Homeownership is no longer a central priority for Italians. The demand for rentals is increasing, while the supply remains insufficient to meet the needs, and the average length of time tenants stay in the same property has slightly increased.
Especially among young people, owning a home is no longer seen as a fundamental value. The traditional triangle of values—secure job, homeownership, and family—that characterized previous generations is losing relevance. Although Italy still has one of the highest homeownership rates in Europe, the gap with Northern European countries is narrowing.
