The current context of the real estate market
Over the past two years, the real estate market has faced significant challenges, with a steady decline in sales. However, the latest analyses suggest that 2025 could bring a positive change. According to Tecnocasa’s research office, housing prices are expected to increase between 0% and 2%. This increase will be more likely for valuable, newly built properties located in well-serviced areas. The reduced supply on the market, due to the buying rush of previous years, helps to support real estate values.
Sellers’ expectations and spending capacity
Despite the positive outlook, there is a gap between sellers’ expectations and buyers’ spending capacity, especially in large cities. This discrepancy could extend sales times, a phenomenon already observed in 2024. Even in the municipalities of the hinterland, a possible increase in prices is expected, as these areas continue to attract buyers looking for cheaper and more comfortable solutions than urban centers

Real estate investments and leases
Real estate investment remains an attractive option, both for those who opt for short and long term rentals. However, an increase is expected in the number of landlords who, after choosing short rentals, could move towards the long-term rental market. Tourist resorts continue to register strong interest from foreign buyers, which could further stimulate the market. According to Fabiana Megliola from Tecnocasa, the desire to buy a house persists, despite
macroeconomic uncertainties.
Forecasts on rents
As far as rents are concerned, continuous growth is expected, supported by robust demand and reduced availability of real estate. Cities with a high number of tourists could see a significant increase in rents, while the quality of rental properties will play a crucial role in raising prices. Tecnocasa expects an increase in values between 4% and 6% in large cities, with Turin and Naples recording the
most significant increases.
Conclusions on future trends
In summary, the real estate market for 2025 presents mixed prospects. While housing prices may rise, challenges related to the spending capacity of buyers and the availability of real estate remain. Investors and potential buyers will need to navigate an evolving landscape, taking into account local dynamics and emerging trends
