Taking the big step into real estate investment is undoubtedly exciting for anyone: it is a choice that can make a real difference for one’s future and for that of loved ones.
When asking where to buy in order to have better chances of seeing the investment pay off, Italy is among the top answers: its charm, intact for centuries and destined to remain so, has no equal worldwide.
Looking more closely at the various regions, it is impossible not to notice the strong figures associated with Tuscany.
More and more international buyers are choosing houses to buy in Tuscany, focusing on high quality right from the very first stage of research: the time when people browsed through social ads is over. Today, those who want to buy property in Italy for investment purposes look to vertical portals, where only highly reputable real estate agencies publish their listings.
This also applies to Tuscany which, as shown by authoritative data such as those from the Tuscan Residential Market Insight, is among the Italian territories most at the center of interest for buyers from all over the world (often with strong purchasing power).
With property transactions for investment purposes growing every year, albeit not at spectacular rates, Tuscany is popular for several reasons. Among the main ones is undoubtedly its landscape appeal: between the sea and gentle hills, this region is home to a variety of natural wonders that are often unspoiled.
Not to be overlooked is also the appeal of a human-scale pace of life, which can be experienced especially in small villages.
It is no coincidence that these settings have been chosen by several Hollywood actors, eager to spend time away from the spotlight, in places where, in many cases, they can walk down the street without being recognized.
The best locations to invest
When talking about the best locations to invest in real estate in Tuscany, a necessary mention goes to cities such as Florence and Pisa, characterized by the presence of internationally renowned schools and universities and very high quality standards.
In both cases, these are cities with excellent air connections abroad, an additional reason for many families to purchase property locally for their children’s academic years.
For the sake of accuracy, it should be noted that rental yields – considering, for example, a 65-square-meter two-room apartment – are slightly lower in Florence compared to cities such as Livorno.
This is an easily explained figure and is due to the fact that, in the regional capital, short-term rental contracts aimed at a tourist target tend to prevail.
The main challenge for investors
The main challenge for residential real estate investors in a unique context such as Tuscany, which is attractive both for short-stay tourists and for those seeking a home, even for rent, where they can spend long periods during the year, concerns the choice of locations with affordable prices and strong rental figures.
Among these we find places such as Castiglioncello, without forgetting the Maremma area and the Mugello region.
The profile of the real estate investor in Tuscany
Another interesting point when discussing real estate investments in Tuscany is that home buyers are not always multimillionaires (whose demand nevertheless remains significant, thanks in part to the appeal of the flat tax).
Very often, they are families who have set aside substantial sums of money and intend to leave something to their children (low levels of trust in financial investments also play an important role here).
For younger buyers, energy efficiency is a priority.
Overall, there is a growing tendency to bypass renovation costs, preferring turnkey property solutions.
