Italy’s Incredible History and Sights Combine to make it Very Attractive to Property Investors, Holidaymakers and Retirees.

When it comes to countries that rank high on holidaymakers’ must-see lists, Italy tends to trump most of them. From the ancient wonders of Rome to the quaint canals of Venice and the renowned beaches of Calabria, Italy appeals too many. The beautiful geography and varying climate also make Italy a favorite for travelers, retirees and holidaymakers. The historic and cultural draws of this country make it very appealing for investors looking at buy-to-let and resale potential. Whilst it too faces ups and downs from time to time, the Italian landscape has long appealed to people from all over the world and history shows this is not likely to change. The overall attraction of Italy for retirees, holidaymakers and other expats makes it very attractive to investors and certainly inspires confidence in the market.

Italy’s Stable Government and European Union Standing Inspire Confidence in Investors in Italian Real Estate.

Although Italy is noted for its very colorful political climate, the government on the whole is quite stable. The republic has been in place for decades. As a founding member of the European Union and one of the world’s oldest cultures, Italy does command respect on the international level. Relations between the UK and Italy are quite strong. In fact, an estimated 5 million Brits make Italy their holidaymaking destination on an annual basis. About 100,000 expats are reported to be living here, as well. This overall stability and status of Italy makes it a favorable climate for investors.

The Italian Property Market is Very Appealing to Investors who Seek Sustainable Areas

The Italian property market is considered pretty solid on the whole. Whilst some areas command higher growth potential and bigger rental returns than others, the demands here remain fairly high. Thanks to its strong tourism industry and natural appeals to expats and retirees, Italian property tends to do very well overall. Rental returns in terms of yield annually range between a very modest 4% to more than 12% in some areas. The growth potential in the southern regions is considered very high right now where holidaymaking is on the rise and buy-in prices are low.

Italy’s Tourism Industry is Long-Standing and Ever-Growing Giving Investors a Strong Strategy

When it comes to European holidaymaking destinations, it is simply hard to compete with Italy. Tourism here is very high and continues to grow on an annual basis. The World Travel & Tourism Council estimates the 2008 value of Italy’s tourism industry at an impressive EUR 211 billion. Estimated growth is about 2% per annum through 2017. Italian tourism dominates a large 3.9% share of the world’s overall demand. These figures are very appealing to investors looking at catering to the holiday making market. The potential for buy-to-let properties doesn’t seem to end when Italy is the investment choice. Plus, the demand for holiday homes is generally quite high in this country.

Potential for Untapped Property Price Growth is Still High in Some Areas of Italy, Especially the South

Whilst it is very true the property markets in Rome, Venice, Milan and other major tourist areas are well developed, the country still offers some untapped potential. The balmy Mediterranean area of Calabria is just now taking off with development and holiday making potential. This is great for investors who want to get in on the Italian market without paying Rome-type prices! Thanks to low-cost air travel potential now available, Calabria is really appealing to tourists, retirees and other expats at the moment. Prices in Calabria for property are considered very favorable for buyers on a budget and the room for growth is incredibly high. Property’s are considered very favorable for buyers on a budget and the room for growth is incredibly high.

Italy’s Climate and Geography Combine to Make it Quite Appealing to Investors, Holidaymakers and Retirees. Italy’s diversity of geography and climate make this a destination many want to visit or move to. The country is considered mostly mountainous, but it does boast a great deal of Mediterranean coastline and an extensive plain in the Emilia-Romagna region. From the Alps to the wonders of Venice and the beauty of Sicily, the Italian geography appeals to many different tastes. Its climate ranges from very continental, especially in the alpine region, to quite balmy and warm in the Mediterranean. The natural beauty and appealing climates make Italy an attractive location for investment, holidaymaking and full-time relocation.

The Easy Access Italy Affords Inspires Confidence in Property Investors and Helps Keep Tourism Figures High.  Italy is very accessible for EU citizens and visitors from all over the world. EU citizens for example, do not require visas and neither to travellers from many other countries. Most major international airports offer direct flights to Italy’s bigger cities. European airports tend to offer low-cost flights as well. In addition, Italy is accessible by train and other modes of transport from many European countries. Even the relatively undeveloped southern regions are opening up to better, low-cost travel options. The ease of entry and access makes this country very attractive for investors looking at buy-to-let and resale potential. Access means holidaymakers can get here with ease and inspecting property is not a huge burden for buyers either.

Cost of Living Tends to Run Lower Than in Other European Countries, Making it Appeal to Investors and of Course Holidaymakers and Expats.  Although the cost of living in Italy is higher than in many other investment and holiday making hot spots in nearby Eastern Europe for example, it tends to compare quite well with its western neighbors. Many say it costs a great deal less to live here than in the UK, for example. This is especially the case for expats and retirees who learn to shop where the locals do. The southern regions are generally much less expensive than the bigger cities. The lower living costs tend to appeal to second home buyers and expats and retirees looking at buy-to-let or purchase potential. This, of course, keeps the door open for investors using several different strategies to enjoy returns from the Italian property market.

The Stable Italian Economy Helps Inspire Property Investor Confidence

Italy’s economy might not be booming, but it is very stable. It is considered the eighth largest economy in the industrialised world. The country enjoys a EUR 1,854 billion GDP with a steady annual growth rate of just under 2%. Unemployment and inflation are both rather low within the country. The overall Italian economy is driven by tourism, manufacturing and agriculture. When a stable climate for investment is desired, Italy tends to appeal.

The Italian Culture and Welcoming People Make Investing in Italian Real Estate Appeal to Many

Italians are no strangers to holidaymakers and investors. From the bigger cities to quaint countryside villages, the Italian people tend to be very warm and welcoming. When holidaymakers, expats and retirees endear themselves to the people, the reception is spectacular. The fabled culture and people combine to make investing in Italy very appealing. Investors with buy-to-let or resale strategies tend to favor Italy for its welcoming atmosphere.

The art, architecture, history and beautiful geography Italy has to offer appeals strongly holiday makers, retirees and expats. As people continue to pour into the country for visits and long-term stays, the property market here remains very attractive to investors with a number of strategies. From its relatively unexplored southern regions to the proven and strong markets of Rome, Milan and Venice, Italy continues to appeal.

Mattia & Associates not only deals with luxury properties in the USA but we have now expanded to Italy as well!  We are working with one of Italy’s top real estate companies called Windrush Alliance.  Windrush Alliance specializes in investment and 2nd home properties throughout southern Italy.  Windrush Alliance only deals with the best developers in southern Italy and have years of experience in the International property market.  Mattia & Associates is proud to be working with a professional, experienced company like Windrush Alliance, and is proud to get our clientele involved in this exciting opportunity to expand there property portfolios.

When it comes to property markets that have a legendary appeal, competing with Italy is nearly impossible. From its beautiful Mediterranean coastline and Alpine vistas to the incredible sights of Rome where Cleopatra, Caesar and Nero once walked, the history, culture and wonders of Italy make it appeal to investors, holidaymakers and expats alike.

The country’s longstanding appeal, stable economy and ever growing tourism industry combine to inspire confidence in Italy’s property market.

LOCAL INFORMATION

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a major tourist attraction in the region; over
9 million tourists and 11 million non-recreational visitors traveled to the park were recorded
in 2003, double that of any other national park. Surrounding towns, notably Gatlinburg,
Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville, Tennessee receive a significant portion of their income
from tourism associated with the park.

Gatlinburg is located just outside Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is a bustling,
year-round resort community offering indoor and outdoor activities for all ages. Gatlinburg
is the second most popular place in America for honeymooners. Romantic getaways,
family vacations, corporate meetings, and honeymoons can be easily accommodated in
Gatlinburg.Pigeon Forge is one of the primary gateways to the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park. Over half of the nearly 11 million visitors to the Smokies pass through
Pigeon Forge, located on U.S. Highway 441, within a day’s drive of two thirds of the
nation’s population. The name Pigeon Forge was derived in 1820 when Isaac Love built
an iron forge on the Little Pigeon River.  Although the forge was dismantled in 1885,
a mill was built around the same time and still operates today using the same machinery.
