Italy's housing market heating up says report

Italy's housing market heated up last

year, according to a report on property sales in Italian cities

by the National Council of Notaries, which ANSA has had a sneak

preview of.

It said property sales increased by 7.8% in Rome, 5.63% in

Milan, 8.88% in Turin, 6.42% in Bologna, 6.93% in Naples and a

whopping 25.91% in Palermo.

In a separate report last month the notaries said sales on the

Italian real-estate market as a whole were up by 6.6% in 2025

compared to the previous year.

It said the rise in property transfers was driven by a 18.8%

increase in the number of mortgages granted, with the total

climbing to 404,530 last year.
