As we leave the annus horribilis of pandemic and social confinement behind us, the Italian real estate market is showing increasingly clear signs of recovery and liveliness. If already 2021 has given great satisfaction in terms of transaction numbers and their value, 2022 bodes well for a further propulsive thrust to the brick. What is striking, once again, is the dynamism of Lago Maggiore real estate market, with a steadily rising demand.
But let's find out in more detail what the forecasts and trends are for 2022, according to experts from the real estate agency Engel & Völkers.
One of the main changes caused by the pandemic to the domestic real estate market relates to the priorities and needs of buyers. In the residential as well as in the luxury real estate market, values such as space, well-being, safety and quality of life have begun to dictate the pace in the search for properties for sale.
In this new perspective, the interest of buyers has begun to move more and more from city to small towns, even better if near lakes, sea or green areas. Benefiting from this change is precisely the real estate market of Lago Maggiore which, as early as 2021, has begun to influence foreign and non-foreign buyers, also attracting a substantial slice of the market which, until recently, was interested in more famous and touristic locations such as the nearby Lake Como.
The price also contributes to the growth in demand for houses for sale Lago Maggiore: with the same characteristics and value of the properties, the prices of the latter are far less expensive than those in Lake Como area. The forecasts for 2022 would confirm this trend, with demand in constant growth as early as the second half of 2021.
But who are the buyers most interested in buying properties at Lago Maggiore? Also according to the forecasts for 2022, foreign buyers will continue to represent the majority, followed by buyers from the neighboring areas of Piedmont and Lombardy.
As for the characteristics of the typical buyer of Lago Maggiore houses, usually these are buyers with many economic possibilities who hardly resort to credit, looking for a high quality of living for themselves and their family. These are customers who are increasingly interested in purchasing a spacious first or second home, equipped with a garden, often including a swimming pool, gym, technological equipment and where comfort and safety are a priority. Buyers interested in a second home that can, if necessary, become their main residence set up for smart working are also increasing.
As for the most demanded properties at Lago Maggiore, also for 2022 the trend sees a growing interest in detached or semi-detached real estate solutions, equipped with outdoor spaces (terrace and garden), with large sizes and a high number of rooms. The fact that it is a recently renovated house or a property of artistic and architectural value is also decisive in terms of the property's appeal: just think of the splendid historical villas at Lago Maggiore or the new eco-friendly buildings. The most popular housing solutions are in fact confirmed the newly built three-room apartments, independent houses with gardens and prestigious historical houses.
In an increasingly luxury-oriented market such as that of Lago Maggiore, all these features are destined to become anything but optional, but real must-haves.
