Italian real estate Market Report H1 2021

Overview

Italian economy, similarly to any other European economy, has been dependent on the implementation of the vaccination campaign during the first half of the year. The gradual re-opening, specially during the second quarter of 2021, led to a quarterly +2.7% GDP growth.

Regarding the Italian real estate market, the impact on the different real estate sectors was very diversified: while hospitality set negative records with unprecedented drops in touristic arrivals and room occupancy, the residential sector held on, performing better than expected in terms of transactions; the logistic segment is the one who looks better, with a growing trend that strengthened even further in 2020 and 2021.
