There is optimism among the operators of the Sardinian real estate market despite the situation of the war in Ukraine and the expectation for the launch of the new government. House prices in Sardinia show a small sign of recovery, albeit timid, but all in all positive.
“The construction and real estate sector had a good time thanks to the tax breaks of the various bonuses, super bonuses and favorable mortgage rates. Facilitations that we as a Federation are trying, with political action, to make them structural ”, explains Angelo Bianchi, Regional President of Fiaip Sardegna , the Italian Federation of Professional Real Estate Agents.
“ Property prices are holding their valuation with a slight rise despite the increase in interest rates on fixed-rate mortgages. We cannot hide the fact that we are concerned about rising inflation and rising energy costs and we expect the new government to take measures to facilitate the purchase and strengthen existing ones. It would be appropriate - says Bianchi -, given that the 'home' investment always remains the one with the most appeal for Italians, both as a home to live in and for its rental profitability, that a Ministry of Housing be established ”.
The post-pandemic effects are also reflected in the search for the type of property to buy: we are looking for a 'livable' house that is no longer just for sleeping. “In Cagliari, for example - explains Giancarlo Laconi , owner of Capital Sardinia Immobiliare - there is a great desire to return to the city with a good demand for houses in the downtown areas equipped with all services. We are looking for a house with a spacious veranda or terrace, with spaces for work and study for the children ". In short, the comfort of a livable home “because the lockdown highlighted the claustrophobic stress”.
Even in Sassari the requests are for comfortable and spacious properties, even if often the wishes of those who want to buy a house are always achievable. “The pieces are quite stable - explains of Fiaip di Sassari - and there is a slight increase for the prestigious properties in the historic center. Sassari, however, has a particular market also due to the demand for houses outside the city with gardens and large green spaces ".
