According to the Italy magazine analysis of property advertisements placed on Italymag.co.uk has revealed where foreigners are typically buying property in Italy - with some surprising results.
The analysis revealed that Italians buy main homes in the cities and second homes by the sea or the ski slopes, overseas buyers taste is also very similar to that of Italians as they prefer farmhouses, restored country villas, period townhouses, large farmhouses and rustici or managed apartments in the countryside .
Tuscany is the most popular location with nearly one-fifth of the total number of adverts, and Abruzzo, the small central region beats better known locations such as Umbria to gain second place in the popularity ranking, with 19.1% of all properties advertised.The reason for this success is the moderate price of Abruzzese property as it is also listed as the third most affordable region with the average price of a property listed in the magazine being 227,174 euros (£200,153). Basilicata and Calabria provides affordable properties and has gained first and second spots respectively , while Tuscany and Campania boast the priciest properties.
