In the worldwide real estate market, the luxury sector has been affected slightly by the global crisis. High-budgeted investors are longing to find real estate properties in natural contexts of matchless beauty. Islands, castles, estates with historic residences – for example in Tuscany, Italy – and villas with private beach and landingplace – for example in Costa Smeralda, Sardinia , Italy – are the most soughtafter typologies. However, owning a palace overlooking the Grand Canal in Venice is the greatest – and most difficult to realize – dream of well-to-do investors.
Castles, islands, villages and estates must preserve the owner’s privacy. They must also be equipped with high tech home automation services that can make the owners’ life easier.
Medium or medium-high standard property investors aspire to buy a loft apartment overlooking Piazza di Spagna in Rome and duplex apartments in Milan, where prices range from 8 to 15 thousand euros per sqm. Posillipo is the most desired area in Naples.
The potential buyer identikit shows that professionals, managers of multinational companies, actors and singers, along with small and medium entrepreneurs are particularly interested in purchasing this kind of real estate properties.
They come from all over the world, but Russian investors are more likely to finally buy estate properties, even if with great care and without haste. They make considered investments. They come with their own experts. They are very choosy about real estate property investment opportunitites. They examine building details and finishings and furnishings. They check the position of the property and the availability of services in the surrounding area.
