The growth of real estate prices

In recent months, property values on Lake Garda have seen an average increase of 2.6 percent. This increase was mainly driven by the Trentino shore, which saw a 3.2% increase, followed by the Brescia shore with +2.8% and the Verona shore with +2.2%. These figures highlight a healthy market, where demand exceeds supply, creating a favorable environment for investment.

Factors influencing price increases

Several factors contribute to this growth:

• Foreign demand: An increasing number of buyers from Eastern Europe and Northern Europe are investing in properties on Lake Garda, attracted by the quality of life and investment opportunities.
• Infrastructure investment: Redevelopment projects and new infrastructure are improving the attractiveness of lake resorts, increasing property values.
• Interest in tourism: The growing popularity of Lake Garda as a tourist destination has prompted many to look for second homes or properties to rent for tourism purposes.

The most popular locations

Desenzano del Garda

Desenzano del Garda is one of the most sought-after locations, thanks to its strategic location and vibrant social life. In the hamlet of Rivoltella, demand is balanced between those looking for a vacation home and those who want an investment. Prices for lakefront villas and apartments can reach 5,000 euros per square meter, making this area particularly competitive.

Sirmione

Sirmione, famous for its spa and castle, has seen a decline in prices for used housing, but demand remains high, especially from buyers from Eastern Europe. The most sought-after areas, such as Colombare and Lugana, offer properties with prices ranging from 4,000 to 10,000 euros per square meter, depending on location and features.

Salo and western localities

Salò and surrounding locations, such as Moniga and Manerba, are experiencing an increase in demand, with prices ranging from 2,500 to 6,000 euros per square meter. Here, investors are mainly looking for two- and three-bedroom apartments to be used as vacation homes or for short rentals.
