Market rebound: Italy’s residential transactions reached 548,288 in the first three quarters of 2025 , a 9.2% increase compared to the same period in 2024.

Rental yields: The average gross residential yield in Italy reached 9.2% in late 2025 , driven by rents increasing faster than property prices.

Como international interest: Approximately 23.8% of property searches for homes in Como come from international users, making it one of the most globally demanded cities in Italy.

International rental demand: Around 19.3% of rental searches in Como originate from international users.

New construction in Como: Newly built homes in Como average €5,000/mq , which is significantly higher than the overall average purchase price in the area.

Como home prices: Average home prices in Como are €2,944/mq, ranking it among the top-priced provincial capitals, though below cities like Milan (€5.184/mq) and Venice (€4.877/mq).

With a 9.2% jump in market transactions and nearly a quarter of buyers coming from abroad (that % is even higher for luxury markets), we’ve got incredible liquidity and a global safety net that most other Italian areas just don't have.

There is a huge price premium on new builds in Como (€5,000/mq vs. €2,944/mq), which means the real money is in developing or high-end modernizing rather than just sitting on older stock. The “Green” bonus might be at play here as well.

We still might be looking into a strong opportunity for rental markets (the gap is huge).
