According to the Italian Housing Market Survey carried out between 27 December 2016 and 27 January 2017 for 1,507 real estate agents, in the fourth quarter of 2016 the proportion of estate agents that reported an ongoing fall in current and expected selling prices continued to diminish.

Demand conditions improved, and there was a further reduction in the discount on sales prices compared with the initial asking price.

The loan-to-value ratio continues to cover more than 70 per cent of the property value.
Estate agents' opinions regarding the short-term outlook for their own market remained favourable, although there was a marked improvement in the short-term outlook for the domestic market as a whole. Expectations for the medium term (two years) stay optimistic.
