There is an increasing number of major real estate assets available at online auctions, ranging from Luxury Resorts and exclusive Hotels to historic residences and villas for events and ceremonies. These types of auction properties represent unique opportunities for both Italian and international investors. This is because, according to estimates from the specialized website Redfin, the luxury real estate market never faces a crisis. Quite the opposite, in fact, both abroad and in Italy. Consider the 2% increase in the Luxury Estate market recorded in the USA during the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. A trend that, according to Redfin's estimates, is also emerging in Italy. It is predicted that the luxury real estate market in Italy will reach €5.5 billion by 2031.

The Observatory on the Luxury Residential Market in Italy has also identified potential investment assets: the "Living" sector has grown by +15%, reaching a total of €1.2 billion. There is also an increase in the purchase of spaces dedicated to Offices, strategically located for commuting. Additionally, the Hospitality and Retail sectors are on the rise, attracting investors seeking to provide increasingly luxurious services.

Given this trend, online real estate auctions for large-scale and luxury properties are becoming increasingly prestigious opportunities for investors. From northern to southern Italy, online auctions offer major assets such as Historic Villas, Luxury Hotels with Beauty Farms, Golf Clubs, and Swimming Pools, as well as Historic Chapels and wineries with land.

Let’s explore some of them together!
