italy tipped as top spot for investors
News Posted On: 27 October 2008
Buyers thinking of purchasing a property overseas may wish to consider looking into the options available in Italy.
According to the BuyAssociation website, the Mediterranean nation is an attractive option for investors and for those who want a second home for lifestyle purposes.
The online portal noted that the south of Italy is a particularly popular emerging market, with regions such as Calabria drawing a great deal of interest.
This part of the country has a number of attractions, such as the good weather, beautiful scenery and a solid rental market.
Having a steady demand for the property from tourists and locals may make an area such as this worth considering for those focusing on the investment potential of their homes overseas.
BuyAssociation commented: " Italy has stepped away from the cliches and stood up to its detractors to bring a fresh face to the overseas property market."
In related news, the Daily Telegraph recently pointed to Sicily as an area that could experience growth in the next few years due to golf tourism.
