The distribution of luxury real estate supply in Italy is rather homogeneous, with a slight prevalence of apartments to villas. This is highlighted by the latest analysis conducted by LuxuryEstate.com. Currently, the luxury stock in the Belpaese is composed of about 53% apartments and 47% villas, percentages that have remained almost unchanged from the beginning of 2019 to the end of 2024. Compared with the pre-pandemic period, the supply of luxury apartments in Italy increased by 51% when compared with the numbers at the beginning of 2019, with the Northeast and the Islands posting the most substantial growths, +129% and +125%, respectively. The Northwest also experienced a substantial increase over the period, at +63%. Looking at villas, on the other hand, the available stock increased by 54% between the first half of 2019 and the end of 2024, with moderate rises in the Northwest and the Center, while substantial in the Northeast (+87%), but especially in the South (+115%) and the Islands (+121%). If we consider three large cities such as Milan, Rome and Florence, we can see that apartments definitely prevail: in fact, in the Milanese capital they make up as much as 99% of the total stock, while in the Capital and the David’s Florence they amount to 89% and 73%, respectively. By contrast, in other areas, such as Versilia or the Emerald Coast, villas account for more than two-thirds of the area's total.
