82 ITALIA! August 2018
The hilltop town of Cervo began
life as a Roman mansion
strong international homebuyer
market. Property-hunters from
far afield have been coming here
for a very long time.
As a long-popular region,
property prices in Liguria have
not been among Italy’s lowest –
especially on the coveted coast. In
recent decades, many buyers cleverly
got round this by snapping up
homes in the sleepy hinterland hills
where bargains abound. Good roads,
and short distances down to the
sea, meant that a home in the hills
Property prices across all parts of the region
are substantially lower than they have been
delivered the best of both worlds
at a very affordable price. However,
the past seven or eight years have
seen a major slowdown in Liguria’s
market in all areas – as the long-
term effects of 2008/9’s international
financial crisis filtered through and
the number of foreign homebuyers
plummeted. The result of all this is
that today’s property prices across all
parts of the region are substantially
lower than they have been for a long
time. So right now would seem to
be something of an optimum time
to buy in Liguria. Because prices are
not expected to fall any further but
at the same time there is a trickle of
buyers beginning to return to the
region which would suggest that
prices might begin to start inching

Casa Antica for many years, says
that the region’s market is “still
depressed and prices are low. Over
the last few years, many property
owners have decided to sell, so
the market is flooded. There is a
constant supply of buyers but there
is a vast choice of property for sale
in all locations. It will take some
years yet for there to be a marked
difference, but Liguria currently
offers wonderful investment
potential as I have no doubt that
the market here will get back to
its previous buoyant level.”
Similar observations are made
by Anne Nathan of The Italian
Property Company, who also
specialises in Liguria. “The market
in Liguria and in Italy as a whole
has been depressed for the last seven
years,” she says. “Prices have gone
down by perhaps a third. This year
