Bologna residential real estate market shows growth amid shifting economic conditions

A recent conference in Bologna, featuring data from Nomisma, analyzed the city's residential real estate market with a focus on the Navile district. In the first half of 2026, Bologna recorded 3,017 residential sales, a 2.2% increase compared to the previous year.

While demand remains solid, experts suggest the expansion cycle may slow during 2026 due to rising mortgage rates. Despite a potential slowdown in sales, Nomisma estimates that average residential prices in the city could grow by more than 3% over a three-year period. The rental market faces significant pressure, with a growing demand and a structurally limited supply, exacerbated by the expansion of short-term rentals.
