The data concern the first three positions of these categories: the type of house, the number of rooms of the apartments, the regions, the cities, the dimensions and the prices of the houses for sale and for rent.
According to the study, Italians are primarily looking for three-room apartments. Two-room apartments are placed in second place, while four-room apartments are in third place. The villa and the detached house follow. Even if "speaking of size - Casa.it explains - the searches start from houses from 51 to 100 m101, to move on to those from 150 to 26 m50 and to those from XNUMX mXNUMX to XNUMX mXNUMX".
The same data is also confirmed by Tecnocasa, according to which the three-room apartment was the type most purchased by families with 35,2% of preferences. In second place, however, in this case there are villas, cottages and houses which overall account for 20,8% of transactions, just above the four-room apartments which amount to 19,9%. The studio apartment is much further down, with 2,2% of the preferences.
As far as the price range is concerned, the Casa.it ranking sees houses with prices from 100.001 to 200.000 euros in first place; per second, homes from 50.000 to 100.000 euros; to the third those from 200.001 to 300.000 euros. In terms of rents, on the other hand, the greatest interest concerns houses with monthly rents between 401 and 600 euros, followed by those between 201 and 400 euros and between 601 and 800 euros.
