In the third quarter of the 2015 the housing market has recorded a real exploit, with sales up by 10,8%. This is the figure communicated in the quarterly note published by the Revenue Agency's Real Estate Observatory.
But the good news for real estate does not concern only the "home sector": in the third quarter, the growth of the entire sector stood at 8,8%. There was also a strong recovery in sales of commercial properties (+7,4%), a rate which, however, is lower than the 10,3% recorded in the same period of 2014. A weak increase for offices (+0,9%) and for industrial buildings (2,2%), which despite the "reduced" percentages are back with a plus sign after the strong falls recorded in recent years.
Returning to the residential market, the largest in the real estate sector, after a weak first quarter due to the entry into force of the new regime relating to registration, mortgage and cadastral taxes, the house finally consolidates the recovery trend that began at the beginning of 2015. Naples (+20%) and Milan (+18,2%) performed well in particular. Turin (+15,7%) and Florence (+14,1%) were also positive. With a plus sign also Rome which, however, compared to the other cities, marks a more modest rise with +4,6%.
