Milan Is No Longer About Growth — It’s About Resilience
Many foreign buyers start with the same idea:
“I want to invest in Milan — prices are high, the market is booming, so returns must be great.”
But Milan today is not a city of explosive returns. It’s a city of sustained value and low volatility — where real estate performs more like a strategic asset than a speculative one.
Property in Milan is expensive not because it guarantees high profits, but because it holds its value when other markets decline.
Property Prices and Market Reality
In well-established areas, prices have already reached a plateau:
€5,000–9,000 per square meter, depending on the district.
Finding a well-located apartment in good condition under €200,000–300,000 is increasingly difficult.
Budgets up to €150,000 often mean compromising — smaller units in less desirable neighborhoods.
Rental yields typically range between 2.5% and 4% gross, depending on area and property type.
That makes Milan a solid but low-yield market — ideal for investors who:
- Want to preserve capital in a stable European currency;
- Don’t plan a short-term resale;
- Prefer predictable performance over volatility.
Long-Term Strategy: Where Value Still Grows
If your investment horizon is five years or more, focus on:
- Redevelopment areas with improving infrastructure;
- High-quality residences with amenities, appealing to younger tenants and professionals;
- Properties with renovation potential, where upgrading interiors can increase liquidity and resale value.
You’re unlikely to see a sudden price jump — but you will own a reliable, easily sellable asset that retains its worth even during market shifts.
Milan: Investing in Stability
In today’s uncertain world, stability itself is a form of profit.
Milan remains one of the few Italian cities where the combination of strong demand, limited supply, and long-term liquidity protects your investment over time.
