Property prices in Molise

We asked Nicola Galasso of Galasso Immobiliare — a local real estate agency with years of experiences selling in the area — and he told us that prices per  square metres ranges from about € 300  to € 700 / m², which in today’s Italian real estate market is incredibly low. However it is not unusual to find even more affordable housing solutions.

An example? A detached house of about 100 m² and including living room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, bathroom, cellar and small garden can cost you around € 30,000/40,000 if in need of restoration or € 60,000/€ 70,000 if already habitable.

Unlike some other Italian destinations — for example Tuscany — abandoned rural buildings still abound and can be picked up for amazingly reasonable prices. But it offers different types of houses, also villas and even castles or ex-monastery, or perhaps entire uninhabited hamlets.
