Visitor numbers to the towns around Ostuni have witnessed a sharp increase this summer, mainly due to its unique position between the 2 international airports, closeness to the sea and the wonderful undulating countryside. It is not only the English and Irish who seem to be increasingly drawn by the lure of Puglia property- English, Irish, American, French and Spanish accents can now be easily detected in Ostuni, Martina Franca, Cisternino or Alberobello, irrespective of the time of the day. It provides ample proof that Puglia is now firmly established the map not only as a tourist area but also a place to purchase property for long-term investment, as an overseas home or even as an ideal retirement location.
The significant growth in property buyers traveling to Puglia as well as casual visitors to the beautiful south eastern tip of Italy has certainly moved the price of property for sale in Puglia out of the bargain basement area onto the ground floor level. Italian Property expects that over the next 12 months, property prices in Puglia will rise further, and figuratively speaking, possibly move up another 2 floors.
In fact, Italian Property suggests potential property buyers that if they are looking for a good, reasonably priced property inclusive of land, then they should seriously consider buying the property within the next 6 months. The rise in demand for properties in Puglia can also be attributed to individuals as well as companies showing an intent to buy properties with pension funds.
