The comment
According to Vincenzo De Tommaso, head of idealista's Studies Office, "The growth in house asking prices is cooling down, after the steady rise in interest rates has made buyers more reflexive, having gradually lost purchasing power in recent months.
The replacement market was particularly hard hit, while those needing a home Immediately revised their plans, gave up a few square metres or moved to more peripheral areas, but still bought. Opportunities for investors (including foreigners), on the other hand, who could take advantage of this moment in the market to snatch up bigger discounts when buying and selling, which could be good news for those looking to buy a house without having to take out a mortgage.
For the next 3-6 months we anticipate a stabilisation or slower growth of prices in the centres or areas of higher housing demand, declines in the rest of the country where demand was already weak. In any case, there will be a substantial rebalancing of housing supply and demand after the rapid changes in the market in the post-pandemic period".
