Housing prices in Rome have risen by 2.5% over the past year, with the average value per square metre reaching €3,091. The increase was particularly pronounced in the last quarter, with a growth of 1.8%. These figures come from the latest report by the Research Office of idealista, the leading property portal in Italy known for its technological innovation.
Of the 27 neighbourhoods analysed, only three showed price declines: Casal Palocco-Infernetto (-1.9%), Malagrotta-Casal Lumbroso-Ponte Galeria (-1.7%), and Casalotti-Selva Nera-Valle Santa (-1.1%). All other areas recorded increases, with the most significant rises in Garbatella-Ostiense (10.6%), Appio Latino (9.8%), and Prati (9.7%), followed by Nomentano-Tiburtino (9.1%) and the city centre (9%). Other increases ranged from 5.7% in Trionfale-Monte Mario to 0.5% in Eur-Torrino-Giuliano Dalmata.
In terms of prices, the Historic Centre remains the most expensive area in the city, with an average of €7,263/m², followed by Prati (€5,897/m²) and Parioli (€5,656/m²). Twelve neighbourhoods exceed the citywide average of €3,091/m², with values ranging from €4,996/m² in Nomentano-Tiburtino to €3,106/m² in Portuense-Magliana. The remaining districts fall below the average, with prices ranging from €2,936/m² in Prenestino to €1,989/m² in Roma Est-Autostrade, the most affordable area for purchasing a home in the capital.
Rome Province
Over the past year, property prices in the province of Rome have risen by 0.8%, with a sharper increase of 1.5% in the last quarter. Among the 66 municipalities in the metropolitan area monitored by Idealista, 42 registered price increases. The most notable rises in the past 12 months were in Bellegra (21.5%), San Cesareo (16%), Monte Compatri (14.6%), and Ariccia (10.3%). Conversely, 25 municipalities saw declines, with the steepest drops in Segni (-19.1%), Sant’Angelo Romano (-17.7%), Sant’Oreste (-13.5%), and Civitella San Paolo (-11.5%).
Frascati is the most expensive municipality in the province, with an average price of €2,860/m², followed by Grottaferrata (€2,677/m²) and the municipalities near the airport hubs, Fiumicino (€2,611/m²) and Ciampino (€2,525/m²). On the other end of the spectrum, Civitella San Paolo has the lowest average price, at just €771/m².
According to Vincenzo De Tommaso, Head of idealista’s Research Office, “The price increase is due to the limited availability of properties, which has offset the negative effect of high credit costs. For 2025, we expect a gradual and steady rise in prices, accompanied by a recovery in transactions, driven by the first cuts in mortgage rates introduced in the second half of the year and the return of demand, particularly in major cities.”
