This pie chart shows the latest data from 2017 for the average sale times of houses in Italy
The question of how long houses and flats are on the market before they get sold can be answered by the Real Estate Market Report 2017 from the Italian Federation of Real Estate Agencies (Federazione Italiana Agenti Immobiliari Professionali or Fiaip), prepared jointly with Enea and I-Com.
By analysing the period between the date a property is put up for sale on the market and the date when the pre-agreement for the purchase is signed, the data collected in 2017 reveal the following percentages of the average time for the sale of homes:
- Less than one month: 4%;
- From 1 to 3 months: 15%;
- From 3 to 6 months: 36%;
- From 6 to 9 months: 30%;
- Over 9 months: 15%.
