The Real Estate Market in Liguria in 2022: A Look at the Performance and Trends

The real estate market in West Liguria, Italy, saw a significant surge in demand and growth in the year 2022. The region, famous for its scenic coastline, stunning views and rich cultural heritage, has long been a popular destination for both domestic and international buyers. The market has been experiencing steady growth in recent years, but in 2022, it reached new heights.

According to the Tax and Revenue Agency, the number of homes sold in the region increased by 13% in 2022 compared to the previous year. This growth was largely driven by an increase in demand from foreign buyers, particularly from France, Germany, Scandinavia and USA. These buyers were attracted by the region’s excellent quality of life, favourable climate and proximity to an International airport.

The average price of homes in Liguria also saw a significant increase in 2022, rising by 7% compared to the previous year. This was driven by a combination of factors, including a shortage of available properties, increased demand from buyers, and rising costs for building materials. Despite these increases, prices in the region still remain relatively affordable compared to the neighbouring French Riviera, making it a better option for many buyers.

Sanremo Music Festival 2023

Twenty-eight artists will compete over five nights from February 7–11, 2023, at the Teatro Ariston in San Remo for the title of Italy’s most popular song contest.

The Festival della canzone Italiana di Sanremo, the event’s official name, has taken place annually since 1951, making it the longest-running annual televised music competition at a national level in the world.
The Sanremo Festival, now in its 73rd year, served as the model for the Eurovision Song Contest, whose winner frequently represents Italy in the European contest, which was last year’s Sanremo, which took place on May 14 in Turin and was won by Ukraine.

Numerous Italian performers have began their careers at Sanremo over the years, including the 2021 winners, the now world-famous rock band Mäneskin, as well as Andrea Bocelli, Laura Pausini or Eros Ramazzotti. The song “Volare,” usually referred to as “Nel blu, dipinto di blu,” which Italian singer-songwriter Domenico Modugno debuted at the 1958 Sanremo before going viral, may be the festival’s biggest claim to fame abroad.
