• Engel & Völkers Venezia confirms a trend of strong growth of real estate transactions in 2017.
• Cannaregio, Dorsoduro and Castello districts are the most appealing areas.
• Not only foreign customers in Venice, in 2017 there has been a strong increase in local customers too.
The Italian real estate market continues to grow with an increase in sales of +8.6% (Source: Revenue Agency's Real Estate Market Observatory) and the international real estate brand Engel & Völkers confirms itself as one of the most vibrant real estate companies. The positive trend of 2017 will continue and consolidate during 2018 with an increasing number of transactions. The strong positive trend had already been announced at the end of the first half of 2017 also worldwide: total net commission of the international Engel & Völkers Group reached 667.8 million euro (+31.9% compared to the same period of 2016) and the Italian market recorded a strong growth of 47.2% (26.1 million euro reached FY17 compared to 17.7 million FY16).
Engel & Völkers Venezia follows the growing national trend in real estate brokerage and the "City on water" confirms its appeal to the world of Real Estate.
Venice has always been considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world and it is one of the most appreciated thanks to its artistic treasures and its strategic position in the north-east of Italy and the charm of the lagoon. The uniqueness of the canals, in fact, and the great artistic value of the heritage confirm Venice among the most desired cities not only for foreign clients but also for local customers (in continuous growth) and the trand maintains a steady rise with respect to the previous years.
The target achieved in 2017 is significant from the economic point of view but also for the high number of completed transactions, clearly growing compared to 2016, also thanks to a significant strengthening of the staff of the agency Engel & Völkers Venezia, implemented through an accurate selection of dynamic collaborators, highly motivated and with a deep knowledge of the territory and the real estate market in the lagoon.
The increase in the work team, the careful selection of properties in the portfolio and the synergies of the international Engel & Völkers network, are the keys to the 2017 success in Venice, but also all over the world. The areas of greatest interest for residential purchases are the Cannaregio district, followed equally by the artistic district of Dorsoduro and the residential district of Castello.
But the city of Venice is not only interesting for foreigners or tourists (most coming from France, Belgium, United Kingdom, Luxembourg, Austria, Germany): in fact the year just ended saw the growth of the satisfaction rating of local customers who represent the 20% of the total.
The goal set for 2018 is to significantly increase the intermediated value by continuing to select professionals agents to be included in the highly qualified staff with a strong knowledge of the local market.
