The prime residential market at Lake Como is seeing strong demand, driven largely by international buyers, who account for around 60% of purchases. New and renovated properties in prime areas range between 5,000 and 7,000 EUR/sqm, with top prices reaching 7,500 EUR/sqm and prime budgets typically between 800K and 1.2M EUR. Values rose in the central areas over the past year, while the rest of the market held broadly stable.
Demand is oriented towards second homes (around 50% of transactions), followed by investment purchases (30%), with buyers coming mainly from the United States, Germany and Northern Europe. For the second half of 2026, expectations point to growing demand across all segments.
