A Real Estate Review of Sicily
One of my favorite travel writers about Sicily, Kate Singleton, talks about the real estate market in Sicily. She is an expert of this topic having moved to Modica in Sicily a few years ago.
Here is a little bit of what you can get on the International Herald Tribune:
When Sicilians claim that their homeland is a continent, not an island, they are not trying to redefine geography. They are simply drawing attention to the remarkable variety of landscapes, microclimates, gastronomic traditions and historical heritages to be found here.
Variety is also the distinguishing characteristic of the Sicilian property market. Prices, which have been rising as much as 20 percent a year, still seem reasonable, especially to north Europeans but even to Italians from Milan and Turin. There are plenty of handsome townhouses with frescoed ceilings, palaces with some original furnishings, country villas surrounded by lemon groves, fortified farmsteads and even the odd castle.
