Real estate news

In recent years, Trieste's real estate market has demonstrated a strength few expected. We're not talking about a city subject to passing fads, but rather a market that grows gradually, selectively, and increasingly driven by the quality of its locations and properties.

The question I receive most frequently is always the same: "Where is the best place to buy in Trieste today?"

There's no single answer, because it depends on the objective: a first home, an investment, a rental, or a property's appreciation over time. So, I'll try to clarify, based on first-hand experience and real-world data.

City center and semi-central areas: stable value and high liquidity

The center of Trieste, along with the surrounding areas, remains one of the safest choices. Prices are higher than the city average, but liquidity is high: a well-located and correctly valued property sells and rents easily.

It's a good idea to buy here if:

you're looking for a first home with amenities nearby;

you want a property that can easily be resold;

The focus is on rentals to professionals, students, or medium- to long-term leases.

The real deciding factor isn't so much the area, but rather the condition of the property and the presence of an elevator, outdoor spaces, or open views.

Barcola and sea-view areas: few properties, steady demand

Barcola continues to be one of the most sought-after areas, especially among those seeking quality of life and proximity to the sea. Supply is limited, making the market less flexible on price, but very solid over time.

It's an ideal area for:

those looking for a home to live in;

investors focused on maintaining value, rather than speculation;

non-local or foreign buyers.

Here, it's crucial to move quickly and with a realistic valuation, because opportunities don't last long.

San Giacomo, Roiano, and neighborhoods undergoing transformation

There are also areas experiencing a gradual revaluation, thanks to services, connections, and an increasingly evident generational turnover. San Giacomo and Roiano, for example, attract young families and discerning investors.

These areas are worth buying if:

you're accepting a property in need of renovation;

you're seeking a better €/m² ratio;

you want to capture gradual growth in the medium term.

These are often the areas where good advice really makes a difference.

The real key: there are no "right areas" without a proper appraisal.

A common mistake is to think that simply choosing the right area is enough. In reality, the right price is always the deciding factor.

A good deal stems from a balance between location, property condition, market prospects, and personal goals.

For this reason, I always recommend starting with a concrete and personalized analysis, avoiding decisions based solely on perceptions or online ads.

If you're considering buying a home in Trieste, whether to live or invest, targeted advice today can make a difference in the coming years.
