Municipalities and 1 Euro Houses: how to buy and where

Questo articolo è disponibile anche in: Italiano (Italian)

The 1 Euro Houses Project is a phenomenon that expands to many Italian municipalities. The 1 Euro Houses project in Italy was an initiative created for the first time in Gangi in Sicily. The goal of the 1 Euro Houses is to repopulate the abandoned villages in Italy, and rehabilitate the typical houses of the territory.

At the moment, many houses remain sadly abandoned. As the owners have not interest in living there, the houses are left to decay. Meanwhile, the owners continue to pay expensive taxes, without the opportunity to sell. The 1 Euro Houses Project gives the possibility to these owners to sell the house at the symbolic price of 1 euro, giving the property to those who want to live there. The buyer needs only to make the house suitable again, renewing what needs to be renovated to live there in tranquility.

But where are the 1 Euro Houses and how the purchase process works?

The 1 Euro Houses project has been developing for years, getting international attention since 2019. The most famous cases are certainly the municipalities of Sambuca di Sicilia, Mussomeli and Cammarata, where they sell all the houses available in a short period. In addition to 1 Euro Houses many houses were also sold on the regular real estate market or on auctions, organized by the municipality.
