Will property prices in Rome fall in 2026?

Property prices in Rome are not expected to fall in 2026, but rather plateau in the first quarter with modest fluctuations between -1% to +2%, followed by resumed growth of 3-4% by year-end. Average prices reached €3,306 per square meter by late 2025, with the final quarter showing 2.4% growth, and major cities including Rome are anticipated to see continued price peaks rather than declines throughout 2026. The market is entering a period of normalization after recent volatility, with falling interest rates and strong rental yields of 6-8% supporting property values. Our buyers at Trevi Elite are positioning now rather than waiting, as 2026 represents a stabilization window before the next growth phase.
