Buying a $1 Home in Italy Just Got Even Easier
Over the past few years, small towns have attracted global attention by selling off cheap houses in Italy for as little as one euro (about $1.21). Despite their bucolic charms, historic villages like Mussomeli and Zungoli in Sicily were increasingly losing residents to cities for employment opportunities. To kickstart repopulation, an extraordinary real estate trend developed wherein the “dying” villages auctioned off abandoned houses at bargain prices, sometimes as low as one euro.
