February is consistently confirmed by data as a highly strategic month for launching real estate projects in Central Italy. This is driven by increasing demand and a high volume of quality enquiries from buyers seeking to make well-informed decisions.
When emotion meets strategy, the most solid real estate projects are born. In Central Italy, February represents precisely this moment: a quiet yet extremely strategic phase, in which vision begins to turn into tangible value. This is the perfect time for anyone looking to invest in, purchase, or renovate high-end properties with a well-planned and thoughtful strategy.
THE STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE OF STARTING IN THE FIRST MONTHS OF THE YEAR
In the real estate sector, choosing the right moment to act is just as important as identifying the ideal property. The first months of the year offer particularly favourable conditions: the market is calmer and allows for in-depth technical and strategic evaluations. February, in particular, makes it possible to:
- analyse properties with greater clarity
- grasp their structural and emotional potential
- set up acquisition and enhancement strategies
- plan technical and design interventions with optimised timeschedules
This is the phase in which the foundations are laid for projects destined to develop over the course of the year.
A KEY MONTH CONFIRMED BY GREAT ESTATE DATA
Operational dynamics confirm the strategic role of February in the Central Italy second-home market. Historical data from Great Estate show that activity among buyers interested in this segment records, on average, a 46% increase over December and around 15% above the annual average. Analysing the behaviour of clients followed by the network also reveals that, in February, genuine enquiries are, on average, 46% higher than in December, with levels of dynamism comparable to those ofthe summer months. A particularly significant figure concerns the quality of demand: over 60% of buyers registered during this period turn their initial interest into operational requests. Umbria, Tuscany and Lazio remain the most active areas, with many renovation and value-enhancement projects taking shape precisely at this time, in line with the positive trend of the national residential market, which grew by 8.7% in the first quarter of 2025 according to ISTAT data.

THE IDEAL MONTH TO PLAN TOURISM-LED VALUE ENHANCEMENT
February also proves to be a strategic month for decisions concerning the strategic enhancement of properties for tourism purposes.

FROM DECISIONS TO PROJECTS THAT COME TO LIFE
Many of the projects we admire today, from expertly restored farmhouses to historic residences brought back to life and charming homes immersed in nature, were conceived precisely at this time of year. Starting a real estate project now means entering spring with a solid plan, ready to be translated into action.
Working together, by combining vision, analysis, and strategy, is how the most significant opportunities are often created in the high-end property market.
