More and more digital nomads looking for luxury properties. The reasons are different, from choosing a 5-star location for your creative journey to real estate flipping


A new trend is invading the world of luxury real estate: the charge of digital nomads!
In fact, more and more smart workers and digital professionals are showing interest in buying and renting luxury properties. This new phenomenon, as revealed by Luxforsale's real-time analyses, reveals how many digital nomads are asking for more and more information on prestigious properties, both to buy and to rent. There is more, because new real estate flipping actions can also be glimpsed in the background.


Real estate digital nomads: where do they come from?
As is well known, digital nomads are professionals who carry out their work using only digital tools and move freely from one place to another. Thanks to the advent of technology and the spread of high-speed internet, these nomads can work anywhere, creating a unique balance between professional and personal life. A lifestyle that allows them to have different experiences, get to know new cultures and discover unique places without having to give up their job.
According to data held by Luxforsale, these digital professionals looking for luxury properties (in Italy but not only) come mainly from English-speaking countries (United States, England, Canada) and Nordic countries (Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark).


Why are digital nomads looking for luxury real estate?
The growing interest of digital nomads in luxury real estate is mainly linked to the possibility of having a comfortable and high-quality base of operations, wherever they are. Digital nomads look for a stimulating environment, high-level services and access to unique experiences in luxury residences, especially when it comes to professional creators with huge followers. Here then is that luxury properties such as villas, castles or penthouses promoted on Luxforsale simultaneously become their refuge and their operational location.


Where do digital nomads look for luxury properties in Italy?
The search is truly diverse: from the sea to the mountains, from the lake to the cities, you can really find everything!
Among the most sought-after cities there is a preference to avoid the metropolis, but to choose places more on a human scale such as Venice, Florence and Palermo.
The most attractive seaside regions are Puglia, Sicily, Liguria and, somewhat surprisingly, the Marches.
Lovers of quiet areas and vineyards prefer Tuscany and Umbria, those looking for the coolness of the Italian mountains are attracted by Valle D'Aosta and Trentino Alto Adige, while lovers of lakes, in addition to the classic Como and Garda, show great interest in smaller lakes that of Orta, Iseo and Trasimeno.


Real estate flipping: the new frontier
An interesting aspect of this trend is also the growing attention of digital nomads for real estate flipping. Real Estate Flipping involves identifying an economically undervalued property, buying it at a lower price, upgrading it and then reselling it at a higher price to make a profit. Numerous resourceful and entrepreneurial digital nomads are using their skills and keen eye to invest in luxury properties to be valued and resold at a profit. A strategy that allows them to finance their lifestyle and create additional income.
