What if the winds of war in russia were already foreshadowed in september? it is the month in which there has been a sudden drop in interest in luxury properties

What does luxury real estate have to do with the war in Ukraine?
Apparently nothing, were it not for a study carried out by the portal www.luxforsale.it, specialized in the promotion of luxury properties, which launches an assumption, according to which in Russia something has changed radically since September 2021, that is 5 months before the start of hostilities.

"Obviously, we cannot clearly connect this hypothesis to the conflict" declared by Luxforsale "but the numbers extracted from the observatory drawn up monthly by Luxforsale are unequivocal".

For years now, luxury properties in Italy have been highly sought after by Russian oligarchs and millionaires, who have bought up some of the most fascinating properties in our country.
The Russians, in fact, have always been among the main visitors of the Luxforsale portal, up to the month of September 2021.

To go into even more detail, Luxforsale provides data that actually leave no room for doubt.
Analyzing the numbers, it can be seen, for example, that from 1 January to 30 June 2021, Russia was the sixth nation overall by number of visitors on the Luxforsale portal with an average percentage of 1.26% of the total.
In the month and since September these numbers have collapsed causing Russia to slide beyond the thirtieth position with an average percentage below 0.07% of the total.

"The monthly analysis carried out by our research department immediately highlighted these numbers" continue from Luxforsale "and we tried to understand how to intervene to increase them again, but without success and without understanding the reasons until a few days ago, when Russia invaded Ukraine ".

"The numbers do not lie, but we cannot in any way claim that they are necessarily linked to the conflict, even if we do not find other reasonable reasons to explain such a debacle."

The whole world hopes for a quick conclusion to a war which, in addition to devastating the states involved, also negatively and indirectly affects other nations.
For over twenty years, Russian has been an important source of income for Italy and its lack can only negatively impact key sectors for our nation, such as real estate and tourism.
We can therefore say without doubt that the war between Russia and Ukraine also causes less interest in the Italian luxury real estate market.

Here is another reason why it is necessary to say "stop the war"
