If you are thinking of investing in Le Marche you might want to see the statistics we have compiled concerning buyers requirements. The statistics have been drawn from 2 full years work 2007 and 2008 before the economic crisis and prove interesting reading. The actual requiremenst are those that clients mentioned as “fundamental” when first contacted.

There are not enough statistics over time from which to draw a trend, but there is other useful data to help the investor - for instance, it is perhaps not surprising that 88% of all buyers want to be in the country, but it is important to note that half of those buyers want to be near a village. Also fundemental is the indication of size required. Three and four bedrooms are equally popular but five bedrooms are half as popular.

It would seem that the most poular combination is a 3-4 bedroom house in the countryside that requires restoration, has panoramic views  and more than 1 hectare of land. And if you can add an annex, space for a pool and proximity to a village, you’ve hit the spot.
