“Market analysis is the basis for the proper evaluation of real estate projects but the real estate market in Italy is more challenging than in other countries, given the low degree of transparency and data homogeneity,” commented Maria Pia Forgione, Head of Full Appraisals at Prelios Valuations, during her speech dedicated to real estate evaluations at the RE Italy Winter Forum 2018. “Therefore, to support national and international operators in their real estate investment and divestment decisions in Italy, it is essential to gather and analyse national and local data using assessment expertise and a comprehensive view of important real estate transactions. Multidisciplinary skills are the key to identifying the opportunities in a real estate market ready to return to growth.
