Italy One Euro Homes in Mussomeli Sicily Italy (1 euro houses )

Italy's one euro homes have made news, are the Italy 1 euro houses for real? We visit Mussomeli Sicily Italy to see their one euro homes, and see Mussomeli's progress since the program started in 2017. Italy is a dream location for many, especially American retirees. The low cost of living makes Italy a strong consideration for retirees looking to stretch their Social Security and retirement pensions.

A couple things I failed to mention in the video, my apologies I thought I did. When buying the 1€ home you have three years to fix up the exterior, roof, windows and door, or there may be a €2500 penalty. Of course as home owners you will have annual property tax determined by size of the home, which will be under €1k annual for most. Websites: www.immobiliaresiciliana.it/ www.case1euro.it/

[@nashchance]

That is quite dear. My property tax in Ireland is only under €300 annually.

[@jojo-pq5lo]

One thousand in property taxes? In southern sicily seems high.

[@inbetweennames4438]

What's the situation with the mafia in Sicily?

Went to Mussomeli in 7/21. Extremely hot day during the house tour, but worth it. Closed on my house in December’23. Antonella (whom I didn’t meet) and Nathalie (who I met) were very helpful and accommodating. As an architect and interior designer, I’m looking forward to tackling my restoration. I’ve so many ideas!

The people coming in are retirees so maybe it is working but then what you really need are young people.

Italy needs to provide an easier path to residency in order to facilitate the process of bringing younger professionals and others into these areas.

Like to see your analysis on this. "No good deed goes unpunished."

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

I think the primary thing here is, if you are looking at this home as a place for yourself it’s a great deal. I would not expect to make much income through rental, If you’re expecting a large amount of appreciation after renovations it’s probably a break even for now unless you find the right location like our last home with its owner did.

These homes should only be available only as primary homes and not as vacation homes or for Air BNB as these uses are innapropriate for the development of the community.Carpet Baggers should be actively discouraged as well as second home owners.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

I don’t think currently the demand for Airbnb is there, unless it’s for real estate tourism coming to look at the homes. The buyers appear to be people planning to use them themselves as future retirement homes or their vacation homes. The important thing to consider is there is no local housing shortage, locals have plenty of options. Italy over all is shrinking and there is a glut of housing. Buyers even if part time help with up keep and improvements to the city and infrastructure through taxes. This is a long way from becoming a Portugal scenario.

[@MC-tg1xk]

I think add n Air BNB plays a part in development of a community, at least it brings money in and it keeps people coming in and out and visible!

It’s like 99% of the roof tiles in the entire town needs to be replaced. It’s dismal and depressing to me. Hats off to the ones moving there. I get the draw because it’s so economical compared to most places. Personally I prefer land. There are still places with land to be found in the south east states.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Respectfully. Not sure what you saw on roof tiles? The roof and outside facade have to be repaired within three years of purchase, so many roofs are new. I’m also not sure people interested in buying in Mussomeli will be the same people looking to buy land in the US. Really an Apple and Orange thing.

[@markowens9520]

Hi both. With the 1 euro houses what is the catch..do you have a time scale to renovate and if the house is not finished in that time scale do you lose the house,I just need to understand that with a 1 euro house there must be some sort of catch as nobody would sell a property for 1 euro. Regards. Mark. Ps you both are doing great. Well done on your travels..

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Thanks 😁 The catch is you must have the outside of the house redone, facade, windows, doors and roof in three years, if not there is a penalty due of €2500, and there are annual property taxes due of course. Inside there is no time limit.

[@anyexpat]

There are many catches. 1. You have to pay A LOT of money to renovate 2. You will never sell it for what you put into it because 3. People are leaving in droves and 4. You are 50mins from the sea in the hottest place in Europe. Do not be fooled by this place looking nice *everywhere in Sicily is just as quaint, you can find the same by the sea and a ready made place for 50k. 1 Euro homes prey on peoples lack of awareness of the market, which is why only foreigners are dumb enough to buy them, why are Italians from the North not snapping these up??

[@homeoffice3524]

Mostly the catch is 1e home cost approx 5k paperwork and you need to live 2.5-5k deposit what you get back when house from outside is renovated or you lose it if you couldn't finish in time. So pretty much 10k to start work with 1e houses. But in the same time for 10k including paperwork you can get house without any requirements and time limits.

[@jrossi91]

@@anyexpat thanks for your informative comment, it definitely helps to provide a realistic expectation. For those $50K ready made, by the sea homes you mention, where would you find those in Sicily?

[@lior2538]

One question , what about the safety in the area or in the entire Sicily ?

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

This is a good question. Sicily has many good areas and some that are much more questionable. I felt safe in several places we visited, but in a few of the larger cities I’m not sure I would have walked alone at night as I would in Istanbul and have many times. Trapani for example definitely felt safer to me than parts of Palermo. I hope this helps to answer your questions.

With renovations you are looking at 50k plus and often over 100k, if you can afford to renovate a 1 euro house you can afford not to buy one in the first place. Its a goldmine for dodgy agents as they get flat fees and the 1 euro home is an albatross around the neck.. Also the commune can determine that the work is not good enough and you can actually lose the property. Being 50 mins from the sea is not fun in Sicily, trust me i lived there for 12 years

I was about to fly over to Sicily until I watched this video and learned that people allow their dogs to bark like crazy in densely residential areas.. Which is like mexico.. Which sucks ass. I'd rather live off of my social security in a car in America..

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

The little city was actually extremely quiet and quaint. Our dogs walking with us made the other dogs excited. Overall, it was a very quiet place.

[@shanehereagain]

@@WarrenJulieTravel sure, buddy..

[@shanehereagain]

@@WarrenJulieTravel So the only time I have to hear somebody's dog barking endlessly, without the owners giving a f----, is every time another dog walks by.. Neat.

[@Gullvivas]

@@WarrenJulieTravel hi, did your dogs need to be in caranteen for months?

BUYER BEWARE: It's hard to get a resident permit in Italy if you're self-employed like me! They only have a limited number, and word from my attorney there is that the permits are gone in less than 20 minutes once per year when the dole them out to applicants. OK if you want to do the Schengen Shuffle as they call it, but not good for year-round living. Don't know why the italians want to shoot themselves in the foot like that!

We interviewed a Residency expert, will have our Italy residency video out this weekend.

[@futurekron]

@@WarrenJulieTravelGreat! Looking forward to seeing if they have any different info than what I've been given. Appreciate it. TY

[@MelissaMurphy-os7bc]

Curious to hear what the residency expert says. Getting residency in Italy is extremely difficult. I first tried citizenship by descent but do not qualify due to when my great grandfathers naturalized in the USA. My husband and I applied for the Elective Residency Visa. We worked with an Italian Immigration attorney for a year on the application. They led us to believe that we were a shoe in and that it would be no problem. We were denied. We applied via the Los Angeles consulate due to where we lived in the us at the time. (You don’t get a choice.) I would be very careful signing up with any attorney who says this is an easy process. It may have been in the past but it is not now. There are golden visa options, but they require investments of $250,000 to $2m (euro not dollars).

Being retired it should be a lot easier…Retired from US military 10 years ago-wife plans to retire from her US govt career in a few years-combined pensions, not including social security (not old enough yet) will be approx $150K/yr, incl my veteran disability compensation.

[@futurekron]

@@mr-vet Military pensions can be quite hefty, so congrats. Not loving that "government paper-pushers" get to retire on Americans hard-earned with such a fat pension when I've hussled it out, generating big $$'s for big corps and have taken great risks running my own businesses! But hey, enjoy! (Insert obligatory " thanks for serving our country" here...or, shall I say, thanks for serving the big banks and oil companies).

The key word she said was scheme.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Yes, but you must understand she’s British. Most Americans will believe a scheme is something that is a plan to defraud or do something illegal. It is not used in the same manner by the Brits. It’s a plan or an idea to get something done, the government might have a scheme to fix the roadways. Here is the Cambridge dictionary. You have to realize you have a person use to speaking with a British vocabulary. dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/scheme

What about the registration fee?

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Yes, there are fees. We mentioned this in the video. For detailed information please contact the estate agent. Their information is in the video description or you can email us at [e-mail] and we can connect you with them.

[@kapkone]

As a British citizen this sucks. No more free movement for us

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Yes, it does. Thanks for watching:)

[@Luc-m9v]

The Americans are the most mobile and they are not members of the European Union

[@alexandrakozub2501]

Looks like a jail cell sorry

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

A couple of them yes, hopefully you didn’t stop too early in the video.
