TurnKey Lucca Apartment Tour! EVERYTHING Included. Historic Center! Brand New On Market! 🥳

🇮🇹🇮🇹My new book "The Expat's Guide to Buying Real Estate in Italy" is available on Amazon Kindle right now. Paper back version coming soon! a.co/d/5dLeTYJ 🇮🇹
I came up to Lucca to visit a few new apartments that are just coming on the market with my friend Valerio my local agent.. THIS apartment is outstanding in that it is completely and recently remodeled and the selling price includes everything you see in the video. It’s very difficult to find completely remodeled turnkey properties inside the historic center.
With the US dollar and other world currencies getting stronger against the euro again, it’s a very busy time here and properties sell quickly. You’re basically buying at a 20% discount against what you would have been paid 2 to 3 years ago, just for the conversion savings.
Feel free to write me at Brad’[e-mail] to get in touch with my local agent here. He’s awesome! I hope you enjoy the tour…
Cheers! -Brad

Nicely refinished apartment and in my opinion for a younger single individual that doesn't need more space. Considering I know how much is involved with renovations in Italy, buying a restored property is certainly much more desirable particularly if you do not have experience in country working with the trades people. I know that it can be very demanding and you must be around to make sure things get done. Being in such a desirable location, I have certainly observed that the cost of these properties are much higher than being in a more remote or less vibrant community. One needs to weigh what you actually want and where you are in your life. Lastly, I appreciate the effort that you put in to these vids for I know it takes time and planning. I look forward to seeing what's in store in the future. Thank you! ✌

[@BradsWorld]

Thanks!! I love doing it! Take care! Brad

[@S0Wong0]

Telling the price will help you get viewers.

[@BradsWorld]

I went ahead and put it in the description now. Thanks for the helpful comment. It’ll probably go fast so it’s a moot point but yes it is helpful.

[@MsWarriordiva]

It's listed in the notes.

[@dorinatudisco1308]

I just signed up for Babbel and love it! In just 3 months I’ve learned so much. And I can practice speaking with my Italian husband 😊

[@BradsWorld]

Amazing how fast it sticks in your brain! What a bonus having a native speaker. I learned Spanish fluently within 6 months because wifey is native speaker. 👍🏼

[@kimisilv]

Fabulous apartment. The balcony is the “cherry on top”.

[@stevengilleyOU812]

All very good points. I’m sure buyers don’t always think in those points. Experience is key and you have all that!

[@BradsWorld]

Just want to pass any little tidbit along! Take care!

[@rosaliegalasso791]

Just started watching ! Lucca seems so beautiful… looking forward to more videos. Bravo con la lingua, non è facile ma utile !

[@elbee1290]

Your language skills are really getting good! Bravo to you and thanks for mentioning the apps that have helped you!

[@BradsWorld]

I hope you enjoy them. Especially HelloTalk!

[@dorinatudisco1308]

Beautiful apartment! I like how you weave in your helpful comments about it.

[@BradsWorld]

Thanks for the good thoughts! Brad

[@monikamohr734]

Did you mention the asking price?

[@BradsWorld]

It’s in the description now

[@Vivianslucca]

Great tour!,reaching out. And good job on your Italian!!

[@BradsWorld]

Thanks! If you ever make it to the area let me know. Many people have stopped to shop for properties and have a glass of wine. Always nice to meet like minded people! 😎

[@Vivianslucca]

@@BradsWorld will do! Hopefully sooner than later 🇮🇹

[@annawoods5184]

Beautiful apartment & like u say great town

[@BradsWorld]

I always like visiting. Now I have my favorite coffee place and favorite cocktail place etc. Yum!

New subscriber. Spent about 2 years now, perusing Italian generic and real estate channels having lived in Vicenza for 7 yrs and planning on moving to Italy. I liked your videography, editing and tips. Also appreciated you zooming in on critical things like the kitchen. Do you do any hunting outside of Tuscany, for example Abruzzo? Dan de oppresso liber

[@BradsWorld]

I want to be hunting for stuff all over. I’m still trying to finish up my own remodels here in southern Tuscany. I’ll be branching out more and more soon! Thanks for watching Dan!

[@cynthiahudson7528]

Great information, unfortunately my husband has no interest in doing this even though we can afford to do so and I can get dual citizenship through my great grandfather. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences. I enjoy the videos.

[@BradsWorld]

Everyone has to be on board that’s for sure. I’m glad my wife came around! 57 is old for me to be hitting the market again…! 🤣

[@cynthiahudson7528]

@@BradsWorld well said

[@MsWarriordiva]

The apt is awesome, just a bit high for me. I'm looking for €220,000 & below & preferably 2 bdrm because I have guests. Most that I'm looking at are in smaller towns & further south in Tuscany & in Umbria.

[@BradsWorld]

That’d be easy to find in smaller towns. Even here in Montepulciano which is a busy town you can sometimes grab a deal. The difference here is you can rent it on the short term Airbnb market and make a good return on your investment when you’re not using it. I’ll be doing a video shortly on the place that they’re asking €230,000 for. Two bedroom one and a half bath. But once it was fixed up some you could probably rent it easily for €160 a night. Stay tuned and use the different websites to search for your dream property.

[@Lilyeh-OMJ]

Bellissimo!😁

[@BradsWorld]

One of my subscribers bought it and she’s very happy, she’s actually buying the apartment next-door next

[@adcampo7601]

How would you say the house prices have been in Lucca over the past couple of years? Would you expect properties in side the walls to appreciate?

[@BradsWorld]

I think so. First you are going to get appreciation when the euro returns to its natural level of about $1.20-1.25/€1. And there is nothing like the prices I saw offered even in Nov 2021, like a 3 story 3 unit building that was €390K…. Ugh. Shoulda grabbed it!😢

[@adcampo7601]

@@BradsWorld Thanks. We close on our Lucca apartment in a couple of weeks.

[@pawlieblog7967]

Do you find anything less than $100,000 in Tuscany, maybe not in Lucca, but around the smaller towns?

[@BradsWorld]

You can if you go outside the city walls. Anywhere…. Most places are super reasonable. I’ll be doing more videos about those places! -Btad

[@mcognito]

Brad, corragio! Poi parlare basta cosi in Italiano! I study 5-6 days per week and IMO Italian is easy with staccato pronunciations and conjugations! Bravo!

[@BradsWorld]

Questo video è vecchio. Parlo meglio adesso.

[@heatherschutte5577]

When looking from Canada the price would be very helpful for a wonderful place as this. It’s not going to change even if you whisper it. It stops the running around just for a price.

[@BradsWorld]

Hi Canada- I went ahead and put it in description, is €330,000. The reason why we didn’t wanna put it is because these videos stay forever, and you don’t know what the future is going to bring. My guess is this apartment get snapped up very fast being that as well located, and completely furnished and newly remodeled and fully stocked. But you whisper, got me. The price is now in the description! I hope you enjoyed the video and really thank you for watching me. - Brad

[@bozotheclown935]

Hey Brad, great tips. Have done some building myself and for sure, delays are not your fried. BTW, your Italian is understandable so well done amigo. All the best. ==BOZE==

[@olgasampis9745]

Gli italiani sono molto cortese cuando uno si trova da parlare la sua lingua. Io lo parlo, anche il inglese..ma o dimenticato tanti. Hablo español..también

[@BradsWorld]

Vero…!

[@Challenger540i]

Be great if you could mention the asking price

[@BradsWorld]

I put it in The description now. I know a lot of you guys commented on that. I hope somebody jumps on this quick, because things like this go fast there’s so much demand. Good luck and write me if you wanna know my agent because this is not on the listing website except for their particular agency. I’m not gonna put his email for the world to see too many scammers out there…! Thanks for watching! BRAD

[@matthewcrosson3874]

What's the cost?

[@BradsWorld]

It was in the video. If I remember correctly, it was around 300,000. This sold at least a year ago. Apartments and Lucca go very fast.

[@wernerdanler2742]

It's 60 m2, not 60 sq3. I can't put the exponent numbers up with my phone. Nothing wrong with the kitchen. Italian kitchen designs are the best in the world. Lucca is not a big city. For the price I'd have expected two bedrooms. Ce la vie. Ciao.

[@BradsWorld]

Well it sold right away. Lucca is a great city and constantly busy.

[@boroiasar12]

I also have an air b n b ready to go ,fully furnished apartment in lucca i want to sell

[@BradsWorld]

Send me details by email. [e-mail]

[@BradsWorld]

No I didn’t... Generally the sellers and agents don’t like it blasted out in this format. If you ping me at [e-mail] I’m happy to share more details or the agents info! Thanks for watching! Brad

[@BradsWorld]

Ok ok. I posted it! 😊
