Looking ahead to 2026, the same analysis forecasts growth in both markets, but at two different speeds: nationwide, sale prices are forecast to rise by 3.1%, while rental prices are expected to increase by 8.1%. In Milan, the outlook is just as clear: purchase prices are projected to grow by 2% by the end of 2026, while rents are expected to rise by 5%. In practical terms, buying a home may remain challenging, but renting is likely to become even more competitive.

As always, Milan cannot be read as a single market: it depends on the neighborhood. On the sales side, the strongest growth is expected in Precotto - Turro (+8.7%), Viale Certosa - Cascina Merlata (+8.3%) and Bicocca - Niguarda (+8%), while Arco della Pace - Arena - Pagano is forecast to remain relatively stable (+0.5%). In the rental market, central areas continue to lead, with Centro (+9.2%), Solari - Washington (+8.4%) and Centrale - Repubblica (+7.8%) showing the strongest increases, while Navigli is still growing, but at a more moderate pace (+3%).

This is exactly where Housy makes a difference.

In a market like this, success is not about browsing more listings. It is about getting to the right opportunities first and understanding quickly whether they are truly worth pursuing. That is the role of a property finder:

- helps you interpret the price, not just in terms of “how much it costs,” but whether it makes sense in that specific area and at that particular moment

- saves you time by avoiding unnecessary viewings and properties with hidden issues

- puts you in a position to move quickly, without making impulsive decisions

- when needed, also supports you on strategy: buying to live in the property or buying as an investment

If 2026 will be a year of steady growth, the real advantage in Milan will belong to those who approach the market with a clear method.
