Bologna province Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Bologna province

Bologna province combines a strong urban core with well-connected towns, historic architecture, and a central position in northern Italy. Its apartment market reflects that mix of local housing need and wider regional investor attention, with pricing shaped by steady fundamentals rather than sharp swings.

August 2026 brings the clearest signal in the province’s apartment market: prices are still edging higher, while rental gains have paused. The average sale price now stands at €259,000, after a monthly rise of 0.8% and a year-on-year increase of 4.4%. On a unit basis, the average square-metre price is €2,760, also up 0.8% over the month and 5.5% over the year.

That leaves the income side looking softer than the capital side. Average rent is €1,100, unchanged from the previous month but down 8.3% compared with August 2025. The result is a yield of 6.15%, which suggests apartments in Bologna province still offer a measurable return, but one that is being tested by faster price growth than rent growth.
