Matera province Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Matera province

Matera province reaches from Matera’s ancient cave districts to Basilicata’s Ionian coast. That range is worth keeping in mind when reading apartment data: a provincial average describes a broader area than the historic streets for which Matera is best known.

In October 2026, the clearest signal for apartments is a decline in average rent while the average sale price holds steady. Rent is down 4.0% month over month, but the average sale price remains €130,000. This is the month’s central tension: a softer rental benchmark without a matching reduction in the purchase benchmark can narrow the income case for a new investment. It does not mean that every apartment has seen its rent fall, or that every sale price is unchanged.

The current average rent is €600, alongside a reported yield of 7.5%. The yield offers a useful reference, but it should not be read as the return available on any particular listing, especially when the rental benchmark has moved lower. Nor do the provincial figures show how rent and price align for an individual apartment. Size, condition and location can all matter to that calculation.

For an investor assessing Matera province this month, the practical question is whether the rent supported by a specific property justifies its purchase price. The averages provide a starting point for that comparison, not a replacement for property-level evidence.
