Ciao friends—Samantha here!
In this episode of A New Life in Italy, I’m taking you behind the scenes of one of the biggest (and most confusing) decisions you can make when moving to Italy: buying a home.
If you’ve ever found yourself endlessly scrolling through dreamy Italian property listings online and thinking, “I’ll just message the agent and go from there,”—I’m going to stop you right there. Because the truth? The buying process in Italy isn’t as simple—or as straightforward—as it might be in your home country. But don’t worry, I’m breaking it all down for you step-by-step.
We’ll talk about:
And to make it even more real, I’m joined by one of our wonderful clients—and now friend—Sarah Wheeldon, a fellow Canadian who made the leap and bought her dream home in Pitigliano. You might’ve seen her on our YouTube channel, but today you’ll hear the full story: the highs, the nerves, the lessons, and what life is like now that she’s living in the home she once imagined.
We also tackle some common myths (like “It’s cheap!”—well, not always), some behind-the-scenes truths (like what happens when the listing is no longer available), and how to avoid wasting time or money on your buying trip.
If you’re dreaming about buying a home in Italy—whether it’s now or five years from now—this episode is full of insights to help you plan smarter and feel more confident.
And if you want support through the process? You know where to find us—SmartMoveItaly.com 💛
