Holiday property prices set to rise in SicilyItaly: 6 June 2008The Italian island of Sicily is attracting increasing amounts of interest from those looking for holiday properties, it has been claimed. Prices are set to rise as holidaymakers and property purchasers are increasingly attracted by the wealth of activities, beautiful scenery, warm climate and affordable property, according to Justin Figgins, director of Rightmove Overseas. Mr Figgins said: "Flights are already in place and our statistics prove that interest in Sicilian property is increasing significantly, so I would not be surprised if prices start to rise fast." Despite being the tenth most popular region in Italy for property investors, Sicily has had the largest annual rise in popularity among prospective buyers, with searches up by 185 per cent compared with the same period in the preceding year. Italy is currently the fourth most popular overseas property destination behind Spain, France and the USA among Rightmove's users, with almost 50 per cent of these looking for a holiday property.
