A growing real estate market and increasingly broad and qualified participation : this is what emerged from the 2025 data on the real estate auction market in Sardinia, which is changing perspective and moving beyond the image of a sector linked exclusively to speculation.

This is revealed in the regional report on real estate auctions, prepared by Lino Mura of the Brili and Brilas agencies in Olbia, with the advice of Mirko Frigerio, one of the leading national experts on NPLs (bad loans) and real estate auctions, and president of Rescue.

In 2025, 2,083 lots were listed on the island, with a total starting price exceeding €410 million, and a combined minimum bid of over €318 million. This is a large and complex market, dominated by foreclosures, but characterized by a strong polarization in value: just 45 lots above €1 million account for nearly 50% of the total value.

At the regional level, Gallura stands out as one of the most dynamic and high-value areas. Arzachena leads the regional rankings in terms of value, with over €63.8 million distributed across 80 lots, while Olbia ranks among the main hubs with approximately €39.1 million and 150 auctions held. Cagliari and Quartu Sant'Elena follow.

The market profile remains strongly oriented towards residential: there are 912 apartments, 71 villas, while the other most frequent typologies are building lots (373) and buildings for agricultural activities (159). The macro-class snapshot shows that residential accounts for 47.9% of the total; the industrial/productive segment stops at 2.4% of the lots but exceeds 7.3% of the value, a sign of much higher average tickets.

The numbers reflect the strong appeal of the Gallura real estate market, where the presence of luxury properties, second homes, and high-end tourism assets significantly impacts values. The coastal strip of northeastern Sardinia continues to attract the most valuable properties in terms of value, confirming a trend that has been consolidated in recent years.

One of the most significant findings from the analysis concerns the changing perception of auctions, no longer seen as a parallel or marginal market, but increasingly as an integrated segment of the real estate system. In Olbia, in particular, there has been a growth in the number of auction participants, with a direct impact on hammer prices. In several cases, the final value of properties has even exceeded that of similar properties on the open market.
