Buying a home in Turin: taxes, sales and rules

In short

In Turin (Piedmont), a €300,000 resale home bought from a private owner as a prima casa pays €6,100 in purchase taxes, €27,100 as a second home; 15,120 homes changed hands there in 2024 (OMI). That is 17.7 sales per 1,000 residents, against 12.5 for Italy; the tax rates are national.

What the sales data say about Turin

Turin's 2024 total, 15,120 home sales, makes it 3rd of 20 on volume in the OMI statistics kept by the Agenzia delle Entrate. A provisional 16,151 is reported for 2025. That represents +6.8%, edging past Italy's +6.4%.

Population matters for reading that number. With 855,654 residents at the start of 2026 (ISTAT), Turin posts 17.7 sales for each 1,000 people, again 3rd of 20, and well above the 12.5 recorded nationally. Turin carries 2.1% of all Italian transactions.

Outside the city the market grows quicker. Torino province recorded 34,611 sales in 2024; the city provides 43.7%, and the other 19,491 happened in smaller municipalities. Their 2025 provisional total of 21,642 is +11.0%, a stronger gain than the city's own.

Piedmont as a whole saw 64,420 sales, and Turin's slice is 23.5%. Its weight in regional population is 20.1%, a touch lower. Across Piedmont the figure is 15.1 for each 1,000 inhabitants.

To sum up for a prospective buyer, Turin behaves as a busy market per resident, and a growing part of activity is happening beyond the capoluogo (provincial capital). Volumes are not prices, and the 2025 data can be revised once definitive figures appear.

Data as of 31 December 2025 for OMI home sales (2024 final, 2025 provisional, collected on 19 October 2026) and 1 January 2026 for ISTAT population.
