What the sales data say about Piedmont
Turin sets the tone in Piedmont. Of the region's 64,420 home sales in 2024 (OMI series, Agenzia delle Entrate), the province took 34,611, a 53.7% share, and 19,491 of those happened outside the city itself, which holds 43.7% of provincial volume.
Alessandria stands out in the provisional 2025 data at +14.8%, followed by Novara at +14.0%, while the region overall moved by +10.1% to 70,932 sales. Cuneo, the second province, recorded 8,031 sales in 2024 and only 827 of them in the city of Cuneo.
Set against population, Piedmont reaches 15.1 transactions per 1,000 inhabitants, third place among the 18 comparable regions and above the Italian 12.5. ISTAT puts 7.2% of Italians there, while it generates 8.9% of national transactions. Across the 8 provinces, the provincial capitals together make up 33.8% of the regional total, which means most buyers in the data were purchasing in smaller towns. The figures describe volumes, not prices.
Turin's province carries 53.7% of regional volume, and the smaller provinces trail far behind: Asti 2,855, Biella 2,711, Verbano-Cusio-Ossola 2,510 and Vercelli 2,467. Vercelli posted the sharpest provisional rise among them, +12.0%, so its 2025 figure deserves a second look once the final OMI release is out.
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.
