What the sales data say about Tuscany
Tuscany recorded 47,115 home sales in 2024 in the OMI series, and the provisional figure for 2025 is 51,566 (+9.4%). Its share of national sales, 6.5%, is almost identical to its 6.2% share of the population (ISTAT), and the rate of 12.9 transactions per 1,000 inhabitants sits just above the Italian 12.5, in 8th place among 18 regions.
Florence is the largest of the 10 provinces with 12,057 sales, or 25.6% of the region, and the city accounts for 40.0% of that. Pisa follows on 5,638, with Livorno and Lucca a little behind.
Directions differ by province. Pisa rose +13.7% in 2025, whereas Florence rose only +3.6%. In Lucca the capoluogo is only 21.6% of provincial sales, in Livorno 37.8%.
Overall the capoluoghi contribute 33.5% of regional volume, so buyers in the data were mostly active elsewhere. Source: Agenzia delle Entrate; volumes should not be read as prices, and 2025 remains provisional.
Prato is the outlier among Tuscan provinces: its city absorbs 76.9% of provincial sales, while in Siena the capoluogo takes just 18.5%. Grosseto (+17.4%) and Pistoia (+14.8%) posted the strongest provisional growth, compared with +3.6% for the province of Florence, which still accounts for 25.6% of regional volume.
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.
