🏡 Buying or Renting Your First Home? The Ultimate Guide with Blasco and Corrado from Casa a Prima Sight!
Want to live on your own but your bank account is crying out loud? 😭 Welcome to a new, unmissable episode of Skill Factor, the Skuola.net vodcast that compares points of view on thorny issues like the one we're tackling today.
We're talking about the generational trauma par excellence: buying your first home vs. renting*. And to survive this jungle, we called on the real estate champions: *Blasco Pulieri and Corrado Sassu, the famous and beloved agents starring in the cult TV show Casa a Prima Vista (Real Time / Nove) and hosts of the highly popular podcast Salone Doppio (@SaloneDoppio_podcast).
If you're trying to understand how to buy your first home without getting ripped off, if you're wondering how youth mortgages really work (do 100% mortgages really exist?), or if it's worth investing in a house in need of renovation (the famous "blank canvas"), this is the masterclass you've been looking for.
Together with our director Daniele Grassucci, Blasco and Corrado debunk the boomer myths ("rent is a waste of money! 👴🏻") and explain, with numbers in hand, why Gen Z and Millennials struggle so much to leave home compared to their Northern European peers.
Fifty percent of young people between the ages of 25 and 34 still live with their parents, compared to a paltry 4% in Denmark or Finland.
Spoiler alert: it's not just because we're "mama's boys," but because the Italian real estate market has ruthless rules.
But is it just a question of laziness, or is there more to it? Corrado and Blasco explain that behind this statistic lie extremely high economic barriers: taxes, notary deeds, agencies, and the chronic difficulty of getting a 100% mortgage if you don't have a solid contract or a "grandma" ready to lend you a hand.
👇 IN THIS VIDEO YOU'LL DISCOVER:
The hidden costs of buying a house: How much do you really need to have saved in your bank account? Let's do the exact calculations between notary fees, registration tax, bank processing fees, and real estate agency commissions.*
Renting a first home: is it really a waste? Why renting is actually the best investment to test your independence (and your couple's stability) before committing to a 30-year mortgage.
Blasco and Corrado's secrets: The behind-the-scenes details of the trade as seen in *Home at First Sight*, how to value a property, and the best areas to focus on today.
The "Out of Area" trick: How to save up to 50% on the purchase price by moving to the hinterland or taking advantage of train connections.
From Studio Apartment to Van Life: What are the legal minimum square footage (28 square meters or 42 square meters?) and the new extreme housing trends like camperizing a supercar or living in industrial lofts.
Whether you're a college student dreaming of your first rental or a young worker ready to take the plunge, this interview is the survival manual they never gave you in school. 🎓
