Property in the Val Pusteria
The Pusteria is the longest valley in the province and the market closest to the Sesto Dolomites and Plan de Corones. The rules on second homes are the first thing to check.
Brunico is the centre of the valley: a small but complete town, with its arcaded main street, hospital, schools and the link to Plan de Corones. The residential market is steady and local demand constant.
Around it, the villages of the valley and the side valleys — the Valle Aurina, the Val Badia, the Alta Pusteria — have markets that differ from one another: where tourism weighs more, values rise and restrictions tighten; where local employment prevails, the market is steadier.
The stock runs from flats in blocks to detached houses in timber and masonry and on to the farmsteads. On the latter, the agricultural restriction and closed-farm law change what can be done: those checks come before any negotiation.
Selling a home in the Val Pusteria
In the Pusteria demand concentrates in the months when the valley is busier, and it differs markedly between the valley-floor villages and the tourist side valleys. How a property is presented follows the audience that particular municipality reaches.
The other particularity is the stock: where there is a farmstead, the closed-farm rules and the agricultural restriction decide what may be sold and to whom. We make that check before the valuation, because it affects the figure.
Property valuation, municipality by municipality
The value of a property does not stop at the edge of the valley: it changes from one municipality to the next, and often from one hamlet to the next. Below, for every municipality in this area, is what actually moves the price — and where we start from when you ask us for a valuation.
What is a home in Brunico worth?
Brunico is the valley's reference centre and has the broadest residential market in the Pusteria: comparables are numerous and the comparison precise. Just outside the town the tourist component of Riscone and the side valleys comes in. The distinction between residential and tourist use is the first check, because it bears on value and on who may buy.

Questions we get
What is a closed farm?
It is an institution particular to South Tyrol: the farm is indivisible and follows its own rules on inheritance and sale. In practice it limits what may be subdivided, sold or converted. Before negotiating over a farm you need to know whether it is a closed one and what that means in the particular case.
Does the Pusteria make sense for a holiday home?
Once the restriction has been checked: in tourist municipalities new dwellings are largely reserved for residents of the province. Properties free of the restriction exist, and the search concentrates on those, so it begins with the legal check.
What is my house in Brunico or the Val Pusteria worth?
It depends greatly on how touristic the location is and what restrictions sit on the property: two similar houses a few kilometres apart can have entirely different pools of buyers. We come and look, check the restrictions and leave you a reasoned valuation. Free and without obligation.
Guides for selling a home in South Tyrol
The residents' restriction, the land register, taxes: what is worth knowing before you buy or sell.
The documents you need to sell in the province of Bolzano
The list here is longer than in the rest of Italy, because the land register sits alongside the cadastre. We set out what is needed, who issues it and the order in which it is best obtained.
The land register: what changes when you sell here
It is the most significant difference between selling in the province of Bolzano and selling in the rest of Italy, and it is worth knowing before you sign anything.
The residents' restriction: what it means for a seller
Two identical flats in the same building can be worth different sums depending on the restriction attached to them. We set out how to recognise it and what it means for a sale.
