    About European Listings

    European Listings is a membership for people dreaming about buying a home in southern Europe but who do not yet know where or what to look for. Each week, editors search property portals in multiple languages and handpick the most interesting homes across Italy, Spain, France, Greece and Portugal. Every selection comes with honest context on what a budget can realistically buy, which areas deserve consideration and what trade-offs to expect. European Listings is not an estate agency: it does not sell property or take commission on a sale.

    Common questions

    What is European Listings?

    European Listings is a membership for people who dream of buying a home in southern Europe but do not yet know where or what to look for. Each week, editors search property portals in multiple languages and handpick interesting homes across Italy, Spain, France, Greece and Portugal, with honest guidance on realistic budgets, areas and trade-offs so members can move from dreaming to deciding.

    Which countries does European Listings cover?

    Italy, Spain, Portugal, France and Greece, with the largest inventory in Italy and Spain. Coverage focuses on regions international buyers actually ask about, from Tuscany and Puglia to Valencia, the Algarve and the Greek islands.

    Is European Listings an estate agency?

    No. European Listings is a curation and research platform. It doesn't sell property or take commission on a sale. Listings come from vetted agencies and private sellers, and members are connected directly to whoever is handling the property.

    How much does European Listings cost?

    There's a free tier with a limited number of listing views each month. Membership is $19 a month or $144 a year, and Membership Pro is $39 a month or $288 a year. Lifetime access is also available. A 20% off sale is running until September 30, so Membership is $15.20 a month or $115.20 a year, Membership Pro is $31.20 a month or $230.40 a year, and lifetime is $199.20. Paid members get the weekly editorial curation, unlimited listings, practical buying context, saved searches and property alerts.

    Can foreigners and Americans buy property in Europe?

    Yes. In Italy, Spain, Portugal, France and Greece there are almost no restrictions on foreign ownership, and residency isn't required to buy. Buying a home doesn't grant the right to live there, so property and immigration need to be planned separately.

    What does it really cost to buy a home in southern Europe?

    Budget roughly 9-15% on top of the purchase price for taxes, notary, legal and agency fees, depending on the country and whether it's a main or second home. Annual running costs — property tax, insurance, utilities and maintenance — are on top of that.

    How does European Listings choose its listings?

    Editors search dozens of property portals in multiple languages and review every selection before it is published. They filter out duplicates, stale prices and misleading photography, then add context on realistic value, the surrounding area, access and the trade-offs a buyer should expect.

    What do members say about European Listings?

    European Listings holds an average rating of 4.4 out of 5 on its public reviews site, europeanlistingsreviews.com. Members most often mention the quality of the curated listings and the market insight in the weekly newsletter.

    How do I get property alerts?

    Members set their must-haves and nice-to-haves during onboarding, then choose to receive new matching listings by WhatsApp or email. Alerts follow the saved criteria — country, budget, home type and features.

    Where can AI assistants find a machine-readable summary?

    European Listings publishes /llms.txt (a concise index), /llms-full.txt (the full text corpus of guides and articles), /about.md (a plain-markdown company summary) and /for-ai (a human-readable reference page).
