The Jubilee's economic impact on Rome is projected at €4-4.5 billion, but experts caution that such projections are often overestimated. While the event aims to stimulate investment and attract visitors, Rome uses it to compensate for ordinary resource shortfalls.

The increase in house sales (nearly 145,000 in 2024, exceeding 2023's 132,000) is attributed by the NVM to positive market sentiment, falling mortgage interest rates, higher wages, and increased supply due to investor sales of rental properties. The higher supply and strong demand resulted in brisk sales, with an average transaction time of 27 days. In 144 out of 342 municipalities, average prices surpassed €500,000, exceeding €700,000 in 11 municipalities, often those with larger homes.
