Buying a home in Italy - EXPAT LIFE in Umbria

Hello and congrats on your beautiful home! Curious about the visa/residence permits you had when you left the USA. Does purchasing a home in Italy allow you to reside in the county permanently and become an Italian citizen? Thanks for the great info!

Umbria is magic, I can tell you as an Italian. Some say it’s the heart chakra of the Earth

Bella casa sul serio, complimenti

We left 'crazy' land and moved to Italy in 2021 - no regrets here. Keep up the good work

Love the Cicadas sounds!

Hi! My wife and I are really curious about prices in Italy. We really like your Vlog, but noticed that you never say how much anything costs. For example, your Italian house and your kitchen remodel. Pricing information about these items would be super-informative and helpful to your viewers. Thanks and we love your vlogs!

Short, sweet and to the point ! Why can't more you tubers be like you, instead of waffling on about diddly squat. Much appreciated, Thnx and enjoy your new life...

I don’t blame you for wanting to live there!

It’s a blessing to buy a villa in Italy and live there,I moved from Italy to the U S A now I can say that I prefer The U S. The hospitals are lacking. Doctors even if is free medical for everyone but the system is broken . Waiting for cat scans X rays takes weeks to schedule .I love Vacationing in Italy but when it comes to actual living and comforts love my life in America . Parking and wide roads makes it less stressful for me here .Our American schools are well equipped for sports activities heated and air conditioned ,I could go on and on.

Wow! That seems like it was so simple! 😮. What a treasure to be living your dream every day! 😍

We will be paying close attention to your videos. Settling in Italy was our first thought. Now we plan to travel until we find the perfect place.

Right guys, just starting to binge watch more of your videos. This is really interesting, especially the addresses issue, we’ve noticed that. Also interesting about the sellers showing you round, rather than the agent. We would love to by abroad one day so all of this is really great. How lovely that you had the previous owners round for dinner. Also really interesting about the harvesting unwritten rule. Fab video, looking forward to getting through more of your videos 🍻

Happy Anniversary and congratulations to you both for another wonderful video!! We thought it was fascinating that in the buying process that if the Seller backs out the Buyer/s receive double their deposit back.. Very important to list everything in the RE Contract on what's included inside the home and outside, including harvesting of trees!!.. Wishing you two a successful Fall Harvest from your Olive grove and look forward to next year in 2023 helping you harvest and have fun together while we are there!!

thank you for sharing. I learned something new!

Olive tree parties sound fabulous! Great video. 💗

Sounds like an interesting experience, Debbie and Stign. We just went though the process, but back here in the US. We left them our kitchen though! Happily they purchased most of our furniture too. Since we downsized we would have had to scramble otherwise. Interesting about the penalties for backing out of selling. Also interesting about the sellers being there for the showing. We were gone and the realtor handled it. We were happy however to meet them as the agreement was signed at their request. I also wanted to make sure everything was clear. They are a lovely young couple! Loved hearing about your experience in Italy. Next year, you'll have a wonderful Olive Celebration!

Thank you for the last tipp regarding the olive harvest. It will definately be helpful.

This was very helpful, thank you!

Thank you for sharing your experience. Interestingly enough, that crop still belongs to the seller even after sealing the deal with selling the property. On the other hand, it sounds fair to those people, who took care of trees or plants throughout the year.

Just happened on your site!! What beautiful home and what a exciting life you are living. So happy for you and your husband. Enjoy watching your adventures.
