Some towns in Italy are selling homes for €1.

A travel vlogger visited Sicily to learn about the €1 homes. Many towns in Italy are selling empty homes for very little money.

Many young Italians are moving to cities, leaving small towns empty.

About 25 towns are selling homes for €1 to get people to move in and fix them up.

A vlogger named Ben visited a town in Sicily to learn about the €1 homes. He talked to a local real estate agent about the homes.

Ben visited a town called Sambuca di Sicilia.

The agent said the town has sold homes for €1, €2, and €3.

To buy a home, you must make an offer of at least €1, €2, or €3, but the highest offer wins.

Ben found out that homes in Sambuca usually get bids of up to €5,000.

Ben said another town has homes that can be bought for €1 with no extra costs, and some are available now.

Ben met a woman who bought a home for €5,000 and spent a lot of money to fix it up.

Ben was told to be careful when walking in one of the homes.

Ben visited another town to find a home that could be bought for €1.

He saw a home that needed a lot of work and was told to walk carefully.

The home needed repairs to make it safe to live in.

The buyer of a home is also responsible for making sure it does not fall down.

Ben learned that buying a home also involves extra costs like notary fees.

The home Ben visited needed a lot of repairs.

A website that helps sell the €1 homes said they want to fix up old buildings.
