They pop up in lifestyle sections with "Another Town In Italy Is Selling Houses For A Neat $1" or Instagram. Basically all the young people have left these small towns to go work in cities, so small towns with elderly populations who are dying need new people. I see a similar thing happening in the USA but because of COVID deaths but in reverse, the loss of elderly people making services and businesses unsustainable so people leave and it accelerates.

Man maybe 2bed/1bath houses out here in my rural neck of the woods won't be fucking $250k anymore
That just sounds like a working sabbatical for rich young people who can do construction.
Yeah they have some contract where you have to spend like 5 years there, and it costs a bunch to repair the abandoned houses.
Same vibe as that reddit dyi post where a couple got "tired of the rat race" and retired to the turkish country side to buy and restore a b&b.
