Property prices

To buy

3,063 /

To rent

9.41 /m²/month

About the Bolzano/Bozen average of €2,894/m². Averaged across 4 OMI micro-zones, which can differ substantially within the same town.

Buy or rent

27.1 years of rent here equal the purchase priceabove the national median of 22.2 years.

A ratio between two OMI prices, not a return on investment. It leaves out purchase taxes, IMU, maintenance, financing and the months a place sits empty — all of which push the real figure up. Useful for the question it does answer: whether this town looks expensive to buy relative to what renting in it costs.

Condition

Housing here in excellent condition costs 17% more than ordinary condition — €3,592/m² against €3,063.

That gap is what the market charges for a place you don’t have to work on. It is not what the work would cost you — OMI prices property, not builders.

House or apartment

A detached house here averages 3,150/m², against €3,063 for an apartment.

Compared street for street — houses and flats priced in the same neighbourhood — a house costs 3% more per square metre.

OMI prices “Ville e Villini” separately from the apartments every other figure on this page describes. Nationally a house costs about 14% more per square metre, but in 450 comuni it costs less — worth checking rather than assuming.
