Property prices

To buy

€1,325 /m²

To rent

€4.92 /m²/month

About the Varese average of €1,300/m². Averaged across 2 OMI micro-zones, which can differ substantially within the same town.

Buy or rent

22.4 years of rent here equal the purchase price, close to 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.

House or apartment

A detached house here averages €1,700/m², against €1,325 for an apartment.

Compared street for street — houses and flats priced in the same neighborhood — a house costs 28% more per square meter.

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 meter, but in 450 comuni it costs less — worth checking rather than assuming.

Agenzia delle Entrate — Osservatorio del Mercato Immobiliare (OMI), semester 2025 H2. Figures are midpoints of OMI’s surveyed ranges for “Abitazioni civili” in normal condition — a guide to the market, not a valuation of any particular property. OMI is Agenzia delle Entrate’s official range of market values per m², built from recorded sales and appraisals. Asking prices on listing sites are what sellers hope for, and usually run higher.

Seismic zone

Brezzo di Bedero is in seismic zone 4. Of the four zones, zone 1 is the highest hazard and zone 4 the lowest. The Department of Civil Protection describes zone 4 as the lowest-hazard zone, where a strong earthquake is very unlikely.

This is the legal classification the Region gave the comune, used for planning and for control of building works. It is not a forecast, and it says nothing about the building you are looking at: since the 2018 building code the design load of a new building comes from site-specific hazard, not from the zone. Have any specific property checked by a qualified engineer.

Not to be confused with the “seismic” routes of the 7% pensioner regime. Those turn on whether the comune was in the 2009 L’Aquila or 2016–17 central-Italy earthquake areas, not on its zone, and being in zone 1 does not make anyone eligible for that regime, or for any tax treatment.

Hospital, airport and daily-needs distance

Nearest hospital: Ospedale Luini Confalonieri - Luino, about 4.7 km / 6 minutes by road from the geographic center of the comune.

Nearest emergency department: Ospedale Luini Confalonieri - Luino (Pronto Soccorso), about 4.7 km / 6 minutes by road from the geographic center of the comune.

The nearest hospital the Ministero della Salute lists in its emergency network (31 December 2025) as DEA level I or II or Pronto Soccorso.

Nearest DEA (level I or II): Ospedale di Circolo e Fondazione Macchi, Varese (DEA level II), about 29.7 km / 35 minutes by road from the geographic center of the comune.

The nearest hospital the Ministero della Salute lists in its emergency network (31 December 2025) as DEA level I or II, leaving out Pronto Soccorso sites.

Nearest supermarket (OpenStreetMap): Carrefour, about 3.5 km / 5 minutes by road from the geographic center of the comune.
