Property prices

To buy

605 /

To rent

2.45 /m²/month

About the Agrigento average of €650/m². Averaged across 5 OMI micro-zones, which can differ substantially within the same town.

Buy or rent

20.6 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 770/m², against €605 for an apartment.

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.
