Property prices
Buying in Castel Volturno is well below the Caserta average of €880/m². Averaged across 6 OMI micro-zones, which can differ substantially within the same town.
14.7 years of rent here equal the purchase price — well below 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.
