Property prices
Buying in Castelnuovo is well below the Trento average of €1,964/m². Based on a single OMI micro-zone, so it describes the town as one market.
34.6 years of rent here equal the purchase price — well above 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.
Housing here in excellent condition costs 30% more than ordinary condition — €1,750/m² against €1,350.
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.
A detached house here averages €1,400/m², against €1,350 for an apartment.
Compared street for street — houses and flats priced in the same neighborhood — a house costs 4% 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.
