Property prices
Buying in Corana is well below the Pavia average of €1,069/m². Based on a single OMI micro-zone, so it describes the town as one market. OMI records no rental figures here.
Housing here in excellent condition costs 25% more than ordinary condition — €935/m² against €750.
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 €790/m², against €750 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.
