Property prices
Buying in San Donà di Piave is well below the Venezia average of €1,552/m². Averaged across 3 OMI micro-zones, which can differ substantially within the same town. OMI records no rental figures here.
Housing here in excellent condition costs 43% more than ordinary condition — €1,624/m² against €1,133.
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 €1,113/m², against €1,133 for an apartment.
Compared street for street — houses and flats priced in the same neighbourhood — the two cost about the same per square metre — the opposite of what the two averages above suggest, because OMI prices houses and flats in different parts of town.
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.
