Property prices
About the Bologna average of €2,143/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 17% more than ordinary condition — €2,375/m² against €2,025.
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 €1,825/m², against €2,025 for an apartment.
Compared street for street — houses and flats priced in the same neighbourhood — the two cost about the same per square metre.
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.
