Property prices
Buying in Spessa is 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 20% more than ordinary condition — €1,030/m² against €860.
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 €820/m², against €860 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.
