Property prices
Buying in Torrazza Coste 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 21% more than ordinary condition — €1,020/m² against €840.
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 €840 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.
