Property prices

To buy

€800 /m²

To rent

€2.40 /m²/month

Buying in Villanova del Ghebbo is below the Rovigo average of €921/m². Averaged across 2 OMI micro-zones, which can differ substantially within the same town.

Buy or rent

27.8 years of rent here equal the purchase price — above the national median of 22.2 years.

A ratio between two OMI prices, not a return on investment. It leaves out purchase taxes, IMU, maintenance, financing and the months a place sits empty — all of which push the real figure up. Useful for the question it does answer: whether this town looks expensive to buy relative to what renting in it costs.

House or apartment

A detached house here averages €938/m², against €800 for an apartment.

Compared street for street — houses and flats priced in the same neighborhood — a house costs 17% more per square meter.

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 meter, but in 450 comuni it costs less — worth checking rather than assuming.
