Tool 02 For buyers
How much space your budget buys.
We divide the budget by the OMI quotations of each lake municipality: the result is a range of square metres, from the most to the least expensive. These are quotations estimated by the Italian Revenue Agency, not prices of actual sales.
Quotations, not prices: OMI estimates a range per zone and type. A specific home can fall outside it.
With €600,000: about 1.9 times the space in Quarna Sopra compared with Orta San Giulio, at the middle of the quotations.

How we calculate
For each municipality we take, for the chosen type, every OMI zone that quotes it: the lowest minimum and the highest maximum. Square metres are the budget divided by the maximum (the least space), by the middle of the range and by the minimum (the most space), rounded to 5.
OMI quotations are ranges in euros per square metre estimated by the Revenue Agency per homogeneous zone, type and condition, partly from deeds and offers. They are not averages of sales and do not replace a valuation. Here they are all on gross (commercial) floor area and "normal" condition, the prevailing one in the zone: excellent and poor are not quoted in these municipalities.
In Italy the prices of individual deeds cannot be downloaded in bulk: the Agency's service requires authentication and shows one deed at a time. That is why we do not give medians of actual sales, as we do where the register is public.
When a type is missing in a municipality, OMI does not quote it because the market is not significant: it is not a zero price, and the row says so.
