How many years of income a home costs in Friuli, town by town
In the median municipality of Friuli Venezia Giulia, a 100 m² home at its OMI value costs 3.3 years of the average income declared by the people who live there. Only 13 towns go past five years: the busiest beaches and ski resorts, the lagoon town of Marano, and Trieste with its Karst.

How the figure is built, and its limits
Take the OMI value of an ordinary flat in normal condition (the median of the town's OMI zones, first half of 2026), multiply by 100 m², and divide by the average taxable income that Italy's Ministry of Economy publishes for each municipality from the returns on 2024 incomes. The result is how many years of one person's gross income, all of it, the home would swallow.
- A couple with two incomes roughly halves the figure.
- It is gross: before tax, running costs, mortgage payments and interest.
- The price is OMI's estimate, not what buyers sign for at the notary (three prices for one house).
- A few big earners move the average. In Moruzzo, people declaring over €120,000 account for 30% of the town's income: a home there looks like 2.4 years, but for someone earning what most neighbours earn it is more.
Under three years: the mountains and the Gorizia area
61 towns come in under three years. 28 are in the mountains, where the median town's homes are valued at €650/m² against €790/m² regionally, while incomes are only a little lower: €21,700 against €23,800. Clauzetto sits at 2.4 years, Tramonti di Sopra at 2.4, Erto e Casso at 2.5.
The other 33 lie outside the mountains: half of them in the province of Gorizia, where 17 of its 25 towns stay under three years (Cormons 2.9), many in the foothills north of Pordenone. Here a home is within reach of local incomes.
Over five years: holiday resorts and Trieste
13 towns pass five years, and they fall into two groups.
- Holiday places: Lignano, Grado, Sappada and, in the mountains, Ravascletto, Forni di Sopra, Tarvisio, Sauris; plus Marano, next to Lignano. In the first seven, tourists spend between 60.1 (Tarvisio) and 537.5 (Lignano) nights a year per resident, against 1.8 in the median town; in 2011, 88% of Lignano's dwellings had no resident. People buy here for holidays as well, and prices track that demand more than local pay.
- Trieste and its Karst towns: incomes much like Udine's, prices of a city by the sea. OMI value in Trieste €2,100/m², in Udine €1,275/m².
| Town | Years of income for 100 m² |
|---|---|
| Lignano Sabbiadoro | 11.8 |
| Sappada | 10.3 |
| Grado | 9.0 |
| Trieste | 7.7 |
| Muggia | 7.5 |
| Duino Aurisina | 7.0 |
| San Dorligo della Valle | 6.5 |
| Sgonico | 6.2 |
| Ravascletto | 6.1 |
| Forni di Sopra | 5.9 |
| Marano Lagunare | 5.3 |
| Tarvisio | 5.1 |
| Sauris | 5.1 |
Set these thirteen aside and the rest of the region runs from 2.4 to 4.7 years, cities included: Pordenone 3.7, Gorizia 4.1, Udine 4.4, Monfalcone 4.6; in Udine's commuter belt, Tavagnacco 4.6. Prices town by town: what homes cost.
Rent, seen from the tenant's side
The same sum for a tenant: 70 m² at the OMI rent for twelve months, as a share of the town's average income.
- Median town 11.6%; Pordenone 15.4%, Udine 16.8%, Gorizia 18.7%.
- Trieste 24.5%, Muggia 25.6%.
- Lignano 53.3%: the highest OMI rent in the region, €16.4/m² a month.
In the ski villages the picture flips. In Sappada a home costs 10.3 years of income, yet a year's rent takes only 16.8%: long lets pay little there, and the gross yield there, 2.3%, is the region's lowest. Holiday lets follow other rules.
For landlords: rents town by town and what a let really earns.
