How much house does €200,000 buy in Friuli, and where?

The sum is simple: €200,000 divided by each town's OMI value for a flat in average condition (first half of 2026). The answer runs from 65 m² in Lignano Sabbiadoro to 385 m² in the Natisone valleys.

The darker the dot, the more space. Deep green fills the valleys – Val Tramontina and the Friulian Dolomites, the Natisone, Carnia, the hills north of Pordenone. The pale dots sit around Pordenone and Udine, on the coast and in Trieste.

The top of the list is small and remote (Drenchia: Udine in 55 min, emergency care in 57 min). Extra space is often paid for in driving.

In Bordano €200,000 is worth 340 m² of flat or 265 m² of detached house. Around it:

• the emergency department at Tolmezzo in 19 min, Udine's main hospital in 36 min;
• Udine 38 min by car, Klagenfurt 1 h 36;
• fibre to the home for 99.2% of households.

The low price has a measurable flip side. On 21 December the town hall gets 5 h 37 min of direct sun, against 8 h 34 min with a flat horizon: the mountains take 2 h 58 min. The town is also in seismic zone 1, the highest (what that means). Trasaghis, also in the Gemona area, has the same OMI value (€590/m²) and 7 h 40 min of December sun. Between two villages at one price, the mountain decides.

In Gemona €200,000 buys 220 m², in Tarcento 230 m². What you get in return is a small town: Gemona has 10 supermarkets and 4 upper secondary schools, Tarcento 4 supermarkets, Bordano 1 supermarket.

• Udine: 33 min from Gemona, 28 min from Tarcento;
• nearest A&E: San Daniele for both, 23 min from Gemona and 26 min from Tarcento;
• December sun almost uncut: 7 h 43 min in Gemona, 8 h 14 min in Tarcento on 21 December.

Both are in seismic zone 1 too.

In the ring of towns around Udine the median is 220 m², but the spread is wide: 155 m² in Tavagnacco, 190 m² in Pasian di Prato, 260 m² in Reana del Rojale, 255 m² in Remanzacco. In 6 towns of 11, the budget reaches 200 m² or more. From each of them the city centre is within 17 min, and an emergency department within 17 min.

One step further out, still under thirty minutes' drive, Faedis and Nimis give 290 m².

On the coast and in the ski resorts the budget shrinks: 65 m² in Lignano, 90 m² in Grado, 80 m² in Sappada, 155 m² in Tarvisio. These are holiday-home markets: in the 2011 census, the share of homes not lived in by residents reached 88% in the municipality of Lignano and 67% in that of Grado. In Grado a detached house gives more room than a flat: 130 m².

Check the hospital here too: from Sappada the nearest A&E in the region is 56 min away, from Tarvisio 44 min – though Villach hospital, across the Austrian border, is 26 min.

• The square metres come from the OMI value, an order of magnitude for the zone, not from a listing or a deed (how to read it).
• Not all the budget goes on the house: purchase taxes, the notary and any agent come on top.
• Values are for average condition. A house to renovate costs less per square metre, but the works belong in the budget; a freshly renovated one costs more.
• Floor areas are gross, walls included, so the usable space is smaller.

With €100,000 you reach at least 100 m² in 185 towns; with €300,000, at least 200 m² in 206 towns.
