How many square metres your budget buys, town by town

Square metres = budget divided by the town's OMI value. That value is the middle one among the average quotations of its OMI zones, for homes in normal condition, first half of 2026: “villas and detached houses” for a house, “standard dwellings” for a flat. They are gross floor areas, like the quotations themselves.

The map colours the towns in five bands, pale for little space and dark for a lot; the table beside it ranks them, with the price per square metre.

• Taxes, notary and agency fees come on top; the guide buying a house in Italy explains which.
• Condition. OMI covers ordinary homes: a renovation project costs less per square metre and buys more of them; a new or prestige home buys fewer.
• Location. Values move within a town: in Udine, quotations for a standard dwelling run from €850/m² to €2,200/m².
• The real price. The Revenue Agency itself warns that its quotations are broad indications, not a valuation of a particular home.

Choose Udine or Trieste and a minutes slider appears: only the towns within that drive, without traffic, from the town hall stay lit. It is the quickest way to find the right commuter belt: anyone working in the city sees how much space each extra quarter of an hour buys. To weigh hospitals, sun or fibre too, use Your Friuli; prices are discussed in the guide house prices, and a set budget in what €200,000 buys.
