House prices in Potenza
The OMI values of the Italian Revenue Agency, area by area: a yardstick for comparison, not an appraisal of a single property.
In Potenza, in the 1st half of 2026, a home in normal condition in a typical zone is worth between about €950 and €1,300/m² (approximately). These are the median values that the Italian Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes zone by zone, known as OMI property values (quotazioni OMI). The OMI property values are half-yearly averages, with a minimum and a maximum in euros per square metre, referring to homes in normal condition. If you are looking at an auction in the city, use these figures as your first point of comparison.
The differences between zones are significant. The lowest minimum is €600/m², in a peripheral rural zone (contrade) marked D1. The highest maximum is €1,750/m², in zone D6, between via dei Molinari and the surrounding area. If the property is in zone B2, the reference range runs from €850 to €1,350/m², and the central band has average minimums of €900 and average maximums of €1,200/m².
For rentals, the median value across zones is €4.1 per m² per month. Rents from contracts registered with the Italian Revenue Agency, that is, the average rents of registered contracts, vary greatly depending on the type of contract. The free-market 4+4 open-market lease reaches €5.9 per m² per month (624 homes). The 3+2 agreed-rent lease (canone concordato) stands at €3.8 (45 homes). The transitional lease for students stands at €2.2 (47 homes).
The average declared income in Potenza is €26,176, across 44,528 taxpayers, for the year 2024 (source: MEF, Department of Finance, Dipartimento delle Finanze). In the provincial capital, home sales (compravendite) have been 535 over the last four quarters. In the 2nd quarter of 2026 there were 151, with an annual change of 23% (provisional data from the Italian Revenue Agency, OMI). Around 40% of sales are made with a mortgage.
To read one, find the zone of the property, compare the price with the range for that zone, and then look at the reference rent.

What the OMI range really tells you
The OMI values of the Italian Revenue Agency are ranges for an area, a property type and a period. They do not value a single flat and do not replace a professional appraisal. A fair comparison also needs condition, floor, exposure and documentation.
On the auction pages, the “below the area value” discount shows how far the minimum offer per square metre is below the minimum of the area range. A lower value does not equal an expected gain.
