House prices in Varese
The OMI values of the Italian Revenue Agency, area by area: a yardstick for comparison, not an appraisal of a single property.
In Varese, a home in the central zone is worth on average between €1,375 and €1,825 per m² for sale, while in the outskirts the average falls between €1,285 and €1,660 per m². These are the OMI property values (quotazioni OMI), that is, the average values that the Italian Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes every six months zone by zone, in euros per square metre, with minimum and maximum, for homes in normal condition. Those for the 1st half of 2026 cover 13 zones.
The most useful figure is the gap between zones. The most expensive, zone B1 in the centre, ranges from €1,600 to €2,200 per m². The cheapest, D12, ranges from €900 to €1,300 per m². If you are looking at an auction in Varese, first check which zone the property falls in, because the reference value changes a great deal from one neighbourhood to another.
For rentals, the median across zones is €5.7 per m² per month. In B1 the range rises to €9.4-10.6, while in D12 it falls to €3.9-5.7. The open-market 4+4 lease (contratto 4+4) records €8.1 per m² per month, the 3+2 agreed-rent lease (canone concordato) €6.7.
Also keep an eye on income. The average income declared in the municipality in 2024 is €30,648, according to the MEF (Dipartimento delle Finanze). For sales in the provincial capital, the Italian Revenue Agency (OMI) counts 1,203 deeds in the last four quarters. In the 2nd quarter of 2026, 314 were registered, with an annual change of -3%. According to provisional data, around half of the sales were made with a mortgage.
When you read the law, compare the price with the values of the zone and remember that OMI property values are averages, not an estimate of the individual property.

How these numbers are calculated
- Values
- Euro per m² for the sale of homes in normal condition (standard homes, where the area lists them), minimum and maximum of the area.
- Average of the minimums / maximums
- Average, over the areas of the band, of the minimum values and of the maximum values.
- Median of the minimums
- Half of the areas have a lower minimum value than this, half a higher one (the same for the maximums).
- Most expensive vs cheapest area
- The maximum value of the most expensive area divided by the minimum of the cheapest one.
- Median rent
- Median, over the areas, of the central value of the rent range, in euro per m² a month.
- Areas with an excellent-condition value
- Areas where the Agency also publishes the value for homes in excellent condition.

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.
