Lower price per square metre does not always mean a lower total cost
The figures show why buyers need to distinguish between price per square metre and the total asking price of a home.
Via Costantino in Palermo is fifth in the national table at €1,390/m², but its AVERAGE property price is €920,000. This is due to the fact that properties are, on average, much larger than those on other streets in the top ten.
The lowest asking price per property among all streets analysed was on Corso Toscana in Turin, at €118,000, despite a higher average price of €1,903/m².
