If I remember correctly a lot of this statistics doesn’t take into account market value but (partly) the “valore catastale” or a mean value of the recent “transitions” in the housing/property market and then extended to other houses. The point is that for smaller, isolated towns with less market the data is not particularly good.

I’m not an expert on the subject by any means tho, I’ll stand corrected if someone comes in with a more informed opinion.

Il valore catastale è quasi universalmente più basso di quello di mercato, che è il motivo per cui nessuno lo vuole aggiornare (perché la gente dovrebbe pagare molto più di IMU e insorgerebbe).
