market value is not statistically significant. Then we conclude that in general
evaluations formulated by the OMI officers are not too far from the prices
actually realized on the market.
The coefficient of the surface is always smaller than one, which means
that the marginal price for an additional square meter decreases with a decreasing rate. As expected, a second bathrooms or more, as well as the presence of at least a garage, positively influences the transaction price. Living
on a high (resp. ground) floor is better (resp. worse) than living on a middle
floor, between the second and the third floor. A flat to be renovated has a
lower value with respect to a flat in normal conditions.
The type of building matters as well as its age. For example, in Milan inner city, properties built before the fifties are on average more appreciated
than those built more recently. This is explained by the fact that the oldest
buildings, many of which are interesting from an architectural point of view
