The cost of buying a home in Villaviciosa de Odón

Almost nothing here is a second home: 17,69 % of dwellings are not somebody's main residence. The appraised average of 3.382,3 €/m² belongs to the small group of expensive Spanish municipalities. Villaviciosa de Odón is a town rather than a city, which in Madrid usually means one estate agency network knows most of the stock.

What you pay once, at the deed
