Expected award price

likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €7,000,258
€3.1M to €6.5M

Comparable awards in this country and sector came in at a median of 69% of their published estimate, half of them between 44% and 93%, based on 155 awards of the last 3 years.

Each award is compared with the estimate of the same lots, framework agreements excluded. A published estimate may include options and renewals, so an award under it is not always a discount.

What this market pays

The buyer has too few awards of its own in this sector, so this is the range of the last 323 awards for Culture, sport & recreation in Italy.

This notice
€7.0M
Median award
€420,000
