What if the Covid-19 pandemic benefits the real estate market? This is exactly what the firm Côté Particulier thinks, which has decided to open a branch in Dijon, at number 5 of the place Darcy. Elodie Sabater is the head of the Dijon offices.
Healthy real estate
“Dijon’s real estate market is resisting the Covid crisis well“Elodie Sabater explains straight away. For her, the crisis is not having a negative impact on the market, on the contrary. “The year 2020 was the third best year in terms of real estate transactions“she continues. And even in the first quarter of 2021, the market remained dynamic.”Since opening our offices three weeks ago, I have already made three sales“she finishes.
And while the third confinement has just started, there is no fear of falling sales, quite the contrary. “Real estate remains a very dynamic market and people still need to find housing, buy or rent.“. And far from fearing a drop because of the confinement, we know that said confinement will on the contrary boost sales.
The houses have the coast
Elodie Sabater explains that for the moment, her main clients are from Dijon or Côte d’Or, but he has already sold a property to … A Parisian! “For the past year, there has been a rush for real estate outside Île-de-France“she confides. This Parisian bought her a house, and he’s not the only one.
“Schools will close for at least three weeks, teleworking is encouraged … People will potentially be looking for a house that is a little bigger, or even with a garden, especially with the arrival of sunny days.“She continues. Are the Côte-d’Oriens looking for second homes?” They are of course in the minority, but it happens. ”
Elodie Sabater also notes that rental apartments easily find new residents. “Last week I had ten people for an apartment and it started very, very quickly!“she concludes.
