“Search for a house near the built-up area”. Here is in brief the flagship request of candidates for the purchase of real estate since the first confinement. An attraction for homes, rural and peri-urban areas that has continued to be confirmed ever since. But how much does a house cost close to the 10 major French cities, outside the borders of Ile-de-France?
“The price of houses is increasing twice as fast as that of apartments”: one by one, the real estate players and observers confirm to what extent the houses have been fighting back in recent months, like the network MeilleurAgents, which advances this statistic in its barometer of December 1. Since January 1, 2021, this network announces that house prices have increased by more than 6%, against 3.2% for apartments. And it is the houses in rural areas that saw their prices soar most clearly, with an increase of 8.3%. MeilleurAgents confirms another strong phenomenon of the year 2021: “the disenchantment of buyers for large cities mainly relates to peri-urban areas”.
