The real estate sector is doing well in Chartres. The Chamber of Notaries of Eure-et-Loir observes a double-digit price increase, from July 2020 to June 2021, on the sales of old houses in the prefecture of Eure-et-Loir. Professionals in the sector note a “scarcity” of goods on the market.
How have property prices evolved in Chartres?
The increase in demand, after successive lockdowns, has led to an increase in property prices in Chartres and in the agglomeration. The median sale price of older homes jumped 11% from July 2020 to June 2021 to reach € 216,300, according to data communicated by the Chamber of Notaries of Eure-et-Loir. The median price per m² of old houses reached € 2,160 over the same period.
This dynamic can also be seen in the sales of old apartments. Their median price per m² (€ 2,230) increased by 8.2% in one year.
Louis Marceul, notary in Chartres and member of the chamber of notaries of Eure-et-Loir, analyzes:
“Like other cities on the outskirts of Paris, Chartres has benefited from the consequences of the health crisis and the need for Ile-de-France residents to go green. “

Symbolic thresholds have been crossed. “In Chartres, the median price per square meter of old apartments has exceeded the € 2,000 mark and the median price of old houses has crossed the symbolic threshold of € 200,000”, illustrates Louis Marceul.

What are the most dynamic sectors in the agglomeration?
In the Chartres agglomeration, the median price per m² of old apartments exceeds the € 2,000 mark in Coudray and Lèves. The same goes for the old houses in Louillard, Lèves, Le Coudray, Champhol and Mainvilliers.
What are the current issues in this sector?
Notaries and real estate agents seem unanimous: the real estate market has been tightening in Chartres since the start of the school year.
Norman Paraut, sales director at Foncia Brette, present in Chartres, Épernon and Dreux, deciphers:
“We suffer from a lack of goods to sell. We have never had so little stock. Therefore, prices continue to rise. “

The professional notices a reduction in sales times. “There are so few products on the market that goods go out in ten or fifteen days. Even if there is work to be done, that is not a hindrance for many buyers, observes the real estate agent. Some houses are trading for 10,000 to 20,000 € more than two years ago. “

Marc Aviron, director of the Aviron agency, also points out “a scarcity of products”. Some of his clients, who come from the Paris region, “do not hesitate to rent in Chartres while waiting to find a house to buy”.
