search house with garden at any cost

Anthony Santoro has been in real estate for thirteen years. His observation is clear: “Real estate is not suffering from the crisis,” says the specialist who cut his teeth in Yutz before opening his agency in Hagondange.

“During the first confinement, we certainly did not work, but since then we have adapted, we have innovated with virtual visits, mandates and electronic signatures. »Concretely, since January, his agency Orpi achieved 22 sales in record time. “Before, it took three months on average, here we went over a period of one or even two months maximum. “

The most wanted properties? “Small houses, with garden, located on the A31 axis. »Average budget: between € 250,000 and € 300,000. “The most popular areas are those of Bousse, Ay, Trémery. There are also Hagondange and Maizières for their proximity to the station. Luxembourg continues to have its effect. “

Rare goods

The goods are so rare that the future buyers bet today on more distant localities, located on the side of the valley of the Orne. Clouange, Rosselange, Vitry-sur-Orne, Marange, Rombas regain a notorious interest.

Those who dream of building will have to look elsewhere. ” There is nothing left. And as soon as we get closer to the border, prices explode. You can easily reach € 26,000 per are. “

As for the real estate value, it suffers the full force of Luxembourg’s appeal: “A similar property sold in Maizières, Richemont or Mondelange will easily cost € 50,000 more as soon as it is located near Thionville and beyond. “

More demand than supply

Over the past year, 70% of searches have been for houses. “It is difficult to bring in new goods as the supply is low and the competition is fierce. This is unheard of. In the most popular towns, we no longer even negotiate prices. Buying in Bousse for € 400,000 has become logical. We don’t even have time to publish the announcement that the property has already been sold. We have a growing list of potential buyers. “

Guénange, Metzervisse, Volstroff take advantage of the lack of property along the motorway to attract new owners. Today, settling in Luttange or Metzeresche is no longer a problem despite the 20 km between Thionville and Metz.

1% over 20 years

The low rates since 2017 are not unrelated to this upturn in activity. “We are far from the 5% of 2008, when I started. Thanks to this, budgets have swelled by € 50,000. Currently, we are flirting with the 1%. You can become a homeowner for less than € 1,000 reimbursement per month over 20 years. And it will last at least until 2022, ”said Anthony.

You will have understood it: if you are looking to leave your apartment to go green, to move from tenant to owner, you will have to be patient and be reactive. “The demand is greater than the supply. Most sales are done through an agency. It reassures. “
