Real estate in the outskirts of Poitiers is attractive, with prices falling

Saint-Benoît and south

« Saint-Benoît, like Ligugé or Smarves are promising municipalitiesnotes Vincent Giraud real estate agent from Labell Immo in Saint-Benoît. For us, spring was very good, as well as the beginning of summer, September seems calmer. » To the extent that sellers are willing to follow his estimates, sales happen. It states the sale, “ in fifteen days », a 1985 pavilion of 100 m² on one level with land of 700 m² for the sum of €220,000. “ It was simply necessary to plan a refresh of the decoration. » A similar property from 1973, still in Saint-Benoît, on 100 m² and with 600 m² of land, this time completely in need of renovation, sold in three weeks for €148,000.

More opulent properties also find buyers. Like this beautiful house without work, dating from 1985, sold for €280,000 by Labell Immo, for 140 m² of living space and 600 m² of land. Square Habitat indicates the sale of a large house of 190 m² dating from the 1970s, requiring major renovation, for an amount of €240,000. “ This may seem lowunderlines Gautier Lecouturier, deputy commercial director of the brand in Vienne. But, with a works budget of around €1,000/m², we achieve a budget consistent with the local market. »

Saint-Benoît attracts new inhabitants: during a welcome ceremony in September, fifty of them were counted. They highlight the green living environment, local shops and services. It is mainly the Lonjoies-Vallée Mouton district, as well as the town center or the Ermitage-La Varenne sector which is home to them.

Second crown

Beyond ten kilometers from the town of Poitiers, demand is still present, as access is easy.

In Nouaillé-Maupertuis, Square Habitat completed a transaction for a well-made 180 m² house, with 2,000 m² of land, for the sum of €290,000. For the Guy Hoquet agency in Poitiers, managed by Gauthier Perron, a recent four-bedroom house and a small plot of land in Ligugé costs around €200,000; while in Fontaine-le-Comte or Iteuil, it will be at a slightly lower price of €190,000. According to the agency, prices are holding up there.

In a hamlet in the commune of Saint-Georges-lès-Baillargeaux, the Ernest Immo agency reports the sale of a single-storey pavilion from 2005 of 90 m² for an amount of €165,000. The decoration needed to be refreshed. “ There is a demand for this type of property », Estimates Alexandre Garnier, real estate agent for the brand. According to this specialist, first-time buyers can always find a property. “ But, if it is poorly energy classified, the banks will break down the loan: grant €130,000 for the house and €30,000 for the insulation work. Therefore, the main budget is reduced and the surface area of ​​the property is also reduced. » And this deprives you of the possibility of doing the work yourself.

Average price for a 100 m house² : €170,000 in Neuville-de-Poitou.

West and north

With its shops, its very easy road access and its proximity to Poitiers, Buxerolles remains a safe bet. Édouard Desvignes, transaction negotiator at Citya CIP-ADP in Poitiers, indicates for example that a beautiful recent house, with four bedrooms, including one on the ground floor, and a garage sold for €320,000 in one week at Poitevins. It also had an energy diagnosis classified C. A point that comes up more and more in discussions with customers. In the same town, a demolished pavilion will soon allow seventy housing units to be built.

For Alexandre Garnier, responsible for transactions at Ernest Immobilier in Jaunay-Marigny, “ there is activity, but for sellers who respect our estimate. Otherwise, nothing happens “. He thus notes a clear reversal of the balance of power in favor of buyers. He considers his sector dynamic, even if prices are not very high due to penalizing DPE when heating is oil or gas. “ Houses rated F or G must be worth buying “, he believes.

He recently sold a three-bedroom basement pavilion, clean and without work, for €160,000, the level of his estimate, in one month. He also cites a three-bedroom pavilion, covering 105 m², also with a basement, negotiated for €135,000 – the starting price being €150,000. There is work to be planned, such as electricity and insulation.

In the western part of the urban area, in Vouneuil-sous-Biard, the A Immobilier agency sold, “ right away », a beautiful house with swimming pool and garden, for €320,000. According to Denis Chevalier, its manager, the range for a classic 90 m² pavilion on the outskirts, “same redone”is between 200,000 and 250,000 €.
