Le marché immobilier a connu une baisse significative des transactions.
Environ 16% par rapport à l'année précédente. Liée à la montée des taux d'intérêt, qui ont presque quadruplé en 18 mois, c'est la première baisse des prix de l'immobilier depuis 10 ans. La conjoncture s'est détériorée au 2ème trimestre 2023, bien que les premiers indicateurs remontent à septembre 2022. Cette situation affecte le pouvoir d'achat des acquéreurs, les contraint à libérer un apport plus conséquent. Les vendeurs doivent ajuster leurs prix de vente en fonction des transactions récentes. Cependant, pour ceux qui possèdent leur bien depuis plus de 5 ans, des plus-values sont constatées dans chacune de nos ventes.
