The market in Normandy has also seen some major jumps
in property prices over the last 12 months. The average
house in Caen has risen in price by 10.9%, in Rouen by
10.1% and in Le Havre by 6.4%, with apartment prices not
far behind.
Lesley Okey lives and works in Normandy:
"Here in my area there are buyers from across the board
- Parisians looking for second homes due to easy access,
Brits still looking to relocate (so often wanting an income)
and Belgians and Dutch, due to proximity and value of
properties. All international buyers tell me that prices
here are great value compared to their home countries.
As always, there is a huge interest in equestrian properties,
particularly from British, Dutch and Belgians given the
extortionate prices for suitable land in those countries.
There isn't a typical budget, I have buyers at 50,000 euros
and am also currently negotiating on a 4.5m euro stud.
We have something for everyone here."
Claire Murphy lives on the coast, just south of Granville
(often called "The Monaco of the North):
"The market here on the coast is traditionally very buoyant
and has been even more so since COVID, with values
almost doubling next to the ocean. My most popular
request on the coast is for a "maison individuelle" with a
garden. Apartments are not so popular, unless in a main
town. Some developers are altering plans, away from
apartment developments, in favour of houses. There is
not a lot of new stock coming to the market, yet we have
unprecedented demand - if you are thinking of selling
then there has never been a better time".
Growth across the board.
