Real Estate in Yvelines: where to invest?

Everywhere in the department, the volume of transactions continues to decline, while the price decline accelerates. The phenomenon wins posh towns of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Versailles and Chambourcy.

No fewer than five railway stations and RER stations, schools deemed an enchanting ... With these advantages, the city of the Sun King raises more than ever the craze of wealthy families of the department, plus a strong contingent of Parisians attracted by the somewhat lower rates than in the capital. According to the Paris notaries, they even fell 8% in a year, the median price per square meter in the old now oscillating around 5270 euros. The tariff averages, however, vary by sector:

'In Notre Dame, first district built under Louis XIV, near the castle, average prices in the old hover around 6,000 euros per square meter, 'notes Yann Dudix, director of Central Agency Orpi Versailles. Missionaries Street, a 84-m2, in good condition, has been sold for 480 000 euros (5710 euros per square meter). Not far away, on the second floor of an old building of King Boulevard, a 44-m2 sold 280 000 euros (6360 euros per square meter).

In a stone building size 1960, a T2 of 69 m2, with a box in the basement, was purchased 355 thousand euros (5140 euros per square meter).

Further east, towards the Boulevard de Lesseps, the proximity of Montreuil station keeps prices high. On the boulevard next to the Saint-Symphorien church, a 70-m2 reaches the sum of 385 000 euros (5500 euros per square meter). But as soon as one moves away from the railway station, the rates drop significantly. Rue de l'Ecole des Postes, a 120-m2 sold 519 960 euros (4330 euros per square meter).

A price comparable to those prevailing around the stations of Versailles-Chantiers and Porchefontaine, two sectors in which motley built residential areas alternate with semi-recent collective ensembles. Rue du Pont Colbert, a fairly busy street dominated by buildings of the 1960s, a 56-m2 has been sold to 240 000 euros (4290 euros per square meter).

Side houses, the supply of goods is well below demand. The rates therefore remain stratospheric. In the district of Clagny-Glatigny, 100 meters in a straight line from the train station Versailles-Rive droite, a building of 180 m2, with a plot of 700 m2, changed owner without difficulty for the tidy sum. ..1,3 million.

Saint-Germain-en-Laye: sales at half mast

The market is worth in the city that saw the birth of the Sun King. 'Not many sellers and few buyers,' says, lapidary, Elsa Krouleff- Habert, of the Royal Agency. 'Vendors continue to practice the rates in force in 2012 'laments Betty Azulai, Saint-Germain council estate. If one believes the figures notaries, since last year, prices have yet decreased 5 to 6%, the average tariff in the old square meter amounting to € 5,100. That did not stop the sales volume falling by more than 20% at the same time. 'The further away the RER, the market is less active', says Mathieu helix, the agency that bears his name.

According to professionals, 9 out of 10 requests concerning property situated near the railway station, Place Saint-Germain twenty minutes from Charles de Gaulle-Etoile. Rue de Pontoise, close to the castle and a minute walk from the RER A T3 of 63 m2, located in a 1890 building, has sold € 380,000 (€ 6,030 per square meter). 'There are two years, would be left without much difficulty € 6,500 per square meter', provides Mathieu Helix. Near the Market Square Neuf Danès de Montardat street, in an eighteenth century building, a duplex of 96 m2, with terrace and parking, renovated, has been sold for € 688,000 (€ 7,170 per square meter) .

A couple bought, Marshal Joffre Street, a house of the 1950s, with an area of ​​290 m2, needs updating, with a garden of 1000 m2. Price: 1.65 million euros.Moins expensive is the Bel-Air neighborhood, at the motley frame which extends to the southwest of the city center. The 100-m2 semi-recent exchange it at around € 300,000. Continuing towards the north west, you reach the town of Chambourcy. Rail service lacking, it is, however, crossed by the A14, which saves the capital in fifteen minutes, and it is a few minutes drive from the international school of Saint-Germain. Rue du Clos-de-la-Family, a recent house of 130 m2, with garden and garage, is a party to € 600,000.

Too expensive? We must then explore the side of Aigremont, commune located 2 km west of Chambourcy. A pavilion of the 1980s, with an area of ​​180 m2, refreshing, with a garden, it went to € 3,611 per square meter.

Sartrouville: small shape

Ten minutes from RER of Defense, the second town of Yvelines (53 000) after Versailles attracts managers from West Paris, or Vésinet Hauts-de-Seine. 'The city has gentrified with the arrival of the customer rather easy', says Christophe Bouard, Agence Station. Rising for years, the rates of the former now rising to € 3,200 per square meter for apartments and € 3,700 for homes.

Result: young Sartrouvillois 'strain' tend to settle in the surrounding communities -to Herblay and Cormeilles-en-Parisis, including two cities of Val-d'Oise, neighboring department where prices are softer. 'A Sartrouville, 4-room location is trading at around € 320,000.

A Cormeilles, the same type of property rarely trading at more than € 260,000, 'says Guillaume Rihouey, Laforêt Activ'immo.Les have prices reached their ceiling? Their virtual standstill last year (+ 0.1%, according to the notaries) did not prevent the Sartrouvillois market decline significantly. Twelve month rolling basis, the volume of sales has indeed fallen by 25%. Now, most of the activity is concentrated in a radius of 1.5 km around the station, located in the city center. The most quoted neighborhoods are those of Vaudoire, the Ten Acres and Plain.

Rambouillet: the disenchanted forest

Nestled between the forest of Rambouillet and the more extensive yet, the Chevreuse Valley, this town located just thirty minutes from Montparnasse train traditionally families happy and wealthy retirees in search of peace and quiet. Yet here too, the gloomy echo of the real estate crisis is heard. 'The demand has halved in a year and the price of old goods declined significantly', is particularly concerned Christiane Bouziat, agency AB Realty.

According to figures of the Paris notaries, falling prices over year is around 15.5% .And if it was the time to buy? To believe Zouein Georges, director of the transactions within the company Geniez, 'the signs' house for sale 'popping up everywhere.' A Reims family one of whose members was posted in the sector acquired Clos-Batant the street, a house from 1974, with an area of ​​115 m2, with a garden of 350 m2, for a reasonable $ 280 € 000. Renovation of all estimated at € 10,000 were expected. 'There are two years left at this property would be € 330,000', assures Christiane Bouziat.

The prices of recent property or in good condition are significantly higher.

As for the new home market, it is also struggling. 'Investors were not convinced by the implementation of tax exemption device Duflot' Christiane Bouziat analysis. At Rambouillet, a studio rents between 350 and 400 € a month, she calculates. 'Not enough to be profitable ...'

Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines: sales plummet

Old 'new city' created from scratch by the state in 1970, the urban community of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines -Guyancourt includes seven municipalities Elancourt, Trappes, La Verrière, Magny-les-Hameaux, Montigny le-Bretonneux and Voisins-le-Bretonneux- and houses a total of 14 000 inhabitants. Integrated in the sector said 'the Saclay plateau', together form the second economic center in western Paris, after the defense, gathering close to 100 000 jobs in growing sectors such as engineering (Areva, Bouygues) or high technology (Snecma, Thales).

But realtors the urban community are rather long face. 'We have achieved fewer sales in 2013', Jean Grolleau is concerned, the agency Twin Transactions, in Guyancourt. 'A Trappes and Elancourt, real estate activity fell by 30%' laments Yannick Laird, ERA agency Elancourt.La city of Guyancourt, home to major international companies, including the Renault Technocentre and Challenger , headquarters of Bouygues Construction, pulls out of the game through an ever active market.

Rue André Leroi-Gourhan, close to the Technocentre, 4-room of 84 m2, from the 1990s, to refresh, quickly sold at € 295,000 (€ 3,510 per square meter) .Très requested, the small surfaces depart in higher prices yet. Philibert-Delorme Street, a studio of 30 m2 in good condition, located in a 1996 residence, found a buyer for € 139,000 (€ 4,630 per square meter). Gérard-Philipe Street, a couple of Parisian engineers with children is offered for € 610,000 a house from 1985, with an area of ​​125 m2, 4 bedrooms, with a beautiful wooded land of 1600 m2.

South of Guyancourt and Montigny-le-Bretonneux, agricultural surfaces extend to the horizon. In the small village of Magny-les-Hameaux, prices collapse. A 3-bedroom apartment of 70 m2 has changed hands for € 210,000 (€ 3,000 per square meter).

Mantes-la-Jolie: prices down

'I'm in Mantes, my pretty', wrote in substance the gentleman. We guess more ... Located near the Regional Natural Park of Vexin and half past one in Deauville by the A13, Mantes-la-Jolie, is the country town par excellence.

Poissy: a wait

Located twenty minutes from Paris by train, on the edge of the forest of Saint-Germain-en-Laye and near the golf course, the town of Poissy is popular for its calm and tranquility.
