The price of apartments thus increased from 1

Sales of new homes redécollent. With a number of products sold 29.915, they have recovered in the second quarter of 2010 the level of before the crisis, registering an increase of 12 on 3 months rolling. It was that 1 between the first quarter of 2010 and the last three months of 2009. Over the same period of last year, rising is 7.6, sales of apartments, rising 5.7 and those of the houses of 23.3. But on the latter category, there is an optical effect. Their sales had restarted strongly in the third quarter of 2009. Between the first and the second quarter of 2010 the progression is more than 5, and even helped by the end of the doubling of the loan rate zero late June.

On the other hand, change is on the apartments, which represent 88 of the market. Sales jumped 13 percent in three months to end June, amplifying the inflationary movement. The price of apartments thus increased from 1.8 in three months and by 5.4 over one year to 3.556 euros per average square metre. Federation of builders sponsors (TDC) is even an increase of 7 of the price of the apartments to 3.801 euros per square metre in the second quarter over a year. But "our developers are more implanted in tense areas," tempering its President Marc Pigeon. For homes, the average price continued its decline to 237.300 euros lot, withdrawal of 4.2 in one year.

In a comprehensive way, with the application, supply is growing insufficiently. In the second quarter of 2010, updates for sale increased by 57 in one year and 19 in three months, but the proposed stock to sales continued to decline, while the average flow time is passed in a year from 9 months to under 7 months for the collective, and more than 12 months and a half to 8 months for houses.

Despite this increase in sales, developers feel always sick market. Of course, the bar of the 110,000 sales 12 sliding months is exceeded (110.200) but "the home ownership remains too low, representing the same proportion of our sales, or 35 in the second quarter compared with 65 of Scellier, observes Marc Pigeon." "Applied to the 110,000 sales, this rate represents roughly 38,000 to 40,000 accessions to the property, or need to 70,000, with total of 135.000 housing sales, so developers respond to the request.

There is also the question of the price of the apartments. Potential slip again "Crisis in the second quarter of 2009 prices are a very low baseline," relativizes the President of the TDC. Moreover, in the second quarter, the increase in volumes and prices focuses on studios and a room: 38 of sales over a year and 11.3 on prices, 4.526 euro m2.

Shortage of small surfaces

There is obviously a shortage of small surfaces, the property of predilection of the regime Scellier, for which outstanding proposed sale decline (-2) while the sales jumped by 85 in one year. The pressure is not the same on parts two and three, key segments of the market. On two parts, the volume of sales increased by 5 in one year and prices by 4.3 to 3.580 euros per square metre. Sales of three pieces fell by 4.6. Their price increases ( 4.6) and decrease the outstanding products offered for sale but it nevertheless still represents 23.305 housing, against less than 5,000 studios and a room.

The pattern of the Federation of builders and developers however anticipates a sensitive increase in price soon for all units. "The generation of real programs buildings low consommatinons, BBC, will arrive on the market from the second half, and their cost of construction should translate, according to our current estimates, by an increase of between 3.5 and 5 sale price", believe. Finally, "ads on the home ownership will perhaps encourage the wait," concludes, a significant increase in the amount of the loan to zero rate being in the pipes.
