For parking the analysis is more complex

Two children from a first marriage for each of the parents who have convolé for the second time and a small final or rather a small first for remarried new! In total, a "large" family of seven. The stepfamily often takes the appearance with, sometimes, a more "soft" version of three children. Remains to find housing to shelter everyone, not necessarily a weekend on two, or during the holidays, but sometimes a week on two alternating custody requires. The market of the family apartments, is elsewhere also that large not... blended tribes. And who are, for the municipalities, voters stable insofar as their mobility is difficult.

In some new buildings, a few municipalities, including that of Puteaux, forcing developers to build more than 50 of the building into three, four and five parts. A way of keeping the inhabitants and their electorate.

The nine remains however very marginal in these sizes to the Park old or recent. In Paris as in many regional cities, the recent housing stock is composed of small surfaces which themselves are always sold or rented that large. Even some generous areas, appeared under the baron Haussmann, were divided into two. Result: the offer of apartments between 110 and 200 square metres, is shrinking and, logically, the prices remain firm.

A narrow and selective market

With regard to the housing stock of the capital and major cities, professionals know that large areas are in the minority, often occupying less than 16 of the Park. Must distinguish classical family apartments hardly exceeding 200 square metres and luxury apartments which can go beyond but do not to the same customers. The market segment is very narrow so it obeys very specific criteria. "It must now be a separation between the parts of day and night parts, said Emmanuel Ducasse, Director of the Parisian expertise in Credit Foncier. Rooms must not be controlled from each other, but the water rooms and bathrooms must be multiplied. What is found in the apartments new or recent but not the former, which is often found in a diagram of parts of reception with entrance Gallery and a large corridor serving small rooms. ""The purchasers more lost want." Often they reason by number of rooms as in England. "Regardless of this exhibit does not house used, but is it occupies a place full of Office,", says Jean-Philippe Roux, agency Knight Frank.

Indoor Comfort must add external comfort such as provided by the elevator or parking lots. The presence of an elevator is needed for a large family. Although the large and medium surfaces ensure the delivery of foodstuffs, person not rushes up luggage, stroller... The high floor apartment which does not offer this service is not licensee. For parking, the analysis is more complex. There is for fans of du en dessous les TGV et ceux qui abandonnent la voiture below the les TGV and those who abandon the car However emerges a new solution: the scooter for parents or children. It does not require a parking space, but a shelter near to escape vandalism...

Furthermore, a close location of good schools is more than ever for families with many children an essential criterion. Finally, find a property in good condition is also more and more part of the requirements. "Previously, it purchased property with work at the key." Currently, even if the VAT on work is 5.5, is no longer talk of a "coup" for sale in some time. "The families buy to live and not to speculate", explains Jean-Philippe Roux.

Still high prices

"In Paris, to apartments in good condition 130 to 180 square metres, it must be, at least 700,000 euros, said Gilbert Chouchana, President of Laforêt Immobilier for Paris and the first Crown." There, demand is strong and is not in competition with the Town House that shows significantly higher prices because of its rarity. "But next to the 16th, 17th and 9th districts where Park structurally displays some beautiful buildings around the Trocadero or the Monceau plain, some sites, caught by many families, rise in range. Thus, in the 14th, street Lecuirot, a 135 square metres to the second floor with 4 rooms, work and no parking, just to sell 780,000 euros. A price equivalent to that of the 16th South (Auteuil, Mirabeau), but lower than 16th North where this 166 metres square on the sixth floor of a building of stone, although distributed and airy view left to EUR 1.25 million. A "good" 16th, which could be removed to more than 8,000 euros per square metre if it had more situated near lycée Janson de Sailly.

Without extrapolating from specific examples, each sector having its rating according to patterns, population displacements and the reputation of the schools, professionals recognize that the price of large surfaces assagit. "The overall price is historically high and faces a ceiling effect which families can no longer go and prices for large surfaces tend to no longer rise today," summarizes Emmanuel Ducasse.
