SeLoger agency breakdown: sought-after properties in France in 2023?

Yes, they did it! SeLoger's data science team analyzed the most popular search criteria for French people looking for their cozy nest. It's worth knowing that SeLoger has 6.3 million unique monthly users* and almost 850,000 real estate listings**. That gives us (and you) an idea of what they expect from a real estate purchase. Especially at a time when the market is in turmoil due to, among other things, rising interest rates and a shortage of new homes. Allow yourself to be amazed by this exclusive study!

Which cities are the most sought after?

The French are still not ready to move completely out of the city. They are tilting their search towards dynamic cities. The French are committed to the dream of home. The home disposes''64% of requests. The French want space, 80 m2 to be precise. To achieve this goal, they plan a budget of 319,999 €2. When buying an apartment, the criteria are: 56 m2 and a budget of 279,999 €2. In general, real estate searches in 2023 are focused on three-room apartments (28%), followed by studios (12%) and five-room apartments (17%).

What does it mean?

What it means is that the French want a daily dose of oxygen and a chance to swim. The filters "garden" (16.3%), "terrace" (14.8%) and "swimming pool" (9%) are the most popular. It is also interesting that the criterion "no neighbors" accounts for 4% of all searches.

The top spot goes to - drum roll - Paris!

Of course, the capital has the largest concentration of housing and residents (2.1 million po''of interest is the research carried out by SeLoger.

This leading French real estate website*** uses all its competencies to serve all French people who want to carry out their real estate project. Caroline Evans de Gantes, CEO of Aviv France (Groupe SeLoger, MeilleursAgents), summarizes the essence of this study: 'This is a first for SeLoger! Uncovering the preferred real estate buying criteria of the French seems particularly important to us this year, as 2023 will remain the year of the transition from seller to buyer. Our goal is to leverage SeLoger's expertise as much as possible to understand the challenges of the real estate market.".

Well, that's a decent start to 2024! *Médiamétrie NetRatings, February 2023. **Number of listings for sale''real estate on SeLoger as of November 29, 2023 (831,712 listings). ***Survey conducted by Yougov in France among 3,004 people aged 18 years and older from 12/12/2022 to 12/19/2022. Data on property searches on the SeLoger website from January 1, 2023 to October 31, 2023. Criteria were indicated by searches on the SeLoger website for real estate purchases (house or apartment) by people who accepted cookies on the website. One search corresponds to one user's session. A new session is opened every day for the same user or after downtime of 30 minutes. Thus, each criterion specified by a user during a session is considered only once. Regarding rankings by geography: For cities, counts are done by zip code. If''one postal code corresponds to more than one locality, the count is linked to the most populated locality (INSEE 2019). The proportion of queries is calculated by dividing the number of queries in a locality by the total number of queries that contain at least one locality. The share of queries is calculated by dividing the number of queries in a locality or region by the total number of queries that contain at least one locality or French metropolitan department. If a user searches both city A and city B during a search session, the query is counted once for city A and once for city B. If both cities are in the same department, only one' is counted for the department
