The Lavaur real estate market
As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, many customers have changed their lifestyle by adopting telecommuting. This has created the opportunity to relocate to all regions of France. It has been accompanied by the desire to acquire a property that can accommodate the creation of one or more offices. What's more, thanks to its location close to airports and the Toulouse TGV station, it's easy to get around France or Europe if need be.
In the rural Lavaur region, the real estate market offers magnificent properties at an average price of 700,000 euros. Entry-level properties are available in the 300,000 to 400,000 euro range, while more luxurious homes can fetch up to 2 million euros.
The most sought-after properties in the Midi-Pyrénées region are those offering outdoor space, such as a garden level for an apartment, or a house with a terrace and large garden. Customers are attracted by hilltop locations with views of the Pyrenees, as well as villages with amenities. Proximity to the airport is an important criterion, and customers pay particular attention to energy performance diagnostics.
In the Lavaur area, the clientele is mainly made up of locals and French expatriates looking to acquire a property for their family or as their main residence. The clientele is also international, including citizens from Belgium, the United States, South Africa and New Zealand.
Lavaur: region and heritage
Capital of the Pays de Cocagne region, Lavaur is an ancient Tarn town with a rich historical heritage. A former castrum in the 11th century, it still bears the perfectly preserved remains of its past, such as the Gothic Cathedral of Saint-Alain, founded in 1098, and the Tour des Rondes.
Just half an hour from Toulouse, Lavaur combines the savoir-vivre and tranquility of a big city without the drawbacks. Away from traffic jams and hustle and bustle, residents can enjoy magnificent views over the hills, with their fields of rapeseed, wheat and sunflowers in bloom, and the surrounding Pyrenees. Gourmets will appreciate a visit to the large Saturday morning market, and Lavaur's many excellent addresses for tasty cuisine.
The renowned Sotheby's International Realty network brings added value to the Lavaur agency through its experience with prestigious clients and the quality of its services. Their role is to simplify various organizational aspects of each real estate project, such as finding notaries or architects, as well as arranging movers and other necessary services.
