Reservations for new homes with property developers fell in the first quarter below the 20,000 mark, a historically low level, according to provisional statistics from the Ministry of Ecological Transition.
With 19,487 housing units reserved, 41% less than a year earlier, marketing marks a fourth consecutive quarter of decline, and even settles below its level in the second quarter of 2020, in full containment.
Developers are suffering from a very unfavorable economic context, caught between rising construction costs and difficulties in accessing credit for buyers.
Listings, which represent the new offer of promoters, are also beginning to drop, with a drop of 9% in one quarter and 15% over one year.
As a result, the stock of new homes available for sale exceeds 123,000, rising steadily since the start of 2022.
The fall in reservations is as marked for apartments, the core business of developers, as for houses.
It concerns all types of territories, but is particularly vertiginous (-48%) in zone B1, corresponding to large agglomerations such as Bordeaux, Strasbourg, Rennes or Nantes, and on the outskirts of very tight cities such as Lyon and Lille.
