Real estate 2025-2026: what is the market situation in La Fare-les-Oliviers?

After two rather slow years, activity is slowly picking up again in the real estate sector. Buyers are returning with well-thought-out plans, banks are lending more readily than they were two years ago, and viewings are returning to a regular pace. Nothing euphoric yet, but a more serene atmosphere than in 2023-2024.

What's really changing is most noticeable at the local level. In La Fare-les-Oliviers, the market is progressing smoothly: prices are holding steady, suitable properties are finding buyers, and demand for houses remains strong.

La Fare-les-Oliviers: a market driven by quality of life
Proximity to Aix-en-Provence, a simple daily life, shops, schools, rolling hills, a village atmosphere… There are plenty of reasons to settle here. This is one of the reasons why properties with gardens maintain a significant advantage over the rest of the market. A bright, well-located house with outdoor space remains an attractive property in 2026.

Prices observed at the end of 2025 / beginning of 2026
Apartments: around €3,760/m²

Houses: around €3,800/m²

Overall average: approximately €3,795/m²

Of course, there are variations depending on the condition, land, view, renovation, and location, but these figures serve as a guide to establishing a realistic asking price. Overpriced properties tend to stay on the market longer.

The most sought-after property type
The core demand is for family homes with a garden, three or four bedrooms, and a pleasant outdoor space. The need for long-term comfort, the possibility of working remotely, and the desire for a peaceful environment are clearly working in La Fare-les-Oliviers' favor.

In 2026, properties that are well-presented, clean, tidy, priced appropriately, and have high-quality photos will, I believe, sell well, as demonstrated by my two recent sales in the town during the final weeks of 2025.
