THE SEASONAL RENTAL MARKET IN SAINT-GERVAIS
Saint-Gervais, the family and affordable resort
Between Mont Blanc and the thermal baths, Saint-Gervais competes to attract visitors. Good news for investors: if the demand for seasonal rentals is present, the price per m2 in Saint-Gervais is much more reasonable than in neighbouring resorts.
Small family resort very popular with spa guests and high mountain enthusiasts, Saint-Gervais is not lacking in charm, with its large family chalets lining the main arteries and its small shops that embody the Haute-Savoie art of living. No downtime in Saint-Gervais: the resort attracts people in both summer and winter to the delight of seasonal lease investors.
Unlike its neighbouring locations, Megève and Chamonix, investing in Saint-Gervais are still very reasonable with an average price per m2 in size of the order of:
€ 3,976 for an apartment (prices ranging between € 2,340 and € 5,878/m2 depending on the nature of the property)
and € 5,919 for a chalet (with a variation ranging from € 3,484 to € 8,751/m2).
For many, owning real estate in Saint-Gervais, therefore, remains within the realm of possibility, even if the price difference between this resort and the other flagship destinations of the Tarentaise is attracting more and more buyers, which is necessarily driving up the prices.
