Doussard / Faverges, easy living and attractive prices.

Updated: Dec 3, 2022

Halfway between the cities of Annecy and Albertville, the Doussard and Faverges sector is attracting more and more buyers for its dynamism and its living environment.


Living in Doussard or Faverges means embracing a way of life that is both rural and urban. This territory in the heart of the Bauges massif offers a unique proximity to alpine nature, between Lake Annecy, the Sambuy resort, the Tamié valley... While being close to the dynamic economic basins of Albertville and 'Annecy. Without forgetting either that Faverges is also the cradle of industrial flagships such as Staübli and S.T. Dupont.



"It's good to live here"

In terms of services and amenities, the area lacks nothing: cinema, schools, swimming pool, shops… “There is everything on site, enthuses Gaëlle Thibert, real estate advisor at Foncia in this sector. Here, life is good, and this has not escaped buyers in recent years. Like all of the Pays de Savoie, this territory has experienced strong demand in recent years. "In particular with the health crisis, because it perfectly meets new expectations, combining nature and economic dynamism", she analyzes.


A great alternative

Demand is boosted by the attractiveness of real estate prices. While they have flamed in Annecy and on the shores of its lake, Doussard, and by extension Faverges, are more than ever displayed as excellent alternatives with prices 15 to 30% cheaper. However, the value of real estate continues to climb in the sector, at a steady pace: apartments and houses have seen their prices increase by 8 to 15% per year for the past three years. "Although the sector is in the throes of a strong upward trend, it is nonetheless attractive for households whose budget no longer allows them to access the Annecy market in particular, confirms Gaëlle Thibert, for whom demand mainly comes from couples, with children, aged 35 to 45. The many strengths of Doussard and Faverges today outweigh the sector's somewhat eccentric image. These municipalities have become credible transfer markets. For an old house, it takes an average of €480,000 in Doussard and €350,000 in Faverges.



Buyers now even agree to settle in the surrounding hamlets. Gaëlle Thibert, for example, is surprised by the commercial success of a new housing estate in Seythenex: “Located on the heights of Faverges, the twenty timber frame houses on offer sold very quickly. These 95 m² pavilions on 500 m² of land found takers for an average of €330,000. » That said, the biggest budgets will prefer the heights of Doussard, offering a view of Lake Annecy. In Lathuile, for example, a 120 m² pavilion in good condition is difficult to negotiate below 700,000 €.


A great offer of apartments

The supply of collective housing has grown more and more in recent years. “Even if the buyers come here rather with the desire for a house, the smallest budgets agree to refer to an apartment, as long as it has a beautiful exterior, observes Gaëlle Thibert. There is now a good offer of apartments located in small buildings, very pleasant to live in. » According to the specialist in this market, it is thus necessary to count on average for an apartment from 3,000 € per m² in the old to 4,300 € per m² in the new.
