With the calm found on the rental market seen since the fall of 2008, rents have almost stagnated in 2009 (+0.1%). In early 2010, the market confirms its fragility and rising rents will be low (0.6%, to 12 euros per m2 on average). This is one of the main findings of the annual review of the observatory Clamor, published yesterday.
Overall, this small increase in rents for almost all types of accommodations, but not all regions: pace of progress is indeed stronger in Rhone-Alpes (+1.1%), in PACA (+1.2%), Ile-de-France (+1.5%, 17.4 euros per m2 ), Languedoc-Roussillon (2%), Britain (+2.3%) and especially in Auvergne (4.1%, to 9.2 euros per m2).
The observatory also slowing down increases rents if the stand: + 2.8% since the start of 2010, against 6% in 2009 and 5.6% on average since 1998. Since the beginning of the year, 35.4% of the relocations have benefited from the work of upgrading housing, against 23.2% in 2008 and 27.6% on average since 1998.
