A stable real estate market with investment opportunities

While Méribel has 2,000 inhabitants in the summer, the number of residents can rise to 20,000 during the winter! The presence of a wealthy clientele has led Méribel to develop a high-end real estate market. Since 2014, the Méribel real estate market has significantly risen in quality, reaching record prices in 2019. Due to limited supply, some truly exceptional properties have sold for up to 28,000 euros per square meter, a staggering price (+30% in one year for apartments in new developments). A non-renovated chalet should sell for between 14,000 euros and 17,000 euros per square meter, while a high-end construction—meeting the majority of our clientele's demand—ranges between 17,000 euros and 25,000 euros per square meter. The Méribel real estate market has been stable and strong for many years and remains a highly sought-after high-mountain haven for investors due to its natural appeal and high profitability potential.
