The real estate market is constantly evolving, and 2025 is no exception, especially in Ruoms and its surroundings (Vallon-Pont-d’Arc, Gorges de l’Ardèche, Labeaume…). Between a potential drop in interest rates, new energy regulations, and specific obligations for property owners, it is essential to understand these changes if you plan to sell your property this year.
📉 A drop in interest rates in 2025?
After several years of rising rates, interest rates could finally start to decline. This is great news for buyers… and for sellers too!
- More accessible mortgages mean more qualified buyers.
- Increased demand can help boost sales and stabilize prices.
- Well-located and well-maintained properties may sell faster.
If you were hesitant about putting your house or apartment on the market, 2025 could be the perfect time to take advantage of this momentum!
🔍 New DPE rules: mandatory energy audit for E-rated homes
The Energy Performance Diagnosis (DPE) is becoming even more stringent in 2025. From now on, homes classified as E must undergo a mandatory energy audit before being sold.
- This audit outlines the work needed to improve energy efficiency.
- It can impact the perceived value of the property: energy-inefficient homes will be less attractive.
- Buyers will be paying closer attention to these criteria, especially with rising energy costs.
If you own a house or apartment rated E in Ruoms or Vallon-Pont-d’Arc, it’s best to prepare in advance to avoid surprises during the sale.
🌿 Mandatory brush clearing: a key issue in Ardèche
Regulations now require mandatory brush clearing around properties located in fire-risk zones—an essential measure in Ardèche, where summers are becoming increasingly dry.
- Property owners must maintain a 50-meter perimeter around their home.
- Failure to comply can result in financial penalties.
- This requirement applies before selling: an overgrown property may deter buyers.
- Owners must inform future buyers or tenants about this obligation.
If you are selling a house with a garden or land near Ruoms, ensure compliance to avoid any issues during the transaction.
🏡 Holiday rentals: new rules for short-term rentals
Ruoms and its surroundings are popular for short-term rentals, but the regulations are becoming stricter:
- Mandatory DPE for all furnished tourist rentals.
- Less attractive tax benefits: reduced tax deductions and restrictions on the LMNP status.
- Some owners may see their profitability decrease.
If you own a short-term rental property in Vallon-Pont-d’Arc or near the Gorges de l’Ardèche and are considering selling, 2025 could be a pivotal year.
💰 Extension of the PTZ: a boost for buyers… and for solders!
The Zero-Interest Loan (PTZ) has been extended and expanded in 2025, particularly for older properties in certain zones. What does this mean?
- More buyers will be able to take advantage of this aid, especially first-time buyers.
- This could help sell eligible properties more quickly, particularly those requiring renovations.
- A great selling point to highlight in your real estate listing.
If your property is located in Ruoms or an eligible area, this can be an additional selling advantage!
