Quick take
What is most useful for?
currently has 110 active listings and houses dominate. Treat it as a screening layer first, then compare the municipalities with real depth such as the strongest municipality hubs.
Where should you look first?
Start with the municipality hubs that still show real live depth rather than assuming the prefecture median tells the whole story.
What should you verify next?
Verify the municipality hubs, the subsidy guide, and the source coverage page in that order so you can see both market depth and any known source gaps.

How to use the hub
This page works best as a screening layer, not as a final market report. The high-signal read is the mix between sale and rental stock, the balance between homes and land, and whether activity is concentrated in a small set of municipalities such as the main active municipalities in the current index.
If the prefecture average looks attractive but the live inventory is clustered in only a few towns, treat the prefecture as several smaller markets. Open the city hubs before assuming the median price reflects the part of the prefecture you actually want to live in.
| Signal | Why it matters | What to verify next |
|---|---|---|
| Listing count | Tells you whether the hub reflects a real live market or a thin slice | Open the city hubs and check source freshness |
| Sale vs. rent mix | Separates ownership-led markets from places where rental supply is the more realistic entry point | Compare the towns with the strongest live inventory |
| Subsidy signals | Useful for shortlist direction, not for budgeting | Read the actual municipal program page before assuming eligibility |
| Hazard flags | Helpful for triage, especially in rural terrain | Verify the address against municipal maps and road reality |
Where activity concentrates
Current live activity is concentrated in the main active municipalities in the current index. That usually means contractor availability, transport, and everyday services will also differ meaningfully across the prefecture.
Use the prefecture page to decide which city hubs deserve attention first, then switch from average signals to town-level diligence. The cheapest municipality in a prefecture is often cheap for reasons the prefecture median hides.
Questions to answer before you shortlist
A good prefecture hub should help you ask better questions, not just admire low headline prices. The next step is to translate the aggregate view into town-level, road-level, and utility-level checks.
- Is your real target a resort market, a regional city, or a remote mountain village?
- Will you need year-round living quality, occasional use, or income-producing flexibility?
- Does the town have contractor depth, snow management, sewer access, and everyday services that match your plan?
- If subsidies look attractive, do the local residency and timing rules still fit your actual purchase path?
