1 minute more

Statec has for the first time calculated the impact of travel time on prices \u2014 and publishes the figures for the 2nde<\/sup> quarter 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

The Statec and the Habitat Observatory published their quarterly report \u00abHousing in Figures\u00bb on Thursday, September 24th. A market that is moving forward in a disorganized manner \u2014 and a parallel study that changes the way a property is evaluated in Luxembourg.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Discovery of the week: \u22121.2 % per minute of travel time<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n

This is the most concrete information published yesterday. In a parallel study, the Statec quantified the relationship between travel time to the capital<\/strong> and the price of apartments. The model, estimated on 4,015 transactions<\/strong> In 2025, this results in a clear scale of magnitude.<\/p>\n\n

\n

The case of Kockelscheuer<\/strong> is speaking: only 10 km from the center, but 27 minutes' drive<\/strong> due to congestion. Mersch, one and a half times further away, only takes 3 minutes longer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Since June 2026<\/strong>, Statec has incorporated this criterion into its methodology: travel time now replaces distance in the price index calculation model. No historical index is revised.<\/p>\n\n

A blind spot remains: the study only measures access to Luxembourg City<\/strong>, Without taking into account secondary employment poles such as Esch-sur-Alzette or Nordstad.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A rebound to be relativized<\/h3>\n\n

Over a year, the number of sales decreases by 33,9 %<\/strong>. But beware of the trap: in the spring of 2025, the announced expiration of the tax measures had triggered a rush, with 1,928 sales<\/strong> focused on a single quarter. Comparing this exceptional peak artificially amplifies the impression of a relapse.<\/p>\n\n

The authors rather talk about a \u00ab progressive normalization of activity \u00bb<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n

The former has regained its pre-crisis level<\/h3>\n\n

This is the healthiest segment of the market: 1,049 existing apartments<\/strong> sold, which is slightly above the 2017-2021 average (about 1,035 sales). Prices are rising +1,3 %<\/strong> for the quarter, but remain \u22120,6 %<\/strong> below their 2025 spring level.<\/p>\n\n

The nine remain the big injury<\/h3>\n\n
\n

Only 225 apartments under construction<\/strong> sold at T2, for approximately \u20ac171 million. Despite a rebound of +8.2% % in the quarter, the segment remains down by nearly 68 %<\/strong> at the pre-crisis average (\u2248 694 sales).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Important methodological nuance: some new homes already completed<\/strong> They are sold by conventional contract and therefore appear in the statistics of the former. The VEFA do not measure all the new business.<\/p>\n\n

Homes are starting up again, but prices are still falling<\/h3>\n\n

709 houses sold<\/strong> (+8.2 % % for the quarter), but the segment remains approximately 1% behind 22 %<\/strong> compared to the average for 2017-2021. And the prices of existing homes are still falling: \u22120.5 % for the quarter and \u22123.7 % for the year<\/strong>. The resumption of transactions does not translate into a rise in prices.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

For tenants, no respite. The advertised rents for apartments are rising more than twice as fast as inflation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

The explanation advanced by the authors is enlightening: a possible shift towards renting households whose borrowing capacity has been reduced by the rise in interest rates<\/strong>, in the face of a still limited supply of rental properties.<\/p>\n\n

Note: The rents under the lease<\/strong> They only progress by +1.3 % over a year<\/strong> According to the Statec index, the difference is entirely due to new contracts.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

What that changes for you<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\ud83c\udfe0 You are a buyer<\/div>\n

Two good news: house prices continue to fall (\u22123.7 % over the year<\/strong>) and you now have an objective criterion to arbitrate \u2014 the actual travel time<\/strong>, Not the distance. Test your journey during peak hours before you decide. And don\u2019t forget the B\u00ebllegen Akt, which is worth \u20ac45,000.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\ud83d\udcb0 You are a salesperson<\/div>\n

The former has recovered its pre-crisis level in volume: The buyers are here<\/strong>. But prices remain under pressure, especially on homes. A realistic positioning from the outset remains the best strategy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\ud83d\udd11 You are the landlord<\/div>\n

Announced rents are rising by +5,8 %<\/strong>, With inflation more than double that of the year before, demand is strengthening due to households being excluded from credit. The rental market has never been so lucrative.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
