The price of vacant land in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur soared by 26.1% to €12,020/ha in 2022.
The Hautes-Alpes (€12,200/ha, up 35%) and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence (€7,570/ha, up 15%) departments are driving the market upwards, while the Var has seen a 9% fall to €12,550/ha.
The price of rented land is not significant given the low number of sales.
The volume of transactions and the surface area sold are down sharply (-15.2% and -37.5% respectively).
Data source : The data used in this article comes from statistics published by the SAFER relating to plots larger than 70 ares (7,000 m² or 0.70 hectare) and which have been statistically processed by Agreste (the statistical department of the Ministry of Agriculture) and then published in the Journal Officiel in the Barème indicatif de la valeur vénale moyenne des terres agricoles en 2022.
As mentioned, these market prices are purely indicative and in no way oblige you to buy or sell at the rates indicated. If you look at the details of the minimum and maximum values shown, you will see that prices generally vary widely. However, they should be taken into account to avoid any pre-emption with a price revision by the SAFER.
Reading these statistics at the level of each département in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region provides a more accurate picture. Prices are grouped by small agricultural region, with an average price and minimum and maximum prices.
The agricultural regions at the level of each département correspond to areas with common characteristics, making it possible to produce consistent statistics based on homogeneous data.
The statistics on the sale price of vacant farmland in the départements of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region concern sales of land that is not rented on the day of the sale. The purchaser of the parcels of land may then, subject to obtaining authorisation to farm under the Control of Structures, either farm the land himself as part of an installation on a farm or lease it to a farmer.
The statistics on the sale price of rented agricultural land in the départements of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region concern sales of rented land. The buyer may either be the farmer himself, or a landowner who will continue to rent the land to the farmer.
In some départements, the number of transactions involving this type of land is insufficient to provide reliable statistics.
The price of rented farmland is generally lower than the price of freehold land, with discounts varying greatly from one département and region to another, and can be as high as 30%.
See our article on the price of rented farmland in France since 2012 for information on discounts and the profitability of investing in rented farmland.
