Moving in, the values more important than the living environment?

Moving to a city is an important step in a person’s life. The choice of the city, the neighborhood depends on several factors, such as the proximity to one’s place of work; or for more personal reasons. In recent months, however, new criteria have come into play in the choice to settle… or on the contrary to leave. Values in which these people no longer recognize themselves, if the policy conducted is too different. What are the policies that are problematic for households? How do real estate agencies attract new buyers?

Moving in or moving in the face of differences in value

Consider moving to a city that does not correspond to its values and expectations? This seems unthinkable for many French people who want to find a place to live in which to feel good. However, the policy of cities is evolving, and does not benefit the households that live there… In particular, the 58% of French households who own their property.

Also, nearly 2/3 of them are ready to leave their place of residence if the values and policy conducted by the city are no longer in line with theirs, especially because of an increase in property tax.

The property tax is calculated according to the city of residence, and varies according to different criteria. Indeed, it is calculated from the “cadastral rental value of the property”, i.e. the amount that could be collected by the owner if he decided to rent his property… Value to which is then applied a tax rate voted by the local authorities, mainly the municipalities, the departmental share having been abolished.

The tax rate voted by the municipalities depends in particular on the number of owners. The fewer owners in the city, the higher the rate. This has already happened, with an average increase of 28% over the last ten years.

Determining factors to feel good in your municipality

A move is planned in a city in which a person feels good. The policy carried out by the elected representatives plays a lot, pillar of many decisions for the inhabitants. The question of security is the most important moving in criterion for a person who wishes to live in a municipality. What decisions have been taken by the municipality to protect the inhabitants? This is an issue that is all the more important in view of the news of recent years. 54% of French people attach paramount importance to it in their choice of move..

The environment is also a factor that accounts for 33% of households. The ecological and energy approach is part of the commitments of many cities, and the French are sensitive to it. Promoting green spaces, making cleaner choices for the city makes the difference. In addition, it also helps to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants, which encourages moving in. Just as much as the cleanliness of the streets, to make the city more welcoming.

In addition to moving in, the change of values in the politics of a city sometimes also marks the departure, the move of a person or a family. The quest for well-being and security is paramount, beyond the political color of the municipality. But it also remains a reflection of the policy pursued in the city.
