Better served than 8 % of the 12,612 communes of a similar size.

79 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 175,000 € — 1,058 € per m² of built surface. ^[13]

The median across Calvados is 2,026 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[13]

These are recorded sale prices, not valuations or asking prices, and a median over five years spans five different markets. Built surface excludes land, which carries much of a rural property's value.
