The Cholet market is that of a sub-prefecture of the Maine-et-Loire department, capital of the Mauges, away from the large cities. With an average price of around 2 152 €/m² for a flat and 2 220 €/m² for a house, Cholet sits at the level of a mid-sized town, on a market where the house dominates and where flats are concentrated in the centre and its historic districts.
Geography draws the price map. The centre, around Saint-Pierre, La Gare and Le Bretonnais, and the residential areas of the west such as Le Verger hold the highest prices. The large housing districts of the west and the east, La Girardière and Bonnevay, remain the most accessible in the town. Sales volume is solid in the centre, more limited in the outlying areas.
With an average price of around 2 152 €/m², Cholet sits at the level of a mid-sized sub-prefecture, more accessible than the cities of the Loire such as Nantes or Angers. Its role as capital of the Mauges, its textile past and its setting between the historic centre and the Lac de Ribou make it a town sought after by buyers and families.
Cholet is a sub-prefecture of the Maine-et-Loire department and the capital of the Mauges, in the south-west of the department, on the borders of Anjou, the Vendée and the Deux-Sèvres. The town grew around textile work, of which the Cholet handkerchief remains the emblem, and keeps a centre built around the church of Notre-Dame and the Place Travot.
Marked by the Vendée wars at the end of the eighteenth century, Cholet was largely destroyed and then rebuilt. It has kept the fabric of an industrial town, with its former textile and shoe factories, and spread over time into new districts, between residential areas and large housing estates. The Lac de Ribou and the Jardin du Mail, to the south, shape its green spaces.
The geography of prices follows that history: the centre, around Saint-Pierre, La Gare and Le Bretonnais, together with the residential areas of the west such as Le Verger, command a premium, while the large housing districts of the west and the east, La Girardière and Bonnevay, remain the most accessible in the town.
The Cholet market attracts first-time buyers, families, working households from the local employment area and investors. A town of houses, it offers a more modest supply of flats, concentrated in the centre and its historic districts. Demand covers the flats of the centre, the houses of the residential areas and the more affordable property of the large housing districts. Prices, moderate for a sub-prefecture of this size, are sought after for the quality of life, the proximity of nature and the strength of the local economy.
The average price in Cholet is 2 152 €/m² for a flat (actual DVF transactions, notarised sales), within a range of 1 563 to 2 560 €/m² depending on the district. Property portals display asking prices, which run 10 to 20 % above prices actually recorded.
No. Saint-Pierre, in the centre, sits at the upper end of the range, at around 2 885 €/m², while Bonnevay, to the east, remains the most affordable area, at around 1 368 €/m². The districts of the centre and the west make up the core of the market.
Cholet combines a moderate market, at around 2 152 €/m² for a flat and 2 220 €/m² for a house, an active employment area and a setting between the historic centre, the Lac de Ribou and the Jardin du Mail. The town attracts buyers and families looking for space at a contained price, capital of the Mauges at a distance from the large cities.

The town-wide average price is not enough: you need to start from the price in your district, then adjust for the type of property, the floor, its condition, the aspect and how close it is to the centre. The Immover valuation tool draws on the actual sales closest to your address.
