The average price of apartments in Domène stands at 2 817 €/m², according to the DVF transactions actually registered with notaries. A municipality of the Isère set in the Grésivaudan valley, on the right bank of the Isère and at the foot of the Belledonne range, Domène lies about ten kilometres east of Grenoble. From an industrial past marked by paper mills, the municipality has become residential, while keeping a small-town fabric and suburban housing areas. Demand comes largely from the Grenoble urban area, from working households looking for a greener setting at the foot of the massif while staying close to Grenoble and its employment hubs. The value of a property depends on its location, its aspect facing Belledonne, its condition, its energy performance and the presence of outdoor space.

The Domène market is driven by the closeness of Grenoble and by the land pressure of the urban area, which push working households towards the eastern ring of the metropolitan area. The setting of the Grésivaudan valley, open onto Belledonne, keeps families interested. Well-located, well-oriented properties are negotiated faster than homes far from the access routes or with poor energy performance.
The appeal rests on the balance between a valley setting, local services and quick access to Grenoble. The limits lie in the topography that constrains some areas, in the sensitivity of the market to credit conditions and in the difference in value between renovated properties and older homes inherited from the industrial past of the municipality.
