The average price per m² for an apartment in each district of Saint-Dizier covered by Immover, ranked from the most expensive to the most affordable.
The Saint-Dizier market is rising. The average apartment price went from 994 €/m² in 2021 to 1 095 in 2026, around 10 % over the period, with a rise of 4,7 % over the last twelve months. All the published districts are stable or rising over five years, from Vert-Bois at 1 % to Centre-ville at 22 %. With 72 apartment sales a year, volume remains modest.
This movement runs against the demographic trend: the municipality lost 0,8 % of its inhabitants a year between 2017 and 2023. Two factors partly explain it. First, the starting point, very low, which leaves room for growth. Second, the redevelopment of the centre and the canal banks, of which Centre-ville is the first beneficiary. For a seller, this means that the condition of the property and its energy performance make the difference, in a housing stock 38,4 % of which dates from 1946 to 1970. For a buyer, it means that with small gaps between the older districts, the cost of works and charges weighs more than the address.
Saint-Dizier compared with the major French cities, on the average price per m² for an apartment.
Saint-Dizier is the largest town in the Haute-Marne department, ahead of the prefecture town, Chaumont. The town is mentioned as early as 854, and it was in the thirteenth century that the fortified town was born from the union of two settlements, La Noue and Gigny, which have kept their names as districts to this day. Its inhabitants are called the Bragards.
The town entered history with the siege laid to it by Emperor Charles V in 1544. But it is industry that shaped it: the Marnaval forges, a project dating back to 1602, made the south-east of the municipality a working-class district, and the Robinson airfield, opened in 1913, became the base aérienne 113, the French air force base, in the early 1950s.
The post-war years changed the scale of the town. Vert-Bois, begun in 1953 in the north-east, delivered its first homes in 1954 and passed a thousand by 1955. Saint-Dizier grew from around 25 000 inhabitants in 1954 to around 40 000 in 1975, and 38,4 % of its housing stock still dates from the 1946-1970 period.
The recent trend runs the other way: the municipality had 22 858 inhabitants in 2023 against 24 012 in 2017, a decline of 0,8 % a year. Vert-Bois has been undergoing urban regeneration since 2004, and the centre has been redeveloped along with the banks of the canal as part of the « Saint-Dizier 2020 » scheme.
Saint-Dizier sells at 1 095 €/m² for an apartment, a level that opens home ownership to modest budgets, in a town where 55,2 % of households rent. The buyer profile is that of first-time buyers, families and investors drawn by rental yield, but also of personnel linked to Air Base 113 (base aérienne 113). Three points to know before buying. The first is the structure of the market: outside Vert-Bois, the four older districts are no more than 11 % apart, from 1 089 to 1 209 €/m². The choice of district therefore matters less than the condition of the property and of the co-ownership. The second is volume: 72 apartment sales a year, which makes district prices orders of magnitude. The third is the housing stock itself: 38,4 % of homes date from 1946 to 1970, and energy performance is the first criterion to check, in buildings most of which were not designed to current standards.
The average price in Saint-Dizier is 1 095 €/m² for an apartment (actual DVF transactions, notarised sales), within a range of 911 to 1 270 €/m² depending on the district. Property portals show asking prices, 10 to 20 % above the prices actually recorded.
Centre-ville, at 1 209 €/m², 10 % above the town-wide average. The gap with the other older districts is small, however: La Noue is at 1 113 €/m², La Tambourine at 1 111 and Gigny at 1 089. Between the most expensive and the most affordable of these four districts, the gap is only 11 %.
Vert-Bois stands at 791 €/m², 28 % below the town-wide average. It is a post-war housing estate begun in 1953, classed as a priority urban neighbourhood, with 6 058 inhabitants, or 26,2 % of the population. Its apartment market is narrow, seven sales a year, and it has been undergoing urban regeneration since 2004.
Because its apartment market does not allow a reliable price to be published. The Marnaval and Clos Mortier area records only 22 apartment sales in five years, none of them in 2021 and only one in 2022. Marnaval is the working-class district of the former forges, in the south-east of the municipality, where houses dominate. The Immover valuation tool does, however, cover every address in the town.
Yes, even as the population declines. The average apartment price went from 994 €/m² in 2021 to 1 095 in 2026, around 10 % over the period, and rose 4,7 % over the last twelve months. Centre-ville has gained 22 % over five years, while the municipality has lost 0,8 % of its inhabitants a year since 2017.
Houses trade at 1 307 €/m², 19 % more than apartments at 1 095 €/m². The two markets carry comparable weight in the town, where 53,8 % of homes are apartments and 45,2 % are houses. The choice comes down to use, floor area and co-ownership charges, which weigh heavily in the real cost of an apartment at this price level.
