The studio carries the highest price per square metre and the T4 the lowest, a gap of 26 %. Small units usually cost more per square metre than large ones, because the price of a kitchen and a bathroom is spread over fewer metres.

Selling in Sens
Pricing in Sens starts by placing your property inside the €1,324 to €1,922 band rather than on the median alone. The median describes the middle of the market; condition, floor, outdoor space and energy rating decide where in the band you sit.
With 373 sales a year, Sens absorbs correctly priced properties. An over-ambitious price shows quickly, because buyers have points of comparison.
Briveo values your Sens property from the same DVF file, keeping only sales of comparable properties closest to your address, free of charge and with no obligation, then supports the sale through to the deed.
Buying in Sens
Reading the €1,324 to €1,922 band is a buyer’s main tool in Sens. A property at the bottom is not a bargain and one at the top is not a rip-off, the band measures how different the properties are, not how well they are priced.
Acquisition costs are budgeted on top of the price, around 8 % on an existing property, around 3 % on a new one. These are orders of magnitude; the notary computes the exact amount.
Prices moving down give a buyer room to discuss, provided the argument rests on comparable sales rather than on the trend itself.

Over the last twelve published months the median apartment price moved by -5.5 %. A drop of that size deserves the same caution as a rise, since it may come from the mix of properties sold rather than from a fall in value.
No five-year reading is available for Sens. The apartment sales we currently use (2023 à 2025) do not go back far enough to compute one, so the long-term direction cannot be stated here.
Among the towns tracked by BRIVEO in the same department, on the median apartment price, Saint-Florentin sits 71 % below. Those are the gaps a buyer widening their search area actually meets.
