What are the local market trends in Piégut-Pluviers? Are there many properties on the market? Is the local area increasingly popular? 

This area has definitely become more and more popular. I’ve been here since 2016 and I've seen a real increase in this region; its popularity skyrocketed throughout covid and this hasn’t changed. The reasons behind this are most likely due to affordability, air quality, and accessibility (Limoges airport is not far and we have excellent autoroutes connections).
