While there are fewer tourists, the students are back in Corte to prepare for the start of the new school year, furnish the apartment, finalize registrations at the University (which has 5,000 young people each year) but for some it is also the beginning the galley, especially those who received a late assignment and are looking for a small studio for the school year.
150 to 200 homes missing
At this time, finding accommodation in the town is an almost impossible mission according to Dominique Martini, manager of the Casanova real estate agency in Corte: “There is always a very high demand. _We had about fifty properties to offer at the start of the season in April-May, there for small accommodation for students we must have 2 or 3 left when we have daily requests_at least a dozen daily requests.

You have to do it well in advance, especially near the science faculty because medical students start in August, they are ready to take up accommodation in June and we have them booked in April. Right now it’s _especially people from the mainland who have late assignments and suddenly we don’t have much to offer them on Corte itself_. We have a few small assets left in the villages, which ends up leaving too, even in villages far enough away like Santa Lucia or even Venaco because there is really a lack of accommodation in Corte and those who generally stay at the end of August, mid-August, these are the accommodations which are rather outside Corte. But even that, it ends up renting without a problem, there must be between 150 and 200 housing units missing, given the people who come to see us every year who are struggling, we have to easily refuse 30 to 35 people for whom we have nothing more to offer. »
Several real estate projects are under construction in the townbut we will still have to be patient, it is not yet for this start of the school year, until then, according to this real estate professional, the trick could be to wait for All Saints Day and the first abandonments.
