Quiet, but if you have an interesting property then it sells fast.
Another one gone, but did take a month and three days it was bought on the 10th of March to sell but that did include the time we have been working on it, we spent about ten days there.
The garden got half cleared by ATS and the barn reduced in height and a couple of roof repairs, total costs under 200 and that includes the price of a new petrol strimmer. 100% profit so cannot complain just six properties to go now this year.
How is the property market still strong for the right property if its cheap but the usual proper French property sales sites are very quiet but on FB we got over 500 views in one day which is fantastic and free.
The proper established French sales sites charge from 230 for three months ads. We got a couple of people contact us for details through these sites but no viewers.

I got a distinct impression that here the market was moving based on the number of vendu and sous compromis signs in the agents' windows.
It certainly seems to be several steps upfrom last year when the market seemed to be dead.

According to the stats sales are falling as are some prices, they are talking about making it easier for people to get loans in France. |

I bought this time last year, correction I completed then, the purchase was November and I had been viewing from September 2021. Back then anything half decen was beiung snapped up in hours and there was even gazumping going on, people had been working from home for a long time and it looked then (to them) that it was going to carry on forever and they were snapping up anything away from the cities but with good transport links and internet connection.
Editted, not anything but anything decent or in the absence of that even something half decent, the agents were desperate for good clean well maintained and presented properties because they knew they would sell in a day, as a consequence they were not interested in wasting their time on the average mediocre dwelling and when it came to my wreck I had to doorstep the agent to get a viewing, they did not respond to calls & emails & were completely disinterested
I get the impression that it has slowed down since then, a property 3 doors away went up for €270k and took 3 months to finally sell for €170K. If you want to stitch someone up with a property that is under a flight path then sell it during a global pandemic! Dont bother asking how i know. As it happens oits a bonus to me, I have lived all my life beside major airports and know the positive economic benefits that they bring, the occasional planes going over are a hell of a lot quieter than they would have been 40 years ago. |

I was with an agent today who said there is still a shortage of properties, those that have been sensibly priced are selling very quickly so agents are left with 'stickers' who've been on their books for months, the difficulty in getting credit is also having an effect on the market as Mysty said.
