French Property

Prices for French property are at historical highs after the last few years of increases . However that doesn't justify all 'high' prices, and the asking price of any French property should be evaluated in terms of its market context and in comparison to other similar properties in the area (referred to as 'comparables').

Many properties in French for sale to foreigners are actually overpriced in terms of their market context and comparables. This is especially true of the resale market where individual sellers largely decide the asking price, but can also be true of new developments. Real Estate agents often allow sellers to 'name their price' rather than give them a professional evaluation of the true market price.

There are various reasons why a property in French might be overpriced. Vendors sometimes set an unrealistically high asking price in the hope that a) someone might actually pay it and b) that it will give them a stronger negotiating position at the start and ensure that final transaction price is higher than it would have been had they started with a lower asking price. Another reason is because some sellers have unrealistic expectations as to what their property is actually worth. A further reason is because agents in French and / or developers in French sometimes increase the price if they think that foreign buyers are and will remain 'ignorant' of market values. This is more likely in those cases when the agent 'controls' the entire visit of the buyer thus preventing them from finding out what comparable properties are worth.

To say that a property is overpriced is not the same as saying that it won't sell at that price. The great tragedy is that people do actually buy overpriced properties on a regular basis. This is bad for the overall market as word often gets around, driving up the expectations of sellers and reinforcing the suspicion that foreign buyers will pay any price.

Property For Sale French

Do your research and look around. Try to get a feel for market prices in the area you are interested in. The internet is a useful tool for basic research but it is no substitute for going to visit different properties and talking to impartial people with a good understanding of the French real estate property market. Take notes of the key features (size, location, condition, views, price etc) of different properties and compare then in a table. No two properties are exactly alike, especially in the resale market, and there is no such thing as a mathematically-proven correct price. Nevertheless by doing your research and approaching it in a rational way you should be able to identify if a property is more or less correctly priced given its market context.
