Figures have recently been released by the FNAIM, (French Estate Agency body), and it makes interesting reading as there are quite noticeable variations throughout France.
I have chosen to focus on the 2 areas that our business deals with, namely the Poitou Charentes and also the Dordogne Valley.
Over the year to 31/3/2011 prices fell in the Poitou Charentes by around 1.3%, but the fact that the market is falling there is highlighted by the Q1 figure for 2011 which comes in at minus 2.6%.
Further south, in the Dordogne valley the picture is much more positive - with the year to 31/3/2011 showing +2.2% in the Limousin, +3.9% in the Midi Pyrennees, with the Aquitaine returning a negative 0.8%. (However the Aquitaine is showing +3.1% for Q1 for 2011).
The recent fall in the £ against the Euro means that some ex-Pat vendors looking to return to the UK are flexible on price, so the indications are that the market has bottomed and this should be a great time to be buying French Property.
