esreafrance

The notaries of France records show that the price increase for Paris on average is estimated for February 2017 to have increased 6 percent year over year.

An average price of 8 500 euros per square meter beating the record of 2012.

Is the sky the limit?

It is worth noting that in 2005 the average price of property in Paris was 4 500 euros per square meter!

Pricing of course varies depending on the part of Paris, the most expensive right now is the 7th Arrondissement at 11 400 euros per meter square and the ‘least’ expensive is the 19th Arrondissement at 6 900 euros per meter square.

What is a Manoir or Chateau in a French real estate advertisement?

esreafrance

In a French real estate advertisement a ‘Manoir’ refers to a home that was or is the dwelling place of a person of noble ascendancy. It may be a large home that has some defensive elements built in.

In the different levels of real estate types in France it lies below the position of a castle.

I do find it interesting that I have seen ‘Manoir’ in France that are called a ‘Chateau’ like the one in the photograph I took above (Château de Flaugergues in Montpellier). When I looked at the design I thought this is not a castle but a manor house or ‘manoir’ in French.

In fact, the term Chateau in French does not mean automatically castle, a chateau can be a medieval fortress or a large country home, according to my experience in France many French châteaux are in fact large country homes and not castles.

Maybe I need to do more on location research.

The Notaries of France have announced that there were 840 000 French real estate transactions in 2016 compared to 2015. That is an 11 percent increase in the number of sales.

Time to head to the market!

The increasing activity in the French property market has placed pressure on prices and in the following French towns there has been an increase in prices overall:

Lyon

Bordeaux

Lille

Nantes

Marseille

Reims

This is positive news after 4 years of dropping prices.

Interestingly, prices appear to be down in Nice, Montpellier, Angers and Saint Etienne at this time. Perhaps, this is a good moment to visit and invest in the areas where the price is going down especially since Nice on the French Riviera is an ever popular destination in France.
