French real estate update: the return of larger sales volumes, stable prices and dropping interest rates show the French housing market is back in good form according to French notaries.
The notaries are even feeling optimistic after quite a long period of sluggish French real estate sales.
For the first time since 2012 the French notaries see an overall average increase in the prices of existing individual homes. It may be small (1 percent) but it is positive. This is for individual homes, apartments did not experience as much of an increase. (See graphics below)
