Never before in France have credit rates been this low. This decline has been constant since January 2012. In January 2012 rates were 4 percent compared to the sub 3 percent right now.
The buyer’s power to buy has increased by almost 10 percent over this period of time.
However, housing prices in general in France have not gone down.
What has gone down is the number of loans banks are willing to offer. They are very cautious about giving loans at such low interest rates.
It is estimated by L’Observatoire Crédit Logement CSA that interest rates should start to increase in Winter 2013.
L’Observatoire Crédit Logement CSA suggest it is a great time to buy or to renegotiate your current home mortgage.
