Rising French Property Values – Building off 2010

French property values increased sharply in 2010 and have continued the upward trend through the beginning of 2011. The Ile-de-France region has seen the most significant increases, though the rest of France has too seen property values increasing. The rising values in 2010 were more consistent across old homes than across old apartments, though both property types increased in value.

The French real estate market is returning in strength to the volumes of the 2000 – 2007 period, with nearly 800,000 transactions in 2010.

The first half of 2011 is anticipated to be busier than the second half of the year due to rising interest rates, next year’s presidential elections, and proposed inheritance tax reforms.

French properties in the historical districts of major cities in France are expected to increase in value by 10% or more in 2011.

The real estate market overall, while expected to continue to rise in value, will not be as explosive as in 2010, with more moderate price increases already observed in the first quarter of 2011.
