Small event at the Aveyron branch of Fnaim (National Real Estate Federation) which, at the end of the week, received the national president, Loïc Cantin. An opportunity for Aveyron real estate agents to discuss various national issues with him. After all, in this period of turbulence that, if “it’s no stronger than 2008”has significant repercussions on the real estate landscape, “with more than a thousand agencies closed since the beginning of this crisis”.
A tense real estate market that must combine the increase in interest rates with the decline in purchasing power. This makes Christophe Bages, departmental co-president of Fnaim, say with Cindy Mazenc: “We had a difficult start to the 2024 semester with interest rates quadrupling in 2 years. This trend follows a year 2023 that saw an all-time record decline in sales of approximately 21%.”
In the presence of MP Stéphane Mazars, the real estate agents (the Fnaim de l’Aveyron has 22 members) were able to consult the real estate news in the area and also send some messages.
Market trends, transactions, the easing of credit conditions, the increasing difficulty in finding rental accommodation, the influence of the DPE label on sales prices and the latest legal regulations are some of the topics discussed.
All in a slightly more optimistic climate than in recent times: “Encouraging signs are starting to be seen in credit. The offer of properties available for sale is being rebuilt and, in this context, Fnaim real estate agents are mobilizing to guarantee their customers the best level of consultancy in this fluctuating and anxious context. context that the real estate market is experiencing”comments Christophe Bages.
