French Real Estate Set To Rebound In 2010
Online, April 9, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Lyon-France - 04/15/10 - When it comes to "Quality of Life", France has been recognized as the "best place to live" for several years running. According to industry professionals, now is the time to look to France when considering property investment for 2010.
There are several key indicators that lead to France as the marketplace for international real estate investment. France was the first European country to announce in the 2nd Quarter of 2009 that it had emerged from the recession. The stabilization of its economy led to an almost 350% rise in commercial investment in the 4th Quarter of 2009.
According to Joe Broadhurst, head of Marketing for E-PropertyWorld in France, there is no time like right now to invest in France.
"In the past 2 years, we saw a slight dip in cross-border investments in France. From a high of over 60% in 2008, to slightly below 50% in 2009. But that changed drastically in the 4th Quarter of 2009."
"At E-PropertyWorld, we are looking at the French market very seriously. We have recognized the huge potential in France for 2010."
Market Rebound
"We are currently seeing all of the key indicators lining up. The French economy has rebounded but at the same time, there is an abundance of properties that had been taken off the market which are now being re-listed. It's a healthy time to invest in French property and we at E-PropertyWorld, are investing as well. We have just announced a free 3-month membership for Agents and Developers who sign up at France.e-propertyworld.com."
If history is correct, Springtime is the season for French real estate. While Spring is normally considered a time of growth, French property owners are known for emerging from the Winter and placing their properties on the market. Almost 3/4 of all French property listings for the year are made during the Spring.
"Quality of Life"
Hardly anyone can refute the advantages of French living. France is consistently rated the number one place to retire by "Living" professionals. Exceptional healthcare, a secure infrastructure and safety and freedom have all been given high marks, But who can deny the dream of waking up in a home cascading with wisteria; outdoor markets 3 times a week. Where foie gras, pink garlic, Armagnac, and crystallized violets aren't gourmet fare, just another day's shopping.
If you are looking for that bed and breakfast you've always dreamed of owning, now just might be the time. To learn more, visit E-PropertyWorld today!
