WITH A SEA VIEW FOR SALE IN FRANCE FOR LESS THAN €500,000 Only 5% of searches were for homes in Paris, despite 19% of the population living there, which could be explained by the capital’s

high prices prompting Parisians to look elsewhere. The average budget people propose in their searches was €319,999, which, according to a RECENT STUDY by the Notaires de France, is higher

than the average sale price for homes in most regions. This budget could be skewed by people browsing beyond their means or by the weight of the more expensive towns in searches. In reality,

the average price per square metre is currently €2,510 for a house (bringing the cost of an 80m² house to €200,800) and €3,934 for an apartment. READ MORE: 4 WAYS TO LOWER THE PRICE WHEN
