In search of more spacious accommodation, you must Sell ​​your main residence current to finance this new purchase? Armed up with patience: in February, sales times continued to lie down, reaching 83 days on average in France, 11 more days than a year ago, according to data published by Seloger this Monday, March 3. And do not imagine being better off if your property is in a metropolis rather than in an average city: “No market segment is spared by this extension of sales times”underlines Seloger. Thus, in the 50 largest municipalities in France, it is necessary to count on average 81 daysor six more than in February 2024, for a housing to find takers.

The 10 largest cities in France are no exception to the rule, with an extension of five days of the average sales period at 82 days. An average that masks notable disparities. In Lyon, the average sale period is stable, at 79 days, and it increases by only three days in Bordeaux, to reach 89 days. On the other hand, in Nice, an additional week is now necessary to carry out a transaction, compared to February 2024. Sales times are further longer in Montpellier (+10 days), Strasbourg (+11 days) and Nantes (+16 days). In Rennes and Lille, they explode around 21 days. Rennes, Montpellier and Nantes thus cross the three -month bar needed to make a real estate salewith respective deadlines of 93, 94 and 98 days.

Sellers pending “real estate spring”

Conversely, the average sales period plunged 17 days in Toulouse. So much It is today in the pink city that goods find the fastest lesseewith an average sale period reduced to 67 days, one less than in Strasbourg (68 days). Another city where the average sales time is reduced, not a year but for three months: Paris. If he still reaches the high level of 76 days, he still decreased by three days since December 1. It is so that the capital comes to the top of the 11 cities where the average sales time is the shortest. “The seasonal recovery of the market is traditionally earlier in the capital than elsewhere”explains Seloger. The three months of March in May concentrate the bulk of annual purchases of housing in France but this “spring of real estate” is generally earlier in Paris.

It is precisely the prospect of these spring purchases, which should be supported this year by the drop in prices and credit rates after two years of real estate crisis, which “May explain the extension of sales timesadvance seloger. Sellers prefer to expect potential new purchase offers rather than resigning yourself to lower their price ” again.
