Prices for real estate purchases are falling across France. The reason is the explosive growth in interest rates on loans, which professionals believe will last for at least a few months. Houses are being sold, and prices are dropping.

In Shell (Seine-et-Marne), Florence Bugot sold her family house, which is 60 square meters with a small garden.

The drop in prices is explained by a surge in interest rates on loans, according to the director of the real estate agency that made the sale. "Over the year, buyers have lost an average of at least 10% of their purchasing power for housing, along with the requirement to have a 10% down payment," explains Paul Gintermeier, director of the Guy Hoquet agency in Schelle.

In France, prices are falling everywhere. No region has been left out. According to professionals, the situation will last for at least a few months.
