A special edition about the real estate crisis and the best offers: broadcast on April 7, 2024, on the M6 channel.

On Sunday, April 7, 2024, a new episode of Capital with Julien Courbet on the French channel M6 will be shown on the situation of the real estate market in France. The episode will be available to watch for free on the 6play platform. Where can I watch the Capital program in recording? The episode is available for free on 6play.fr.

Is it worth buying or renting property in France in 2024?

In the next episode of the program Capital, an important question is raised: what is better - to buy or to rent real estate? With the multiple increase in interest rates over the past two years, this issue is becoming more relevant. The rental market is complicated by limited supply, especially in large cities. The choice between buying and renting depends on many factors, including financial situation, personal ambitions, and surprisingly, the desired place of residence. The strategy for optimal choice varies significantly from city to city, affecting changes in prices per square meter and rental rates.

The situation in the real estate market in France

It is also worth noting that according to real estate market statistics, the number of transactions for new apartments has decreased by almost 50%, and construction companies are facing a 70% drop in demand for home purchases. It seems that it is becoming increasingly difficult for buyers to obtain mortgage loans. Some developers are forced to conduct large-scale price reduction campaigns, offering significant commercial discounts and additional bonuses to attract buyers.

Mortgage loans and negotiation

The situation in the real estate market is weakening the position of developers and opening up opportunities for increased pressure on pricing policies.

But how far can one go in negotiations when purchasing real estate? Capital explores this dynamic through an in-depth study covering Lyon, the French Riviera, and the Paris region. In Lyon, Charlene and Nicolas preferred to buy rather than rent... But with a budget of 180,000 euros and clearly defined criteria, they will have to move away from the city center!

Mortgage loans and discounts

In addition, Capital's report explores the pursuit of obtaining a mortgage in the context of rapidly rising interest rates, which creates challenging conditions for purchasing real estate. The Capital team is investigating opportunities not only for securing loans under difficult circumstances but also for significant savings during the transaction. Buyers who managed to achieve discounts of up to 40% on the price of their homes will be highlighted. What strategies did they use? Furthermore, some have successfully increased their own down payment, thereby easing access to mortgages. Capital also notes that some companies are willing to finance their employees' mortgage loans.
