📊 THE NUMBERS ARE IN: FRENCH PROPERTY MARKET IS SHIFTING.

Sales are picking up, but prices aren’t following. And that’s changing the game for buyers and sellers alike.

🔑 For buyers, the market is shifting in your favor
-Prices are stabilizing
-Negotiation is back

-Buyers are becoming pickier; overpriced properties can sit
-Property condition and energy ratings matter more now

🔎 The national numbers only tell part of the story. For Paris and some of France’s most desirable coastal markets, things could look different.

The French country house is making a comeback.

🌿 Creuse: just €80,000

The Country House Is Back By Jay Corless, edited by Adrian Leeds France’s rural property markets are moving again. According to SAFER’s 2025 analysis of rural land markets,

Going through the process of moving to France doesn’t necessarily make someone a relocation expert. We share what to look for *before* you hire someone to help you create your new life in France:

*Personal experience and professional expertise are not the same thing.
*Real expertise comes from years on the ground, working through different situations and with many different clients.
*A true expert doesn’t sell you “Fantasy France.” They educate you, manage expectations, and sometimes tell you what you don’t want to hear if they think you might be taking a wrong turn.

Everyone’s an “Expert” on Moving to France…Until They Aren’t - Adrian Leeds Group With the massive numbers of Americans moving to France come a lot of entrepreneurs. The word entrepreneur comes directly from French, and originally had nothing specifically to do with business…

If you’re planning to buy property in France, be prepared for a major culture shock. Nothing works the way you expect.

*There’s no MLS providing a complete view of the market.
*Buyer representation as Americans know it doesn’t exist.
*The process can move slowly.
*And negotiation isn’t always driven by the logic you’d expect.

That’s where we come in.

We don’t replace the French system—we translate it so you can navigate it successfully.

In this Nouvellettre®, we take a closer look at the differences that matter—and why we call what we do “French Property the American Way.”
