I thought I was 'too late' and had missed all the bargains when I bought a house in Normandy in 1994. I said to myself if only I had bought 5 or 10 years ago I would have picked up a bargain!

I never thought it would happen but property prices have been going back in time for a few years now, it is actually cheaper to buy a house in France now than 10 or so years ago. Not just in relative terms and with inflation/deflation etc. BUT in actual hard cash terms property prices are at an all time low.

As an example you HAVE TO SEE the property we sold yesterday!

Just sold this property for a bit less than asking price of 43,500 - SLD02075 

It may not last much longer though so act quick if you are serious about buying a property in France, every dip is followed by a peak and prices may be set to rise, who knows?

AND the Pound is strong, so you get more Euros for your money!
