Good Time to Sell?

lindz writes in Home & Garden

We have had our flat on the market for 3 months now and are having trouble budging it... is this a tricky period or something?

Some say yes, others say no, friends of ours have just sold - in the first week! How are you advertising it and is your price right?

We don't have a for sale sign up to avoid sunday visitors (you know the kind of visitors who dont really want to buy the place, just fancy a trip out!) but we have it with numerous agencies and the price is 430,000 for 80 sqare metres.

In the rest of France, the market is very slow at the moment, and saturated with properties for sale. People are having to be very realistic in what they ask for their properties, if they are serious about selling. However because of the high demand, my understanding is that the market in Paris is different and always bouyant. Perhaps the Paris market is being affected by the problems in foreign economies as many buyers in the capital are foreign.

Apparently the high end of the market is as bouyant as ever, but there is a lack of good properties in the mid-range (whatever that is in Paris)

Well that is good news then, as our flat is definitely in the middle bracket both in terms of price and quality. We will keep our fingers crossed as we already have our eye on something bigger!
