Demand is intensifying, goods are becoming scarce... Transaction volume remains high in the Savoie and Ain regions. The need for outdoor and additional space is still there. However, tighter credit access and tension generated by prices are pushing potential buyers away.
Several reasons explain this appetite for the South Bugey and Avant-Pays Savoyard. Firstly, a notable attraction to more rural territories, which attract thanks to their charm and peacefulness. Also, buyers' desires have been driven by low interest rates, even if a rise is currently underway. Result: prices are soaring, owners hesitate to sell, buyers are more demanding.
Tense market: getting support for the purchase of your home
In these conditions, buying a property in Belley or Chindrieux can become a real ordeal. Indeed, a real estate purchase project requires a lot of energy, time, and knowledge, even more so when the market is tense. To see more clearly and succeed in your purchase project, you can call on a professional who can mobilize their network of contacts, advise you, and support you in finding the right property for you. To do this, they can help you determine the criteria on which you may need to compromise to succeed in your purchase in a complicated market.
Buying a property is a life project, involving doubts and risks. That's why, beyond all the technical, financial, and administrative aspects it involves, support remains essential. The real estate agent must be present and especially available for their clients at every stage.
Also, knowledge of the territory and its assets is a real plus for buyers looking for the perfect home. Being able to advise families on good schools nearby, sports and cultural activities in their future community, that's also the role of a real estate agent!
At a time when properties are scarce and buyers are quickly positioning themselves on available properties, a professional will know how to react quickly as soon as a new property comes up. If it meets your search criteria and is estimated according to market prices, they will present you the property and propose a visit. Also, a professional can offer you properties that are not yet on the market, as they have just been put up for sale. Some real estate agencies operate with shared files within a professional network. Your contact can thus offer you properties available for sale by other member agencies.
Selling a property in a tense market
While buyers are doubling their efforts to quickly realize their projects, on the owners' side, the uncertainty related to the market is rather pushing them to postpone their sales. The current situation remains very favorable for putting a property up for sale, but this might not last. Indeed, we are in a very high and dynamic market that should gradually calm down by the end of the year, particularly with the rise in interest rates.
More than ever, professional advice is necessary to succeed in selling. Placed as an intermediary between you and the potential buyer, they can act as a guide throughout the sales process: they can direct you to diagnosticians, craftsmen, offer various services according to your needs. Also, they will know how to evaluate your home at the right price and showcase it in the market.
Among their duties, they schedule visits and manage calls, supervise the different stages of the process, negotiate with buyers, and verify their solvency. Our banking partners inform us that by the end of the year, one in two bank files will be rejected, and notaries are already beginning to notice it, with the rise in interest rates.
A meticulous check of the solvency of buyers becomes essential to succeed in your sales project, at the risk of losing several months, and arriving in a less favorable context. Note that in a tense market, the professional is also a guarantee of quality for buyers who will be reassured to see a professional, expert in the sector, take charge of the sale of the property. Also, they are more demanding, that's why choosing a local professional with good knowledge of the sector is a guarantee of selling in the best conditions.
