Cette ann\u00e9e, il a mis en place de nouvelles taxes assez lourdes sur les r\u00e9sidences secondaires (ce qui touche pr\u00e8s de 40% de villas sur la C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur) et r\u00e9fl\u00e9chit activement \u00e0 d\u2019autres moyens de d\u00e9courager la sp\u00e9culation immobili\u00e8re, les achats d\u2019investisseurs \u00e9trangers, les locations Airbnb et les r\u00e9sidences secondaires.

They do this so they can point at that sale in an attempt to justify their far-above-market asking prices, and so that they can manipulate the publicized average m\u00b2 prices. So, if you see one or two sales that are far higher than market value, those shouldn&#8217;t be considered in your calculation of the average m\u00b2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 2 (optional, for accuracy):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, compare the map from <a href=\"https:\/\/france-cadastre.fr\/permisdeconstruire\/villefranche-sur-mer&amp;section=AC&amp;plan=141\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the planning permissions website<\/a> (search for the town in the top blue bar, then scroll down and click the green button to view all planning permissions) to <a href=\"https:\/\/app.dvf.etalab.gouv.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the DVF website that lists sold properties<\/a> with their prices.

Then, to find out where in that range <em>this <\/em>villa fits, you look at these factors, which either put it higher or lower in the range:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What is the <strong>qualit\u00e9<\/strong> of the villa and is it well-built? Is the building itself very high quality, middle-of-the-road, or low quality? Does it have things that good builds have, like a &#8216;vide sanitaire&#8217; gap (mini-basement area so that mold doesn&#8217;t build up on the bottom floor), etc?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are the interior appliances and finishings, kitchen, bathrooms, floors, etc. <strong>luxury or basic<\/strong>?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does the villa come with <strong>extra space<\/strong> not included in the &#8216;habitable&#8217; m\u00b2 &#8212; a pool house or guest house \/ apartment? If so, add value. If not, subtract.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Figure out if the villa is in a more or less expensive part of that <strong>area<\/strong> \/ town. For example, areas closer to the water are much more valuable. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How is the <strong>view<\/strong>? Could it get blocked in the future? A fantastic, unobstructed sea view increases the value. Seeing neighbors or other villas in the view lowers it. This is less true in areas where most of the villas have a great view, like Eze.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the style of the villa <strong>modern or an older style<\/strong>? New, modern villas sell for considerably more per m\u00b2 (and have many, many more buyers who want them &#8212; including wealthy buyers, who will sometimes pay above market value) than traditional, classic, Provencale, &#8216;modern-style&#8217;-Provencale, or outdated-looking styles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When was the villa built? <strong>Newer<\/strong> villas sell for more money and require less repairs. <strong>Older<\/strong> villas likely need work to update the electrical, plumbing, roof, sewer, and other problems, so take that into account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then factor in if it needs <strong>renovations<\/strong>, and what that will cost. If it doesn&#8217;t, that makes it more valuable, but if it does, that pushes it down in value quite a bit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the <strong>land is buildable<\/strong>, so you could expand the house, that would add a small amount of value, but if not, it would remove value. If it&#8217;s in a <a href=\"https:\/\/iconicalps.com\/fr\/guide-immobilier-france-choses-%c3%a0-d%c3%a9couvrir\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"20660\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">red zone<\/a>, the price should drop about 20%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Factor in how much <strong>land <\/strong>is included and the quality of the <strong>gardens<\/strong>, pool, garage, etc. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does the villa use a <strong>shared driveway<\/strong>? This lowers the m\u00b2 value, and adds regular maintenance costs (as well as potential legal disputes) that you&#8217;ll need to budget for. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is there a normal-sized swimming <strong>pool<\/strong>? If there&#8217;s no pool, can one be built? (Make sure to verify that it comes with valid permissions first!) If you&#8217;ll need to build it, then deduct double the cost of the pool from the price. If it&#8217;s not guaranteed that you can build a pool, then the value drops by about 40%, and you should seriously consider not buying, as you won&#8217;t be able to rent it easily (or at all) as a vacation rental, nor will it be easy to resell.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Will there be noisy <strong>construction <\/strong>nearby? (<a href=\"https:\/\/france-cadastre.fr\/permisdeconstruire\/eze&amp;section=AC&amp;plan=125\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Check building permits here<\/a>.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is it in a community, walking distance to a <strong>school<\/strong> or in a guarded <strong>domaine<\/strong>? This increases the price. If it&#8217;s <strong>isolated<\/strong>, that decreases the price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then check if there&#8217;s other factors that would lower the price, such as a train within earshot, being <strong>overlooked<\/strong>, a bumpy driveway, low mobile signal, no fiber, or ugly <strong>power lines<\/strong>, or road <strong>noise<\/strong> &#8212; all of which would significantly lower the value.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another part of determining what a villa will sell for is finding out how long it&#8217;s been on the market. Since agents likely won&#8217;t tell you the truth (or they&#8217;ll just tell you how long <em>they&#8217;ve<\/em> had the listing), the best option is to get the <em>diagnostics <\/em>reports and the <em>mandat <\/em>(the agreement to list) from the agent, and look at the date on them. Then you&#8217;ll know that it&#8217;s been for sale for <em>au moins<\/em> that long. (BUT since diagnostics reports are only valid for three years, if the villa has been on the market for more than three years, the diagnostics might have recently been re-done and show a more recent date.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"blue_txt\">If it's been on the market for more than a few months, there's a reason: either the price is much, much too high, or there are serious issues with the property.<\/span> The longer it&#8217;s been on the market, the lower your offer should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That will tell you where in the m\u00b2 price range to value it. You should also take into account the trajectory of the market (<a href=\"https:\/\/iconicalps.com\/fr\/tendances-des-pr%c3%a9visions-du-march%c3%a9-immobilier-en-france\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"15882\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here&#8217;s how to tell if prices are rising or falling<\/a>). This will give you a price that you can justify in a letter to the seller. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the seller accepts, then you can get surveys done to see if the m\u00b2 is accurate, if the villa needs electrical or plumbing upgrades, etc. and based on that you can further adjust the price before putting the offer in a legal contract with the notaire (whom you should have selected in advance).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"get-an-appraisal-valuation\">Method #3: Get an Appraisal \/ Valuation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re very interested in a property, and the owner needs more convincing to get to the market price, then you can pay for an appraisal \/ valuation. But remember &#8212; not all sellers really want to sell, or will listen to logic \/ reason. The only way to truly know if a seller was misinformed by their agent and really wants to sell, is to have a discussion directly to the owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To get an appraisal, contact the bank where you plan to get your mortgage. They will have a list of appraisers that they use. Also ask them how long the appraisal is valid for, so it can be used for the mortgage (otherwise you&#8217;ll end up paying for it twice). Banks always make you pay for an appraisal as part of the cost of setting up the mortgage (it costs about \u20ac3000), but usually this is done after visiting the notaire. However, <span class=\"blue_txt\">you can choose to do the appraisal sooner, and use that appraisal for bargaining with the seller<\/span> \/ proving that the price should be lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To choose an appraiser, ask their process and ask if they go based on the m\u00b2 villa sizes that the notaires publish. If they say yes, then don&#8217;t use them. You need an appraiser who understands that <a href=\"https:\/\/iconicalps.com\/fr\/moyennes-des-prix-immobiliers-du-m2-en-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"26965\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the m\u00b2 listed by the notaires are incorrect<\/a>, otherwise they&#8217;ll appraise the villa at roughly three times higher price than market value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"don-t-waver\">Don&#8217;t Waver!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s how the real estate (and many other markets) work: One uneducated buyer overpays for something, and then all the brokers and agents point to that sale and yell &#8220;<em>see?<\/em> this is the real value of <em>tout<\/em> villas!&#8221; Don&#8217;t listen. You know the real market value, and it&#8217;s based on the majority of sales, not one or two sales that were overpriced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make your offer directly to the owner if you can (you can make a <a href=\"https:\/\/france-cadastre.fr\/cadastredep\/6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">demande d&#x27;informations sur le propri\u00e9taire d&#x27;une villa<\/a>) or else do it via a notaire, explaining that it&#8217;s based on the market value, and stand firm. Don&#8217;t negotiate, or the seller will know they can squeeze more out of you and it&#8217;ll be harder to reach a market-value deal. Don&#8217;t let agents confuse or manipulate you. Stick to your price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If they say no, you can tell them to come back to you if their property doesn&#8217;t sell, and if you haven&#8217;t found something else by then, you may still be interested. If they&#8217;re a serious seller, this tactic is likely to get you a good price &#8212; eventually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If they&#8217;re not a serious seller then they won&#8217;t take your offer unless you dramatically overpay, which you should absolutely not do (if you&#8217;re in a rush to find housing, it makes more financial sense to find a yearly rental while you continue to look for a market-price villa). Buying real estate on the French Riviera is all about patience. You will find a great villa at market value eventually. (It typically takes years of looking.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best situation is to find a serious seller whose villa doesn&#8217;t have any major issues, but where it hasn&#8217;t sold because it&#8217;s overpriced. Then you use this tactic and offer market value (which could be, in many cases, much less than half of the asking price!) Keep checking in, and eventually when the villa doesn&#8217;t sell, they&#8217;ll come back to you when they&#8217;re desperate to sell (when the time has run out on their personal situation) and at that point you might even be able to negotiate an under-market price to complete a quick sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have patience, as buying real estate is much like marriage &#8212; if you make the wrong decision it can be a very costly mistake and long-term commitment that&#8217;s not easy to back out of.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Here&#8217;s a list of <a href=\"https:\/\/iconicalps.com\/fr\/guide-des-agents-immobiliers-en-france\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"20655\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">(dishonest) things agents say<\/a>.<\/strong> It&#8217;s very important to look at the list regularly so you don&#8217;t fall for their lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:61px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"buying-a-villa-read-this-first\">Acheter une villa ?
