My-French-House.com gathers views from a lawyer and 2 estate agents on buyer confidence, property prices and the outlook for the market ahead of the elections.
Property buyers don’t like lack of clarity”
FRANCE, November 1, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- With France’s next presidential election scheduled for April and May 2027, property professionals are assessing how political uncertainty could affect buyers’ decisions and the wider housing market.— Laurent Bounet - Lawyer in France
My-French-House.com, an international property portal that has monitored the French property market since 2004, has collected views from three experienced professionals operating in different regions of France. Their assessments indicate that some buyers may take a more cautious approach, although there is no clear consensus on whether prices will decline nationally.
Laurent Bounet, an English-speaking lawyer at a notarial practice near Toulouse, says that buyers are often reluctant to commit when the political and economic outlook is uncertain.
As he puts it, “Buyers don’t like a lack of clarity"
Estate agents Guillaume, who works in the Dordogne, and Freddy, a longstanding property partner in the Languedoc, offer differing perspectives on the outlook. Guillaume believes prices could decline slightly if sales volumes weaken, but expects any adjustment in his area to be moderate. Freddy considers a decline of around 5% possible, while acknowledging that prices could also remain stable or recover relatively quickly.
For international buyers, My-French-House’s analysis underscores the importance of looking beyond political headlines. Financing, the intended use of a property, its location and its asking price remain central to purchase decisions. The election may influence when some buyers choose to act, but its effects are unlikely to be uniform across the French market. So watch this space. BLOG
