If you want to sell your villa, you’ll need to know two things: the real true value of your property, and why agents tell you it’s worth more than it really is.
How to Figure Out What Your Villa is Really Worth
The #1 thing to know is: the market value. The market value of your villa is based on the past sales in the nearby area — not the fake m² pricing averages. This is what your villa will sell for. You can’t trust what an agent tells you the market value is (see below for why) — so you’ll need to do your own research.
- First, learn about m² statistics, and why they are incorrect (this is the most important thing to learn about the French real estate market).
- The way to figure out the market value of your villa is described here (it’s the same process for both buyers and sellers).
