The price of French Riviera property has dropped below €2 million for the first time, according to the latest EstateNetFrance report. The agent's Luxury Property Index reveals that while demand from buyers stayed strong in January, the average cost of prime real estate on the Riviera is now at an all-time low of €1,925.383.
As the prices fell at the start of 2012, the number of houses for sale in the area actually increased; 16 per cent more properties were on the market last month compared to December 2011 as sellers held back on listings before the change in French tax laws, which came into effect at the start of January.
