[quote=givdrvr]Congrats on your aquisitions Jazzman! What vehicles did you use to find your dream home in France?[/quote]
Greenacres.com is about the best for some areas, followed by Leggett and Rightmove.co.uk, but the best method is to pound the sidewalks and visit individual agents offices close to the locations you are looking in. With the market so down in France, agents are more responsive and you will find you get the red carpet treatment. You are a rare beast if you are looking in this market …that’s usually the best time in my books. It’s past the delusional seller stage and asking prices are a bit more realistic, but low ball offers perfectly acceptable. Houses are sitting anything up to 5 years. One thorn is exchange rates which make the Eurozone expensive. If you believe the dollar will strengthen, then that might be a temporary blip. Loans are hard to come by, so the market favors cash buyers.
