The end of 2024 created a surprise on the real estate market. While notaries deplored activity still at half-mast in mid-December, based on figures finalized at the end of September, the last quarter of 2024 gave signs of a real recovery. “The year has been mixed. The existing real estate market continued to plunge in the first half of the year, then sales volumes began to rise again in the summer, and the last quarter showed very strong growth.observes Charles Marinakis, president of Century 21 in France, the main agency network in terms of number of transactions.
The number of sales thus fell by more than 10% in the first quarter, but jumped by a little more than 20% in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to the same periods of 2023. As a result, the brand recorded a slight increase in activity of 2.8% over the year, according to figures published Monday January 6.
An observation shared within the profession. After two years of decline, sales (under compromise) increased by 7% in 2024 within the Laforêt network, where it is estimated that “the hardest part seems to be over”. ORPI, for its part, shows a 12% increase in compromises signed in 2024 in France, compared to 2023. “The end of 2024 marked a long-awaited clearing”welcomes its president, Guillaume Martinaud.
