french housing market update

EVERYBODY is in agreement that French property prices are falling. What's not clear is by how much. It would seem that there are as many forecasts on the French housing market as there are economists in France.

Accurate economic data in France lacks the transparancy of some neighbouring economies. Pricing forecasts come from a number of different available sources. The result is a wide ranging set of predictions and statements depending on the data to hand.

Essentially it all boils down to data from two groups, The Optimists and The Pessimists.
