A lot of the english websites for french property have sections called 'recently reduced', but in my opinion isn't it just better to know the market - then if you see a house you like, you know whether your getting a good deal or not?

Also if you are serious about buying a place you can always make an offer - we are paying 35% less then the marketed price for the house we are buying - but this was achieved through research and negotiation.

Welcome.

I totally agree. Before we bought our house in Pays de la Loire, I had been visiting the area for years and knew local people so could get a good feel for the market. That way I knew what would be seen as a cheeky offer and what would be a fair reduction to a farmer who was chancing his luck.

We are currently looking for another property in Pas de Calais for a permanent residence and have been watching the market for over a year.

Like you say, know your market

It is not Spain AND France AND Italy.

It is Spain OR France OR Italy

Why was it so confusing?

Ka Ora!

Because it's just the same Thread in 3 Forum Sections. Plus considering you were looking in France this time a couple of years ago. Anyway that aside what's your idea of a low buying price that suits you.

The system described by asj968 would be a great solution (citation: This post is not much use as I can't remember the website address but there is one which shows the history of the property since it has been for sale with a graph showing the price as it has been reduced over time. I will have to have a dig around.)

Purchasing home may take many years especially if you are buying it from abroad.
