The national association of estate agent (FNAIM) paints a mixed picture of a genuine revival in sales, but persistent obstacles that threaten to weaken this momentum.

According to the report, the volume of transactions in the existing homes segment has picked up, with 910,000 sales recorded by the end of July, an +8.7% increase year-on-year. FNAIM anticipates that this trend will continue: sales could reach between 925,000 and 930,000 units by the end of the year.
