A little history
Due to the presence of numerous archaeological sites, the territory of Fontaine holds relative importance in the prehistory of the Alps, including notably three sites that have benefited from excavations. La balme de Glos is a site which, during the Magdalenian period (15,000 to 13,000 years BC), sheltered hunters of ibex, reindeer and beavers. Above the flint layers, layers and a burial were discovered dating from the Neolithic period, adorned with a boar's tusk, beneath levels from the final Bronze Age.

Selling in Fontaine
Pricing in Fontaine starts by placing your property inside the €1,516 to €2,348 band rather than on the median alone. The median describes the middle of the market; condition, floor, outdoor space and energy rating decide where in the band you sit.
With 263 sales a year, Fontaine absorbs correctly priced properties. An over-ambitious price shows quickly, because buyers have points of comparison.
Briveo values your Fontaine property from the same DVF file, keeping only sales of comparable properties closest to your address, free of charge and with no obligation, then supports the sale through to the deed.
Buying in Fontaine
Reading the €1,516 to €2,348 band is a buyer’s main tool in Fontaine. A property at the bottom is not a bargain and one at the top is not a rip-off, the band measures how different the properties are, not how well they are priced.
Prices moving up narrow the room for negotiation without closing it, a property that has been on the market a long time is negotiable whatever the trend says.
Acquisition costs are budgeted on top of the price, around 8 % on an existing property, around 3 % on a new one. These are orders of magnitude; the notary computes the exact amount.
