Selling in Marseille 1er Arrondissement

With 686 sales a year, Marseille 1er Arrondissement absorbs correctly priced properties. An over-ambitious price shows quickly, because buyers have points of comparison.

Buying in Marseille 1er Arrondissement
Reading the €2,438 to €3,969 band is a buyer’s main tool in Marseille 1er Arrondissement. 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.
